re: First Game in Tiger Stadium Memories

vs aTm 1971, eight yrs old. My Dad, Mom, three older brothers on my birthday. If I recall correctly Andy Hamilton found the endzone several times in a big Tiger win. Remember the smell of hot dogs, bourbon, and pipesmokers. Many people still wore a jacket and tie to the games. Felt like the luckiest kid in the world. Before that night it was the same crew and John Ferguson on the radio every Sat night since I was like five. That night took my love for the Tigers to a whole new level.

LSU 7 Georgia Tech 6

1963

Went with my brother. That made it memorable enough for me. I can't even remember who they played. I know we sat in the south endzone. I think it was some team from the WAC.

First game: 9/23 1978 LSU 13 Wake Forest 11

31 to 21 loss to Cliff Branch and Colorado in 1971

Wow,this was actually my 2nd game,USC 1979.Went to my first game the previous home game.I couldn't tell you who we played or what happened.That USC game was a game that will not be topped.Even being 14 at the time I knew that was an incredible game.

my first game was also the bama 2002 game

2003 UGA.

We could steal kids away from Harvard if everyone got that as their first experience at LSU.

It was the season opener in 68 i think and LSU lead Texas A&M 18-13 with seconds left. The Aggies scored on about a 60 or 70 yd pass play in the final moments to win 20-18. The south end zone was a sea of cadet kahki and went crazy.
A&M didnt win another game that year.

Mine was in 2004 right after the Championship season vs Oregon State. It came a monsoon minutes before kickoff, and people started streaking on the field. We won the game in overtime because of missed extra points from OSU's kicker, who was perfect every game after that. It was also Jamarcus' TD run late that brought us back to win. Derek Anderson played tough all night. Great game, and great atmosphere despite the rain and close game.
