re: Listening to the games on the radio in the old days

Listening to John Ferguson was like being there. At least it seemed that way. Yeah, WWL was the place to be on Saturday nights. At least until Mac packed... then it began to get a bit more dicey.

In the early 80's we moved to California and to listen to the games my dad would call my aunt in Lafayette (long distance was ridiculously expensive back then) and she would leave her phone by the radio. We would put the earpiece of our phone next to a microphone attached to our stereo system so we could hear the games. I was just a kid so I have no idea what my dad was paying for the long distance but it had to be high...

My dad played for Auburn, but my brother and I were born in Louisiana. For whatever reason, my brother fell in love with Bear and Bama, because they seemed to be on TV every weekend. I, on the other hand, was born a Fightin Tiger. My dad was less than impressed with either of our choices.
lol
This SEC combination made for some interesting fist fights in the back yard.
My brother wound up graduating from South Alabama and marrying a former Aubie cheerleader.
I went to USL and lucked up and convinced a Cajun girl to marry me.
We have made whatever game is in Baton Rouge either Auburn or Bama every year since the late 80s.

I'd have a heart attack when he would say "Iiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn - tercepted" or "Iiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn - complete".
