re: Early days of LSU football on radio?

Pre-ESPN,etc out of state LSU fans were always very fortunate to have WWL. Not sure about the explanation for it but its not as "clear" as it once was in terms of the MW and East coast.

But in the 70's and 80's it was great. In the 1970's ,and probably 60's, there was a radio "network" called "Pick of Dixie" where a local radio station that was part of the network would carry a team from the South's radio broadcast for night games. More times than not it would indeed be LSU,but sometimes Tulane,and maybe a State or Ole Miss game from the night cap of a DH in Jackson.

Kentucky also has games on a clear channel --note that's not in caps, WHAS 840 out of Louisville and a very strong station out of Cincinnati, WCKY--actually across the river in Covington,KY 1530. Georgia games are on WSB 750 out of Atlanta,another clear channel. For years Vanderbilt was on WSM 650 in Nashville,but the only problem with that they would get bumped to WSM FM for night games as 650 carried the Grand Ol' Opry.
