Cannot remember the specific date or game. Was twelve years old selling cups of Coca Cola in the student section for 25 cents each (yes, it was over 35 years ago). Would watch the game between sales. I remember we were doing well and towards the end a drunk student (redundant, I know) gave me $25 for my whole tray (which was worth $5).

Good game.

I started going to every home game when I was five in '96, I hardly remember that season though, and the next season I mostly just remember going to the Florida game. I do think I went to a couple of games before '96 I just don't really remember. The first season I remember actually being at every single game would be '98, unfortunately. I remember even as a kid being very upset that I had to see them lose so much that season.

So the first game I remember going to is Houston in '96, but again I went to a couple of games before that, I just can't remember going to games at 3 or 4 years old (which is strange because I have lots of memories from 2 and even earlier, but oh well).

1995 vs North Texas. I think I was 9 years old. I remember being totally blown away by noise and spectacle of everything. Up until that point I'd see LSU on TV, usually getting beat. Being in the stadium, in that incredible environment, i was hooked for life.

1986, LSU - Notre Dame. Great game. If I remember right Tim Brown return a punt for a td. Then we returned the kickoff back for a td. A south endzone four down stand late in the game to hold on for a LSU victory.

It was 1963 during the Charlie Mac era. Don't remember the opponent. I just remember being in awe at the paintings in the old history department hallway depicting workers and industrialization in Louisiana. I was freaked out by that. We had to walk through the building every time on our way to the stadium. Ended up at LSU as undergrad with those memories burned in my psyche.

Playing Rice in early 60's with labruzzo returning punts all night

Remember dad buying me pixiestix on the ferry in donaldsonville and the color of the field all painted

Thought Rice was so cool for a team name....lol

Think I was 5 or 6 at the time and being amazed that the guy on the field (Labruzzo) was someone I knew
