1995 when I graduated high school. I was a fan of the baseball and basketball teams since 1990 but the football team sucked so I really and truly watched other teams like Miami, FSU, ND, and Nebraska.

I did watch a few games before 95 but I mainly followed tech and NLU from Louisiana

1987. Checked in just in time to watch Archer be a dud and Hallman to come in and take away the magic.

1995. Lsu over auburn with a late interception to seal it. Got to watch from the sideline as a recruit and was sold completely. Loved Kevin Faulk and later herb Tyler and Rohan. great time be a tiger.

But when was the first season you actually took it all in and became a dedicated fan, emotionally invested in the program? Also, who was that one player you remember from that season the most. Just want to get an idea of the different generations on the board.
First LSU game was 67 against Bama in Tiger Stadium. (Junior High School then)

I started attending all LSU home games in 72. (Bert Jones-Tommy Casanova)

LSU Freshman in 74. GBFTL in 74 and 76-82.

I've seen probably 90% (Estimated) of the games in TS since graduating in 82.

Still play in the Alumni Band every few years, but not every year because it's gotten kind of stale and boring. Many of us want to do more on the field (Like other college Alumni Bands) than just the SOS every year!

My uncle his freshman year, brought home with him one weekend to my grandmothers house for dinner in New Orleans, Joe LaBruzzo. I was on cloud nine as a youngster and he was my hero when he played at LSU. I'm 59 now and it started for me when Joe played. Thrilled when I would hear his name mentioned on tv and on the radio on Saturday nights. Very saddened when he took his own life.

1979. Freshman year @ LSU, although my dad had tickets from 1959 moving forward, so I kinda grew up with it.

1973, my freshman year at LSU. I was 17 years old and the week after we lost 21-7 to stinkin' Alabama, we also lost to (then) arch-rival Tulane. They shut us out and people were crying in the stadium. I thought they were insane. But it didn't take me long to get it - the next few years were rough! We never beat Bama while I was a student

My brother played defensive end at LSU so he's my all time favorite player, of course!
