I know you are not serious, but:

Well, for one, I remember the LSU Teams of the 1950s--I knew Mel Branch in DeRidder (his Dad Dallas ran a store there). Billy Cannon was my boyhood hero.

Second, I have been using computers since around 1984, when I began my second masters degree. Before that, I used calculators. Prior to that, I actually used that long-lost skill of math.

Third, I remember George ("Gabby") Hayes, so at least two of us here are old enough to remember the first runs of Roy Rogers. (Gabby used "whippersnapper" quite a bit.

Fourth, I have a 1958 National Championship Team picture signed by Paul Dietzel I obtained by writing him in 1959 to get it.

My Dad was a student at LSU (graduated 1950) when I was born there in Baton Rouge.

So yes, there are those who remember.

Big Mel Branch, an original Chinese Bandit DE. Did well in the AFL.
I say big because he was one of the bigger players. He was about 6'3" and 210.
