I'm 70. I remember listening to LSU football in the mid-1950s when we lived in DeRidder. My Dad was a 1950 LSU graduate, my uncle Bony attended LSU, my cousin worked at LSU, and my great-uncle E.G. Blakewood played on the 1922 football team. I have a photo of the 1959 team signed by Paul Dietzel. Billy Cannon was my boyhood hero. I met Mel Branch in the Dallas Branch grocery store in DeRidder in the mid-1950s--he was no small man. I saw a host of LSU players play in the Senior Bowls as a Boy Scout when I lived in Mobile. My Dad had a dorm room in (under) Tiger Stadium when a student there in the 1940s (that room was used for storage or something when I saw it in the 1960s). Geaux Tigers.
