re: How many fans of the Rant are 60 or over?

I remember the incredible defenses of the late 60's and early 70's....George Bevan an incredibly undersized LB whose motor was always running.

Lived in Hatcher Hall in 1960, worked in Bakers Restaurant (where Chimes is now) for meals, tips and a little pay. Didn’t get home to N O often but when I did, I met my ride back to LSU at the brand new Lakeside Shopping Center. Besides my 4 kids, 3 grandkids graduated and 3 are there now. I’m 76 and plan on living forever, so far so good.

I remember! Hardly any TV back then. Huddled around the radio with family listening to John Ferguson & Walter Hill. Amazing times.

64 & still bleeding P&G!

I'm 78

Beat you there by 1 year. The fall of my first semester at LSU was in 1957. I was fortunate to see from the student section Jimmy Taylor play his senior season for LSU. His forte was running with the football and seeking out defenders to run over. The most vivid moment that is burned in my memory from watching him that season occurred during the home game with Georgia Tech. Taylor had broken clear on the left side and was heading toward the North end zone. I was in the lower student section near the sideline where he was running. A GT linebacker or safety attempted to make the open field tackle by hitting Taylor thigh high.
The end result was the defender being knocked unconscious and Jimmy continuing on his way.
The core for the 1958 NC team were sophomores that year. Cannon, Robinson, Fugler, Rabb, etc., and their talent was very evident, but Jimmy Taylor was THE MAN. That season ended with the uneventful record of 5-5-0. One amazing thing about the ’57 team is that two of its players later became enshrined into the NFL Hall of Fame (Jimmy Taylor and Johnny Robinson). From my time starting in 1957 until the present, many great players have contributed to the tradition of LSU football. Too many to mention. Today we are witnessing a QB who is putting up unbelievable numbers, leading the Tigers by showing intelligence and toughness on the playing field and running an offense that could only be imagined in our minds before this season. Hopefully the Tigers can continue on to reach their ultimate goal.
Would be a great present for my 80th birthday which comes early next month.
Geaux Tigers.

The stadium dorms where where the "wild and crazy" guys lived.

Hooked on the Tigers since listening to Billy Ezell rally the Tigers for TD and 2 point conversion to beat OM in 1964.

I'm 77, lived in the North Stadium and remember such greats as Stovall, Winston, Miller and Gaubatz. I took a life saving course at the old H.Long Fieldhouse pool. It was am 8 AM class, spring semester class.
