re: Where were you 17 years ago tonight?

In the Dome with my seven year old grandson who had already become a fanatical Tiger fan. During the 2003 season I brought him with me to most of the home games in Tiger stadium. It was so much fun to see a true Tiger fan being born over the course of the season. He is now an LSU grad and a lifelong Tiger fanatic. He was fortunate to be in the dome again to see JB and the Tigers cap off the greatest season ever. An interesting side note: We were in Baton Rouge at my daughter’s house in 2006 watching the televised CWS Final. Just minutes before Warren Morris came up to the plate to make another “great moment in LSU athletics history” my daughter placed this same kid in my lap to hold. Who knows, maybe some kind of cosmic LSU brain waves from all of us wildly celebrating Morris’ walk off home run were somehow burned into his six month old brain. He’s also very lucky that I was able to keep my composure and didn’t drop him on the floor.
