re: LSU fan origin.

born that way

All my life since I was able to watch TV. Went to LSU & had family play for them. Try living in Bama the last 38 years.

About 1960, (I know, I'm an OLE FART at 65), my Dad's youngest brother who happens to only be 9 years older than me, would have me and my younger brother over at My grandmother's house to listen to LSU games on the radio. Reception was not always good but the three of us would be laid out on the floor around that radio , listening. Unc had been to a game or 2 and would describe the atmosphere.
From earliest memory, I have been a Tiger fan as to us that was the state school and the BEST!, but those games and my uncle and that radio forged a lifelong love for LSU. Then in '69 when I went to my first game.....well, y'all know!
I know this is not the first time I have related this, but you asked!

Born an lsu fan

I was born into a family of diehard LSU fans so been one since 1960, the year I was born.

Tried and true here. When i first opened my eyes in this world it was in Womens Hospital in Baton Rouge. Some of my first memories as a toddler were my PawPaw yelling at the stadium club attendants to let me. My dad was a 3L ball player for LSU from 71-75. My pawpaw was part of the first 100 to establish TAF and is still in top 150 in donations. Season ticket holders since the 50's. It's in meblood.

My dad, from Mobile, played for Auburn as a freshman in 57, and transferred to LC in Pineville where he met my Mom who had been attending USL (SLI at the time). As I was coming up (70s), for whatever reason, my dad was a Bear fan and loved Alabama. He always said he hated LSU because when he played at LC, fans listened to the LSU game in the stands. Later on (80s) mom went back to school and graduated from LC and went to LSU for her post grad. My oldest sister went to LSU and my other sister graduated from Mobile College (now Mobile University). My younger brother grew up a Bammer, I think mostly because of my dad and I was an LSU fan from day 1. We had many a fist fight over the game through the years. He attended USA and I attended USL, but have been and always will be a tiger. My post grad degree was from ULL as well. Now I live and work in Alabama and am surrounded by bammers daily. I keep the faith and fly my colors. My brother and I arent very close mainly because he's a crazy gump. His boys are warped like him. He did marry an Aubie so, lol. My brother in law (wife's youngest brother) graduated from LSU in 2003 and he and I are way closer.

Out-of-stater here, from NC. No family ties or childhood fandom to speak of. My grandmother was born in Louisiana, and that was about all I had to do with the state growing up. The first LSU sporting event I attended was the 2009 NCAA basketball tournament in Greensboro. I eventually became a student at LSU, and I've been hooked ever since.

Both my grandpa and my dad went to Grad or Law school at LSU. I was raised a Tiger and born in Shreveport, but what reeled me in to LSU football was Eddie Kennison's kickoff return vs Nick Saban's Michigan St. during the 1995 Independence Bowl. I was 5 years old when my dad took my brother and I to that game.
