re: Your 1st LSU Game you watched and...

I love LSU football because it's something my dad and I share. Those Saturday afternoons were you root so hard for your team to just somehow pull it off and they do....man there is not a better feeling than enjoying that victory and having that post game phone call with your dad.

Savor that. Absolutely one of the most bittersweet things about being in the Superdome in January 2004 was feeling how desperately I wanted to reach in my pocket and call my Dad and talk about the game with him...that after waiting so long he'd finally gotten a chance to see the Tigers win another NC...but he had been gone for a little over a year. One of my most powerful memories of that night was feeling that huge hole in the middle of that wonderful sensation of having been there to see LSU do it.
