Actually, LSU has had a national presence for a long time thanks to WWL broadcast of it's games on Saturday nights. Much of the country received this signal and many became LSU fans who listened in before the age of every game being televised.

I listened in Akron, OH growing up. Although, I was already a fan after having been born in BR and attending games from age 1 thru 6 before moving to Ohio.

Also having the most prolific offense in college history and going undefeated helped as well.

And last the leadership by Joe and others created a brotherhood and chemistry like no other with a will to win.
