Yes, I am old.

For me 1974 Ole Miss 24-0 God Bless Robert Dow and Rusty Jackson, 1999 SJSU and Houston and 2024 Nichols. Note- "Official" 1974 50 year celebration was versus Tulane, not sure about 1999, anyone know? This year celebration is Ole Miss-and God willing I will be there.

125 may be a reach for me, but I will say this, it has been a GLORIOUS time, never thoughts I would see 3 National Championships, and so many great memories. If you are old enough to recall 1981-2000 up through UAB, you truly appreciate what LSU has done.

Indeed.
The Arnsparger years were great. Aside from that and Stovall and Archer's first seasons, along with DiNardo's first 2.5, those were some lean years.
The early 90's and late 90's teams were bad.
It's a shame, because those late 90's teams were talented.

99 was a terrible year. The only time in my life we had tickets and I just didn’t want to go… Houston game.

My first game in Tiger Stadium was as an eight-year-old kid in 1949.

I wish! That's pretty cool. I'd consider myself pretty fortunate to be able to spend that much time there.

Sorry for the late reply. I never had the pleasure of attending any of the NC games in person.

I feel for you, 0-14 at Tulane and after starting 9, lost last 3 to finish 9-3, was the beginning of the long end for Charlie Mac- losing records in 74, began a streak with two non wining records and then 4 years of no better than 8-4 and bye bye CM.

Damn, missed it by a year. My first ever game was in 1975 against the Aggies. I was 7 and a guy behind me broke my pennant stick when I wouldn't stop being a little shite and waving it in front of him. My Uncle Donny (not real Uncle but barroom friends with my Dad kind of Uncle) took me to the game and was ready to throw hands but peace was made over the sharing of a flask. The struggle was real.

Carl Otis Trimble (RIP) was my first LSU hero.

not sure there was a celebration other than people running up and down the aisles yelling stop the construction as the east upper was being built during that miserable season.
