Saw Cannon in the 58 season when I was 13.
Saw Borrow this year.
Sat next to Pete Maravich, both times he went to Accounting class.
Tigers have been many good times.

I saw Y.A. Tittle play as a freshman tailback against Tulane in Tiger Stadium. He was 14-18 that day, his best passing percentage as Tiger. LSU won 25-6, finishing 2-5 on the season. LSU went to the T formation the next season and had a 7-2 record, and set a school record for average yard for rush. Ray Coates (Jesuit High) and Dan Sandifer (Byrd High) were the starting halfbacks. Red Knight (Bossier High) was the fullback. End Clyde Linsdey was the MVP. They were 9-1 in 1946 and went to the Cotton Bowl. Injuries crippled the Tigers in 1947, Tittle's senior year. Ole Miss won the SEC in Vaught's first season, beating LSU 20-18 in Tiger Stadium. Charley Connerly passing to Barney Poole was an unstoppable combination for the Rebels. Tittle intercepted a Connerly pass and had his "Joe Burrow moment". He had blockers in front of him about the OM 35 when a Reb player tried to tackle Y.A and broke the belt to his pants. As his pants slipped down, Tittle held the ball with one hand and his pants with the other. Ole Miss caught him. The Rebels held and won the game and the SEC title. I was a boy scout and ushered at the game. I was 12 years old at the time.
