$35 Tigervision was available, but nobody I knew paid that.

I have been going to the games since 1966.
I was at Mac’s Tangerine Bowl as well as the 79 USC game.
Back then we used to listen to the away games on WWL because only a handful of games were on television.

John Ferguson and Walter Hill on WWL radio. My daddy would pour a glass of Ancient Age whiskey and we’d listen to every play. John used to start every broadcast with “ the tigers are wearing gold headgear, white jerseys and gold pants then describe the opponents colors.

If you could not watch you listened and I still do to this day.

I remember sitting on the back porch with my Papa listening to games. The only light was from the embers of his cigarette. It seems only 3-4 were televised, so we listened a lot. Same with baseball regionals in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I often sit and listen to the broadcast out of nostalgia and sometimes superstition if things are going well.
