My first memories of LSU football.

Thanks to all of you for your discussions concerning the coaching situation.

Just thought I'd throw a little something that might be more light hearted. All this post will really prove is that I am old.

I have two "first time memories" of LSU.

1. Billy Cannon. I was a kid when he played at LSU. But, my dad was a college football nut. We used to listen to LSU at night, WWL. I remember him with the return that has gone down in football, not just LSU lore. I remember listening to the game. Honesty: I don't recall if the opponent was Ole Miss or Bama. I think it was Bama, but I'm not sure.

2. Paul Dietzel and the Chinese Bandits. NCAA has some strange substitution rules back then. So, Deitzel came up with a creative way to circumvent those rules. Had his defense run a couple of offensive plays at the end of a quarter (I think, but once again not sure) because that allowed him to have more freedom in substitutions the next quarter.

Because LSU played so many night games, I grew up somewhat of an LSU fan. Whenever we were in the car on Saturday nights in the Fall we could count on getting the LSU football game on WWL, no matter where we were in the southeast.

Good memories.

And, BTW, LSU has the coolest midfield logo in the country. No other logo comes close.
