re: Pre-Internet: Did your dad subscribe to Tiger Rag?

My dad didn't care for sports outside of boxing but my oldest sister's first husband played baseball for LSU back in the '70s and I became a sports fan entirely due to his influence. TigerRag and Tigervision FTW.

The SEC previews would come out in late June or early July if I remember correctly. I would always get excited when I saw those mags hit the racks because I knew football was right around the corner.

I loved Tiger Rag. When I was in college in Texas, my mom would mail me a copy of TR and a check for 25 dollars (weekend food).

I guess I appreciated it more because I could only catch The football and basketball games from a radio station out of Shreveport. I had to go outside on the upper balcony of the dormitory to listen to LSU. This was 1987/1988. Lol

My grandpa did and I used to snatch them up with the quickness!

Good times.

Mine didn't. Out of curiosity, how much did the subscription cost?

I was at LSU in the mid-late 80s and I remember subscribing to it myself. In fact I even interviewed with Steve Myers, one of the original owners, for an Ad Sales Rep position.
I still periodically pick up a copy of the Rag..

I did. I lived out of state and it was a good way of keeping abreast of everything happening in LSU sports.

Yes I took the Tiger Rag and showed up in the Mailbox on like Tuesday and I also knew both Steve's. At the time was the best Recruiting Information.

Hell yeah. Loved me some Hap Glaude and Scooter H!

I subscribed for a few years. Don't even mention sitting in the truck listening to LSU football games on the radio or raking pine straw while listening to baseball games in the front yard. ESPN was the best thing to ever. And then the internet.
