Listening to games on the radio and the occasional game on tv in the early/mid eighties with my dad and grandfather. Remembering their passion and listening to those games bring back so many fond memories.

Blue grass miracle. I grew up watching NFL only because that's all my dad watched back then. By junior year of HS I knew I was going to LSU. Watched that Kentucky game with some friends and was hooked.

Moving into North Tiger Stadium dorm Fall '83. Mike IV across the street - about 120 yards away, roaring every night.

1957 listening to the radio in our car in the driveway in Arkansas. Dad was stationed there in the Navy. He loved Jimmy Taylor.
Next year, we moved back to La. Dad took three of his boys to home games for the championship in 1958.
Dad had played in the LSU band in his day, so stories of YA Tittle, Kenny Konz, and Gaynell Tinsley were common.
I feel blessed to have experienced 1958, 2003, 2007, and the greatest of all time 2019.
Good Times

My family used to be in a hunting club in the early ‘70sI have fond memories of the first time I got to go to the camp with the “men”. The memory that stands out the most is sitting around the camp fire listening to the LSU game on an AM truck radio. I got to taste a sip of jack and coke that night! Now all of those family members are gone....and I am still a Tiger fan.

USC 17 LSU 12. I was a 10 year old Boy Scout Usher attending my first game. My 2 biggest takeaways from the game were (1) Tiger Stadium was loud as hell and (2) women didn't wear bras. Been hooked ever since.

LSU vs Florida State. The night it rained oranges in Tiger Stadium.
Was there!
The one that ended it for my wife was Aub vs LSU in the monsoon with Hill, Beckham, Landry, etc... Since then I have an all day yard pass on Saturdays at TS! She is still a Tiger Fan but does not do games at the stadium anymore.

My first memory of an LSU game was watching the January 1, 1966 Cotton Bowl on TV. I started going to the games the next season.

Listening to games on a transistor radio while Mom ironed. Late 50’s.

1986 11 years old aunt and uncle took me to the North Carolina game and then watched the end of the ALCS between the Angels and Red Sox in the parking lot. They bought me a jersey and football and I was hooked!

1958 LSU vs Hardin-Simmons. Tigers won 20-6. I went to four games that year including the first sell-out in Tiger Stadium history against Ole Miss that same year. We beat the Rebels 14-0

82 Vs FSU. The Orange game. The fog, the beat down, the oranges raining on the field.

For me, 5 years old at The Earthquake game.
After that-it was ALL LSU, ALL THE TIME.

Laying on the floor of my Grandfather’s living room watching LSU on a grainy TV. Had to be 1980 or 1981.

I was 8 years old in 1958. We beat Miami. Was Broadhead the QB on that team for Miami?
Posted on 9/20/20 at 8:20 pm to RaginRed
I believe it was 1975 LSU Wyoming game I was taken to by my dad...
Posted on 9/20/20 at 8:21 pm to doc24
Broadhead played for Duke. I think we beat them 50-8. Billy caught a long td pass down the middle.

Old Alex box sitting behind home plate with my dad and I called an Eddy Furniss grand slam when he was walking up to the plate. I was 6 or 7 but I can vividly remember where I was and watching the ball fly towards tiger stadium.
Also loved hearing tiger stadium from my backyard growing up.

I had a Booty jersey when I was a kid but I didn’t really care about football at all.
In 03 I was 13 and my grandma was having surgery in Shreveport. My mom was at the hospital and left me in the hotel room. I watched that national championship game because I was bored and I’ve watched or listened to every game since.
Also JC Holt tossed me a ball when I was 11 or 12 at my first LSU sporting event. That was big deal for a young cotton
