My dad always talked about the magic of LSU in Tiger Stadium when I was a little kid growing up in Atlanta. One thanksgiving while visiting family in New Orleans, he decided to take my brother and me to the Arkansas game. This had to be somewhere from 1992-1995.
He was so excited to bring us. Show me and my brother the Magic. If LSU won this game, they would be bowl eligible.
He was so dissappointed. It was a day game. The stadium was half empty (not half full). And they got killed. No energy. My memory is hazy; I was young and don't remember much. I do remember Arkansas running an option for 50 yards or so when they were way up.
What sticks out is how dissappointed he was.
In 2003, we went to the same game. That was awesome. Blew Arkansas out on our way to Atlanta, where I watched the LSU defense beat the hell out of David Green and Georgia (which was sweet as all my friend are bulldogs). Been to many since, but Florida in 2007, that was the magic he was talking about. One of the most amazing things ever experienced.
Thanks Dad.

Hmmm.... a lot of weird shite here, compared to my experience, in my opinion. We've had season tickets since 1982. We started in USEZ, now on east side. We went to most home games together between then and 2004, along with assorted family members... SO's, brothers, sisters, etc.
Since I moved away in 2004, we typically meet up for a game or two in BR, and at least 1 road game.
This year, we went to UO, and are going to Tuscaloosa. I also plan on attending the BCSNCG which LSU will be in, in New Orleans. We attended '03 and '07 NCG's, as well. He rolls as hard as I do, and drinks hard and yells all game.
This year before the UO game, we were in a bar in Dallas, near the stadium which had a lot of ducks in it. He stood up on a chair, and divided the room in 2. He made half the room "duck" and half the room "gumbo" then proceeded to start a chant similar to the "geaux" .... "tigers" cheer and response with the "duck" and "gumbo". The whole while I had my duck call, whailing away a mallard hail call.
I could come up with as many stories as games. He'd tiger bait your grandmother.
