I grew up in Baton Rouge in the 70s and 80s. I watched Arnsbarger and then saw it start to fall apart. I started LSU in 1990. Throughout my college career I witnessed blowout after blowout. I have seen us lose to VANDY. I sat through a monsoon to watch us get our butts kicked by FSU. I remember being ecstatic to go to the Indy Bowl. I never thought I would live to see us matter. Now we are going for a third national championship in eight years. I love this team. I love this coach. I love this time. Our time is NOW.

I will never forget the monsoon game with FSU. I was very young but distinctively remember it and going with my dad. Good times.

I too sat through that monsoon FSU game, and even though we lost, I was damn proud to be sitting there watching my Tigers, and would not trade those moments I have spent in Tiger Stadium for anything. I now live in Arizona, and football is not the same here. I am proud to drive around Mesa everyday with my purple and gold LSU flags flying high!!! Geaux Tigers! Beat Bama!!!

Amen!

I went to LSU from '92-'96 (statistically the worst 4-yr record of LSU football...I think), and I met my wife up in Boston in '98. When the '99 football season rolled around and she saw how bad the Saints and LSU Tigers were, she suggested that I pick new teams. I was even in the stadium when DiNardo decided to go for 2 vs UGa...

This all seems like I died and went to Heaven compared to all of that. It's been an immense reward for sticking with the team through it all...and I'm enjoying the ride.

Geaux Tigers!
