Going to games with my father who died when I was 6 years old. He was the reason I was named after Billy Cannon.

I attended games in TS before it was a bowl. My first game was in 1949 when it was a horseshoe.

Had to be 66 or 67. As Boy Scouts, we would usher fans, almost always men, to their seats. Often would get a $1 tip for carrying their binoculars or flask up to their seats.

Bert Jones to Andy Hamilton was my favorite play.





And, 67,500 was louder and more rambunctious with only TGBFTL and LSU fans making A LOT of noise with their mouths. (Than 102,000 Corporates with putrid fake and sanitized artificial noise. )

TGBFTL on the west side between the student section and plastic seatbacks.
Those were awesome seats!

Most visiting teams brought full bands.
And we (Drumline and Band) never "Lost" to another SEC Band that came into Tiger Stadium. Drumline was full of "DCI Guys" (I marched Madison Scouts for one Summer Season) and it was serious business back then.

The stadium was louder with 85,000 die hard fans vs now,
It was louder with 67, 500 than now. That's why I do not miss going to games that much. It's too Corporate and Sanitized now with all the putrid PIM and other BS that the LSUAD thinks is necessary.
