re: What was your first game seeing LSU

LSU vs Notre Damn in 1984.

My grandfather took me when I was 7. I remember seeing a tidal wave of bodies rising and falling to do the wave as it made its way around the stadium. I got wrapped up in the moment and instinctively stood up when it made its way to up. My seated grandfather got a good laugh when I looked over at him as I sat.

I also remember the old codger nearby who would rhythmically chant over and over again. I asked my grandfather what he was saying, and he responded, "Tigerbait."

October 1, 1966.
LSU 10
Miami 8.

The first game I watched on television was the January 1, 1966 upset of top ranked Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.

Prior to that the radio was always on WWL on Saturday nights.

LSU - 28
Notre Dame - 8
1971

I still have the stadium program.

I wasn't there, but was listening to one of the best ever, John Ferguson call the game on 1150am WJBO. I was only 8 at the time!

Not sure what my first one was, but first one I distinctly remember was Flynn to Byrd

Earthquake Game Oct 8 1988. Day before my birthday. LSU/Auburn. 7-6. Side note. My Dad graduated from LSU in 1958 and he and my Mom attended the LSU/Ole Miss Halloween night Billy Cannon infamous win 1959.

Sept 1964 Vs A&M. LSU 9 - A&M 6

September of 1962 vs Ta&m

My cuz rest her soul, played and marched with The Golden Band from Tigerland! I grew up in NOLA and every weekend me and my Grandpa walked the Tulane campus, the student union had a bowling alley, this was in the 60s early 70s and I Loved Tulane and hated LSU because my Grandma said they were loud, rude, and obnoxious! She was right! We moved from La. and me and my Dad would listen to WWL in West Virginia & at night it would be crystal clear & on Saturday Night we listened to LSU! We moved back down south to MS. and I went to my first game in Tiger Stadium in the late 70s but I don't have a clue who we played? We played old miss and it was AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE! The prick next to me kept saying to break his leg, "talking about our QB and I was getting so mad at him but he was with his 2 kids and I had 1 at the time and he wanted me to punch him but I didn't, we won he left, I vividly remember thinking to myself, "this is what my Grandma meant by rude, obnoxious, and loud" It was all that & more & I joined the club! I know this might offend but I don't care, Tulane Stadium back before they tore it down and the Saints played there was Massive and majestic, it held over 80,000 I think 82-84,000 was the record and Tiger Stadium at the time was around 60,000 but it would get so loud, I reveled in the noise I loved being a fan of the Tigers but not when I was a boy, I hated LSU because they beat Tulane 99% of the time! I parked cars in my Grandparents yard and they would be like sardines! It would be so loud with everyone stomping the metal floor of those hard arse bleachers! We would sign up to sell drinks with the racks on our shoulders, "ice cold beer, cokes" I'm like 12 doing this and now I don't even think a 12 y o can sell beer? Crazy how good things were and how much it has changed. Yeah I have an 86 inch tv that is too big but TV and now the size of them, and Every Game is on 24/7 record, rewatch, and everything else is the reason it will Never be the same ?? Thank God for all the memories I have and we all have every day and let's just be happy and be thankful for each and every thought we get to experience, HAPPY 4th of JULY & GEAUX TIGERS
PS. I get off topic easily,????????
