It was bad, but we toughed it out with open windows and attic fan. Made us tougher than you may wonder!

These threads make me wonder what it was like before air conditioning.
before air conditioning, we went to swimmin' holes for relief. we went into the forest to lay in cool streams. and, you gotta include:
RADIO!!!
my daddy graduated in time for ww2. i grew up listenin' to lsu football since at least '55 with the attic fan sucking in the air.
i went to my first game in '65 (as a freshman, living in the pentegon / w/o air conditioning.)
i loved coach mac. i hated the nega-tigahs thruout the 60's. they hated dietzel for leavin' and then haten mac for not beatin' al/bear (who nobody could beat!)
for the last 60+ years of lsu football, there have always been nega-tigahs like deuce.
of course, back then we could drown 'em.
i don't know if i'm gonna die anytime soon, but, i hope it's the day after les miles retires.
then you youngsta's can just dry up and committ suicide.
i'm livin' as if i have died and gone to p/g heaven.
