I stumbled upon the LSU Libraries Digital Collection and wanted to share a few of the photos I found. Feel free to add any you may have

1902 LSU v Auburn (we kicked that arse 5-0)

1930 Pregame, Huey P. Long talking with referees prior to game


quote:

In 1934, Long announced that he had arranged for several trains to carry the entire student body to the Tigers’ away game at Vanderbilt University in Nashville to boost the team’s morale.



North Endzone Expansion (Summer of 1936)




Nov 28th, 1936 LSU v Tulane

1970 Team

quote:

This series of shots show the last second of the game in which Bert Jones threw a touchdown pass to Brad Davis to tie up the game. The scoreboard images show before and after the touchdown extra point, a diagram of the play, and action shots of the play. Coach Charles McClendon said this after the game: “We always tell our players not to give up even if there’s one second on the board and that’s what it came down to Saturday night.”









1986 LSU Notre Dame

what apparatus is hanging around their necks in the earlier photos? I'm curious to see what type of equipment it is.

always thought the stadium would be better if the field was a bit below the stands,- why anyone sits in those first 6-7 rows is beyond me

being that i'm old i can help identify a few of the random photos.

1979-Mac's final game in Tiger Stadium. 21-3 victory over MSU.


1971 Sun Bowl victory vs.Iowa State 33-15


I'm not sure of what game this was taken during, but I can recall this being the photo on the cover of the 1968 program cover vs. Kentucky. 13-3 Tiger victory.

Great pictures. Thanks for posting.

Can you imagine the outrage if they did this in today's overly PC climate?
