1964 Ole Miss We won 11-10. I asked my Dad at the time why he took me to that game and he said because it was a great rivalry.

My first game in Tiger Stadium was Ole Miss 1970 - Archie Manning played with a cast on his left arm. He got knocked out of the game in the third quarter by Tommy Casanova and left to a thunderous chorus of "We Want Archie" from the LSU Fans. Best of all was the final score - LSU 61 Ole Miss 17.

my 1st game that I got to actually watch as a fan and not with the cub/boyscouts was in '60 against the Deacon Demons ... Tigers won 16-0. Also, got to see the first 62-0 whippin put on the greenies in the old Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, that was really fun.

LSU/Akron in 1997. We were up like 42-0 at half and ended up winning like fifty-something to 0. Cecil the Diesil Collins went off, had like a 70 yard TD run. Never will forget it.

LSU-Florida 97. I remember I was in middle school and got to sit in the student section. I rushed the field, soaking wet with soda, and patted the players' backs. One of the top two or three moments of my life.

The first games I remember were the arse whooping against Miami in the late 80's and the Earthquake game.

Auburn, Homecoming 1969. The first play of the game, Mike Hillman pitched to Buddy Gilbert, who threw a halfback pass to Andy Hamilton for a 62 yard touchdown. Pat Sullivan, Auburn's Heisman Tropy winner led Auburn to a 14-7 lead. LSU went ahead 21-14 in the second half, but LSU's 2 All American linebackers pulled out a couple of miracles to win the game. Mike Anderson blocked a field goal attempt, and when Auburn scored to make it 21-20 in the final period, George Bevan blocked the extra point to preserve a 21-20 LSU victory.

Not bad for a first game in Death Valley!!

Florida State ,opening game 1980. Rained that afternoon and the humidity made it feel like 200 degrees. Florida State kicked off out of the endzone and on the first play Risher and Hokie Gajan ran into each other and fumbled and Fla State took over and methodically won 16-0.

First game and first play I saw :

my first game in TS was a win against Colorado to open the season in 1974. LSU won big but the thing I remeber most is a drunk CU fan who kept yelling, "Go Bison" with a reall bad "yankee" accent. My brothers and I drove my dad crazy saying it to each other all the way home and for weeks after that.
My first LSU game was a win in Jackson against Ole Miss in 1971. I was a Boy Scout ushering the LSU vs. Ole Miss/Alabama vs. MSU double header. LSU won and so did the Tide. Johnny Musso was the man. He was an offensive version of Dick Butkus just running over people.
My first game as a student was the 77-0 Rice win in 1977. Carlos Carson caught five passes and scored five touchdowns.

Kentucky 1981 sat in the South Endzone under the over hang. That was when there was free parking in the grass next to Bernie Moore and you play in the track stadium.

My first game was the Georgia game in 2003. I remember the Skyler Green catch like it was yesterday. Since then I have been hooked.

Been a fan forever, but the first time in Tiger Stadium was in 2005 vs the gators. Les Miles first season. We were on the east side, 5 rows from the top.

I remember I was the designated driver (don't drink) and everyone wanted to leave at halftime. I told them that this was my first time in the stadium and I had the keys. If they wanted to leave, they could start the walk back to Metairie, and I'd pick them up along the way.

I went to a couple games in 2006 and 2007, and last year I think I missed 2 home games. I had primo seats for last year. 10 yard line, 10 rows up, visitor side. Loved these seats.
