Grew up near Broadway and Claiborne; my Dad owned a drugstore on that corner. I could here the lions roaring from Audubon Park when the wind was coming off the river. I'm going back to the late 40s, early 50s when my neighbor gang of buddies was playing football, baseball on the neutral grounds, dodging streetcars. This was before "helicopter moms". Ride our bikes to Mr. Williams Snow Ball stand on Plum before going to the movies at the Popular Theater on Willow. Good Times.

My dad lived in the dorms in the stadium too. He’s 10 years older than you. It always made me laugh to think of my dad living in the stadium.

First game was Ole Miss Halloween night, Cannon ran right in front of us. I've seen most of the big games in Tiger Stadium.

Hi Bandit 58. Member that '58 season? One of our victories was Hardin-Simmons! Finished the season at the old Tulane stadium against Clemson. What a year to start school - 10 and 0! Amazing I graduated, got a job, stayed gainfully employed, stayed out of jail and eventually owned my own business. I owe a lot of that to Jesuit High in New Orleans. That background kept my grade point average in the Bs until I was a Senior and "saw the light." I began to study and realized what it was to be in college besides partying. Great years punctuated with great football memories and great friends I met there during my six years on campus. Loved every minute of my time at LSU.

Moved to NOLA & BTR when I was 19 years old (1976), and became a big Tiger fan.
But now I live in Virginia & Florida and am a much bigger fan than ever...

Tommy Casanova was my favorite player at LSU as a kid.

Religiously read The Louisiana Gridweek paper as a kid in the 60's. Rode my bike to the Time Saver to pick it up

Up in this. Remember watching the Cholly Mac show Sundays at 10:30pm. Burger King was one of his sponsors. He used to tell his receivers to think of the ball as a whopper and bring it in. Good coach just couldn't beat the Bear.
