Oregon State 2004 was mine. I was 14 years old and I’ve been hooked ever since.

In utero for LSU - Ole miss Halloween night1959. Remember it just like it was yesterday. Wore my birthday suit for Halloween.
First post birth game was against 1968 Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium. Dam Archie led Ole Miss in a comeback to beat us 27-24 I think.
I hate Ole Miss and almost went to school there. I had a love hate relationship with Archie ( Ole Miss hate) and( Saints love).

In the stadium in utero. Don’t remember my “first” game.
First game I actually remember was Ohio State 1987.

The first game I can remember was against Alabama at Leagion Stadium in Birmingham with the Bear coaching. We had Charlie Mac. We only crossed the 50 yard line twice. One Bama fan looked at me and said, “ at least our Golden Girls were better looking than the bama girls”. I think I was in Jr High in Montgomery, Al. That was the first year we got bussed to Georgia Washington Jr. High in Mount Megs ( 8 to 12 mile bus ride from our house). Yep, I’m old too ! ??

That was indeed one of many thrillers for a season lid lifter. I can remember some of the victory in the rain over Oregon State, I think.
But as far as the first LSU game I attended, it was a heartbreaking loss in which the Aggies (in those days) won a rare victory over the Tigers, on that long pass in the final 30 seconds or minute of the game.
The second game was much better and to me, one of the classics. A Saturday afternoon game--LSU 21, Auburn 20. The blocked extra point secured victory, but there were many other exciting plays. There was the halfback pass for a touchdown and the thrill of seeing the strong Tiger defense making many big plays to edge Auburn and its outstanding QB, Pat Sullivan.

TP: forgot about the "pig pot".
FYI for those who weren't there, freshman orientation for the guys was run by the ROTC. On Thursday night, we were to go into Tiger Stadium & have a pep rally with the football team present.
Before we marched into the stadium the freshman companies opened ranks & the freshman girls marched in between the ranks & matched up with the boys. She was your "date" for the event & you had the responsibility to get her back to her dorm that night...it was a different time back then & we did what we were told.
The winner of the pig pot in my company eventually married his "date" & from the last I heard, they lived happily ever after.
Could talk about those days forever...next time we will tell you about the "Ole Miss" riots!

That game at Independence stadium may have been my first Lsu game as well. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I’m really not sure. I know I had started watching them on TV regularly by then. My buddy Jonathan and I were students at Lsu-S and he and I started going down to Baton Rouge a couple of times a year and watching games. They would let you in the student section with an Lsu-s student ID. Back then in 94 and 95 students would walk around holding up their paper tickets and sell them for five or $10 apiece.
We would buy a couple and head on in

1972 vs Aggies…. east side line… very little memory of it….

My first game was LSU and Tulane, Nov 25, 1961. A beautiful day and witnessed an ole fashion beat down with my Dad, Mother, two brothers and a sister. We were dressed for Sunday services and sat in the south end zone.
My dad coached in north Louisiana after graduating from LSU. My uncle taught real estate law at LSU. Back then coaches could attend with their coaching card. The train ride from Shreveport to Baton Rouge, staying with my uncle and walking to the games. This thread has generated many fond memories.

LSU - Tulane 1958. LSU led 6-0 at halftime. Final score 62-0. I went with my mother because my father had to work. I was eleven years old.

1970 LSU 61 Ole Piss 17. Thought I was in Heaven. Listened to the Tigers on WWL with my parents and siblings since I was 4 so this was quite a memory. We watched the LSU highlights every Sunday after church. I thought everyone did. LOL

First on campus was Miss State in 2000. Earlier in the day I remember watching Jared Lorenzon throw for like 500 yards against Georgia. Was also the day after I got my driver's license
