1st home game - October 1, 1966 vs. Miami.

1st road game - 1966 vs. Tulane in New Orleans, but because that was just a few minutes from my house, I will say that my 1sr real road trip was 1968 vs. Rice in Houston.

1st neutral site game -
1976 Ole Miss in Jackson but that may not count because it is probably considered an Ole Miss home game.
I had a ticket to the January 1, 1968 Sugar Bowl vs. Wyoming, but my parents wouldn't let me go because I was sick in bed with the flu and fever and the weather was cold and rainy.

Therefore, my 1st neutral site game was the 1978 Liberty Bowl in Memphis vs. Missouri.

1995 - 2001 Drove from Marietta, GA to BTR for every home game.

Drove BTR to Tucson when we played there 03? 04?

2002 Drove Baton Rouge to Blacksburg, VA via Marietta because I still had my house and didn't have to pay for hotel.

I’m in my 50’s.

My first home game was in the 73 season- vs Kentucky. I remember my Dad telling me we would get to see Sonny Collin’s of Kentucky play and I thought he was a superhero.

My first away game was in Jackson in the 77 season ( down 21-0 at halftime to Ole Miss , LSU came back and won 28-21 behind Steve Ensminger) . My Dad flew us there in his Cessna and we caught a cab and we got let out on the road and had to cross heavy traffic and under an overpass. I have these little images of that day.

Neutral/ Bowl- 1984 Sugar Bowl. My freshman year at LSU .I can remember waiting overnight in line around the stadium and the students who lived in the dorm yelling at us to shut up all night.

I think my first game was in 83 against Florida State. Jeff Wickersham let me down that game.

First road game was Ole Miss when we used to play in Jackson the same year. Wick let me down again.

First bowl game was the Liberty Bowl in 85. Wick completed the trifecta for me.

I still don't know why Mickey Guidry didn't start.

1975 LSU Bama - I just turned 6 and moved to BR after my parents divorced. My grandfather took me to this game. He was teaching me football during the game. I’ve been a diehard ever since. I’ve also hated Bama since. We still sit in the same seats that we’ve had in the family since the mid 60s.

First road game was 87 tamu. 17-3 victory

First “neutral” site game was 95 Indy bowl.

First home games were 1964. My Dad ran the concession stand for Coca-Cola. My job was to pull the bottles out of the ice tub, open them and place on the counter. Later, I ushered as a boy scout.

Away Game, LSU - Rice, 1978

Bowl Neutral - Sugar, 1985

In 1985 I was able to attend every game … home, away and bowl. Good times.
