Dad and I sat out on our front porch on Sat nights in 1958 to listen to games broadcast on radio. We didn't have a TV. Tigers weren't on TV anyway.
The radio was plugged into the living room wall socket and the screened windows were open so we could here it about 4 feet behind our chairs. We looked out into the dark watching the fire flies.
Radio looked like this...

I forget the year but it was during the Curly Hallman era and LSU was playing South Carolina at home. Earlier that week my Dad told me and my brother that he was going to take us to the game for my bro’s birthday. Gameday comes around and my brother was sick and couldn’t make it, my Dad said “that’s a shame” and just took me. Anyway there was more to the surprise than just the game, my Dad was pretty tight with Gov. Edwards so he lined up for us to meet at the governor’s mansion and head to the game in a limo with the Gov. Get to the mansion and Warrick Dunn was there (bye week during his last season at FSU) he was in town b/c they were honoring his Mom. Rode to the game with Warrick, dad, gov, and some guy that looking back on it seemed like an agent. Watched the game in a suite with Warrick (awesome guy), he let me wear his championship ring from the year before and we drank as many coke’s as we wanted. Pretty awesome night even though I’m pretty sure the Tiger’s lost.
