Freshman year 2004, drank wild turkey 101 in Kirby Smith, somehow made it to the opener for Oregon State. Had a bad arse time but it was a complete blur because I was beyond gone even before kick off. My roommate was from St Martinville and they are some crazy asses.

Moved to BR in August of 1992. Andrew hit 8/26/92. LSU played aTm on 9/5/92. Hottest game I experienced in tiger stadium. Tigers lost. Hallman years sucked.

I was there unfortunately. My first game was 1977 v. Rice, LSU wins 77-0. Got spoiled.

Absolutely - I was about ten years old - in '47 or '48. My brother was a student then and got the whole family to come down for a game. He was telling me about Y. A. Tittle but when the game began the loud speakers were talking about one of the North Carolina players = "Choo Choo Justice" - and that was the name I remember coming away from the game with.

Being a young kid right out of rural Vernon Parish, the whole layout was a wonder to me beyond anything I could have imagined. The stadium alone was a wonder to me - When my brother first told me that was where they played the game - I thought he meant they would be playing on the "roof" and wondered what they'd do if the ball fell off. Saw the original Mike the Tiger - have been a huge fan ever since - One of my granddaughters also went there and was a Golden Girl.

Yes. It was against Florida St. LSU walloped them and the fans threw oranges all over the field.

1982. 24-24 tie against Tennessee. Willie Gault ran a kickoff back for a TD. He was drafted by the bears and I am pretty sure that is why I have always hated the bears.

Arkansas in 1995. Won 28-0.I was 8 years old. Second to last row in the old Upper West. Was amazed at the amount of people there.

Second was 1996 against Vandy. The gold out game. LSU won 35-0.

A fluke that my first 2 games were shutouts.

Started going more regularly in 1997. Losses soon came into play :(

Was there in the South EZ. Didn’t like Emmitt Smith with Florida then and even more so with the Cowgirls.
