re: What was your first game to attend?

One of the Alabama games back in the mid-60's.

My uncle (A big Bama fan who lived in Tuscaloosa) would get us tickets to the LSU-BAMA game every other year in TS. The tickets in TS were always right down there in the lower SE corner in the middle of the Gump section next to the MDB. I grew up hating that UA fight song, those red and white shakers and all that Bama shite because they won every game I attended.

Remember visiting him in T-Town one year during spring practice. He had passes to get us into one of their "closed" practices. Remember seeing Bear Bryant up close on his tower and that new "fake grass" that was installed on one of the practice fields.........

My first game was against Texas A&M back in either 1961 or 62 when my whole family went from New Orleans. Then on New Years Day 1965, I was serving mass and as it ended the priest turned to me and the other altar boy and said pick a number between 1 and 4, so I said 4 and then he told the other guy, don't bother picking, he just picked the number and Father offered me his Sugar Bowl ticket. I said yes and my mom and dad drove me up to Tulane Stadium and I had 45 yard line seats for LSU vs Syracuse. The Tigers won on Doug Moreau's FG. It was a gorgeous winter afternoon sunny and cold.

Then in 1968, I enrolled at LSU and my first game was against Texas A&M and we won 13-12. That season we lost at Miami (on a Friday night), and to Ole' Miss in the last minute (to some flashy sophmore QB named Archie) and at Alabama.

And I almost forgot, we went to a brand new bowl game in Atlanta, The Peach Bowl and the Tigers beat Bill Peterson's Florida State team 31 to 27.

September 25, 1976. LSU 31 Rice 0. Terry Robiskie ran all over the owls.

Good defensive game. The Cuse was good back then. They had two RBs, Jim Nantz, and Floyd Little, who had good NFL careers. Big George Rice tackled Little for a safety, and set the tone for the day. I'm pretty sure that they were favored.

My first game was the worst lost in LSU history, when Steve Spurrier and the gators beat us like 53 to 3. Been a Die Hard ever since

LSU v/s Miss. St.

It was around 95 or so...I do know that we won.

I was 8 in 59. Just remember Cannon as linebacker stuffing the runner at the goal line.

Utah State 2001

LaBrandon Toefield had 4 TDs and there was a rainbow for most of the first quarter. I started out with tickets in the upper deck and traded around until I was ground level in the handicap section

V.Tech in 07!!!
Great first game.
