19 years old after they won the 2003 championship, I hopped on the bandwagon and it’s been a hell of a ride.

2 years after coming from Cuba to LA. 1963

But it was in 1966 .. that became the greatest.
Listening to the Cotton Bowl on the radio.

Grew up listening to the Saints and LSU on the radio. I wouldn't remember the precise moment.

My very first LSU game when they played Tennessee at Tiger Stadium, I was 12. What an amazing first game to go to and I will always remember it!!

Grew up in Notre Dame household during days of only 3 tv channel choices. Lived in La my entire life yet knew nothing about LSU since only went to ND games and only watched ND on tv. In early 80’s went to watch Notre Dame play at LSU. Walked into stadium just before kickoff to a full stadium under a perfect blue sky. I could see the crowd scream at other end before the sound traveled across field to hear it. I was blown away. I truly walked in a ND fan and walked out a LSU fan. I wouldn’t spit on ND if they were on fire. I blame family for brainwashing me as a child. Luckily I escaped.

Watching Rohan Davey in 2001. That’s when I started playing football in high school.

One does not become a LSU fan. One is born a fan. It’s the blood of the Heartbeat

In a family of Alabama and Clemson fans. I chose wisely at 8 years old after the Earthquake.

For me, it was as an 8 year old boy growing up here in the DFW are. We were listening to the LSU-Ole Miss game back in 72 on WWL radio (back when WWL went long range). I still remember the call of Bert Jones to Brad Davis for the game winner. I didn't really know what LSU was all about but I knew (at that moment) it was something special. And have been a fan ever since through the good times and the bad (and there have been LOTS of both)
