re: How many on td have been to every LSU football game

I've been to every home game since ole miss in 2002.

Went to every game in '99 season, DiNardo's swan song. What a disaster that was. Enjoyed seeing the stadiums but we lost every road game.

UF and Auburn take the cake inside the gates.

Bama and UGA for gameday environment

Auburn is vastly underrated when they are good.... Gets louder in there than Bama.

I think Kentucky is the best trip with Keeneland and bourbon tours.

:kige:

probably 5 of the last 10 years...something else always happens to break the streak.

Wow. I remember listening to the lsu games with my dad with Hillard and James in the backfield and Jeff wickersham as the qb. I actually got really interested in 86 and remember watching the lsu Ohio state game on tv I believe. Was a hardcore fan in 1988. I remember sitting in the car with my dad after a dance at school and hearing tiger stadium roar after hodson threw the td to Eddie fuller against auburn.

Years ago preceeding Jim Hawthorne, was John Ferguson. I'm not putting down on Jim, I enjoy his calls. You just have to not hang on every word as the play unfolds. Action is fast and so much is happening, I cut him some slack. But I use to love hearing John Ferguson Maybe because he was the first voice i remember as a kid. J.C. Politz preceeded him during my time, but I just don't remember him much. But John just prior to away game kickoffs would describe the scene to the point of telling the listeners things like. "The Gators are dressed in white pants, blue jerseys, and orange headgear. The tigers gold pants, white jerseys, and gold headgear. When he would call the games it use to bother me when I was a young kid that he called the game with the same excitement for both teams. If just say the Gators scored, he would call it in the same tone of voice as when the Tigers scored. I use to think that he should show some remorse when the opponent scored. Silly but I was a kid. I just enjoyed listening to his voice, because when I heard it, I always associated it with LSU Football. It's not the same for kids so much anymore. Prices are so that a dad can hardly bring his kids to games like when I was young. High School and younger tickets were $1. My dads tickets were $3. There were few games on TV, and very seldom was LSU. The radio WAS the game when the Tigers were away. We'd all sit there watching the radio, watching the game play out in our heads. It was a great time.

Yea old John Fergerson and Walter Hill will always be the voices of the LSU Tigers to me.
