1958 against Duke. Only thing I remember about the game was Cannon catching a 60 yard pass from Rabb. I think LSU won 50-7 or close to that. From then on and most of the 59 season I didn't think there was any college team even close to being as good as the Tigers.

Virginia Tech in 2007 a few months after the shooting. Atmosphere was unreal.

November of 1966..... LSU 17- Mississippi St. 7
I was 7 years old, my Dad took me, we sat in the South end zone, 8 rows up..
Two things I remember, LSU end Billy Masters caught a TD pass in front of us and.... those damn Miss St. COWBELLS.
Even at 7 years old I thought the cowbells were annoying.

Sam Houston State in 2014. First home game of my Freshman year. Leonard Fournette does the heisman pose after scoring his first touchdown.

I went to a lot of games when I was a kid because my grandfather was a long time season ticket holder, but the first one I really remember was ‘97 Florida. I think I was hooked after that. 
It’s odd, but one of the memories that has always stuck with me is that we always walked by the airplane, then through the tunnel between the ChE building and the cogen facility, on the way into (and out of) the games. For some reason I vividly remember the steam from the cogen under those orange sodium lamps. It’s funny how those kinds of random details get imprinted into your memory.
Years later as a ChE alum, it chokes me up a little bit whenever I take that route to the stadium.. thinking about my grandfather and the significance of it all.

1964, 4 years old. I remember peeing while looking at the field through the fence.
FWIW, I was named after Billy Cannon

1982 age 6. Tulane. The last time they won the Battle of the Rag. Lower bowl, right next to the student section. Learned the word fudge… except I didn’t say fudge— from a certain anti-Tulane chant from the student section.

1966 - In its first year in existence South Lafourche played Broadmoor for the state AAA title. Week before South Lafourche beat Jesuit in the semis in Tulane stadium. Tarpons are the ONLY high school to ever play in both stadiums in the same season.

First? Carlos Carson... LSU vs Rice. 77 to 0. My dad gottired of standing up when we scored.
My favorite childhoodmemory, cheap tickets to a Tulane game... Lower South endzone... Up under the overhang... Crappy seats, until it started pouring down.

Freshman in 86' - aTm and have been hooked since.
Honestly, had always played but didn't pay too much attention until then.

Yep, that’s the one. Thanks.

1959 I was 15. Saw Cannon and others beat a Southwest Conference team. Bought a 1958 LSU National Champions pennant. My grandson who is an LSU student has it.

Night game vs Kentucky
Bert Jones' senior year, a 10-0 Tiger victory.
Dad was a UK alum like Cholly Mac, we were walking the sideline courtesy of him.
The LSU hook was set in me that night.

2007 la tech. My four old son loved the tigers. He was diagnosed with duchene muscular dystrophy at age three. He asked about going to a game one night when we was watching it on tv. I said sure why not. I got some tickets from a friend. When we walked out to the lower bowl from the entrance it looked like he was looking at heaven in his eyes. We applied for season tickets that year and got them for the 2008 season. We never missed a game and he would not leave until the team left the field. We went to at least one away game a year and all the bowl games. He has seen his tigers win two national championships and two SEC championships in person. We had to let out tickets go in 2019 because he just can not take the long drives from north Louisiana anymore. We have been to so many games and there is two that sticks out in my head and it was la tech the first time he saw the stadium and the second was apalation State when we drove down for a 10 am kickoff when everyone else was headed north. He was not going to miss the game no matter what.
