My Cub Scout Pack use to go to LSU games and we would escort people to their seat's. I think that was the 1971/1972 season. I was 7 or 8 but did not really follow LSU football back then. SO I don't recall which games we went to. I do recall one game there was barley anybody there. Another game was packed and it got very poud that game. So I don't really recall those 60's and early 70's teams.
But by the 1978 season I was starting to follow LSU a little. By then it had been may years since LSU beat bama. Talk was that the game had passed ole Cholly Mac up and he needed to go. 1979 season LSU barley lost to USC and bama and both were NC teams that season. USC was loaded with talent. Those were moral victories. Something fans accepted at that time.
When Bo Rein was hired we were very excited. He was a very good coach, young and smart. I truly believe had he not died LSU would have competed for NC's during the 80's.
