re: Weddings scheduled during an LSU game

I was scheduled to play violin in a wedding in Mobile where the church's minister of music, an LSU grad, was also singing. During the ceremony, he turned to me and whispered the LSU baseball score. His wife was in the audience listening on the radio and giving him hand signals.

As for my wedding, I married a Bama fan in 1983 when LSU was in the Stovall years. LSU defeated Rice 24-10, but they went 4 and 7 that year. Funny thing, that same minister of music sang in my wedding that night. The wedding was over before the first quarter ended, so all got to leave to catch most of the game.
