re: All middle age LSU grads

(no message)

That '74 loss ranks high on the list of worst LSU losses. Everyone thought the Tigers were about to turn around a disappointing season the week before, when they shut out Ole Miss on homecoming 24-0. One note of trivia: my 1967 Dodge Coronet stalled out TWICE right after the Ole Miss win, in the same location, in front of the Hodges dormitory. I got a boost TWICE, from the same young man. I didn't hang around after the second battery boost to find out if the guy was pissed off.

If you graduated in 1977, that means you were born around 1955, making you 60 years old. Calling yourself middle aged is a tad optimistic.

And this comment makes you just a tad disrespectful.

Graduated in 81 and we went through it with Cholly Mac. Charles Alexander was an amazing back but we didn't have the passing attack to open it up for him like BH6 does for LF7.

GEAUX TIGERS! We have been fans longer than most on this board have been alive. Because we remember those days, we tend to pump sunshine.

THIS team is a special combination of character and talent. Not only are they undefeated, but they have not made the papers for all the wrong reasons. No assault charges, no synthetic pot, no attempted murder, etc. etc. etc.

This is our year! And GEAUX LSU GRADS in their middle and late middle years. Love purple and LIVE GOLD A REALLY LONG TIME!!! :nana

Graduated LSU in '91. Middle-agedness is all up in my business.

I would say middle aged is 40 to 65 at the most

I have been to each Bama home game since 1995 with the exception of 2012. I was also there in the Dome on 010912.

There is no more soul crushing, life touchstone, mile-marking event for me as a sports fan than experiencing the LSU Defense finally crumble and allow a touchdown to Trent Richardson and the Crimson Tide.

I can appreciate older Tiger Fans whose memories and experiences reach back further in time than mine. But make no mistake...there is no comparison for me to the shell-shocked feeling of walking out of the Super Dome with my Father and getting on the Canal Street Trolley to go back to his truck and make that drive back home.

I have been in fights as a child, and high school and a few as a young adult. But no punch ever landed has compared to the aforementioned soul crushing weight of that loss for me as an LSU Fan.

I'm not sure anything ever will.

I was thinking the same as I am 47 and was thinking I don't qualify for this middle age stuff anymore as I am too old

I was raised by a man with an irrational hatred of the University of Alabama football team. It is family policy to not spend any money in Alabama - when we travel across the state we stop only at rest stops and leave little presents for them.

It's personal.

You don't have to tell me, baw. It's a hatred like I hate them from the old neighborhood.

The US Census lists the category middle age around 45 to 64, while prominent psychologist Erik Erikson saw it ending a little later and defines middle adulthood as between 40 and 65. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the standard diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association, used to define middle age as 40–60, but as of Edition IV (1994) revised the definition upwards to 45–65.

And for the record, you are a douche bag.
