re: How many poster on here attended an LSU football game before 2000?

My first game was around 1991.

My first game was 1956, my freshman year at LSU. Texas A&M 9 - LSU 6. Besides having a shaved head, freshman students wore pajamas to the first game. My picture is in the yearbook. I'm wearing a necktie to go with my pajamas and freshman beanie cap.

First one in '68

I remember the two point conversion against Ole Miss in the early 60s?

My first favorite player was Andy Hamilton. My first days was listening to John Ferguson on the radio. Players like John Wood, Eddie Ray. Tommy Cantrell, Tommy Casanova, Bevan, Anderson, and on and on.

1981 LSU v Auburn

My perspective led me to want and demand our program be what we should be, consistent winners. In my mind, consistent is a record of 8-4 on a down year and to compete for the SEC championship at least every three to four years. That's not mediocrity, its reality, for everyone in the long term of a program. This is especially true in our conference, which is loaded with schools with great tradition,talent bases, resources, and coaches.

I was in the student section for the Dinardo years.

My first game was in the late '70s. Was a youngster back then.

I still think Coach Miles is the best man for the job and until he has more then two LOSING seasons I will continue to believe that.

More than two losing seasons? Are you fricking kidding? LSU should practically never have a losing season, let alone more than two.

We generally play at least six or seven games a year against teams that just don't have the resources to be able to compete against a team like LSU. Generally, our OOC schedule is composed of this type of team, with few exceptions. So, we should basically never do any worse than 3-1 outside the conference.

In conference play, we have Mississippi State and Ole Miss every year, and either Vandy, Kentucky or South Carolina from the east every year. We should rarely lose to these teams and should almost never lose to two of them in the same year, so that's three games a year in which we should basically never be worse than 2-1.

That leaves us at no worse than 5-2 with five games to play against teams with resources comparable to ours. In our worst years, we should at least be able to win one of those games, which gets us to 6 wins at a minimum in a year when everything goes wrong that could possibly go wrong.

That worst-case scenario should happen only very rarely, and even in those rare instances when it does, it should still only mean a 6-6 or 7-5 season, but practically never a losing season. And you would excuse not only one, but two losing seasons? That is ridiculous.

Saw my first game in Tiger Stadium in '48 or '49.
