The earliest i can remember was 1970 when Texas A&M came in and squeaked out a rare win against the Tigers. I was 7 years old. Tommy Casanova & Bert Jones were on that team.

My first game was with my dad and mom during the 1954 season. We were in our Tiger Stadium seats that still belong to my family today. I don’t remember the specific game but I do remember that LSU was coached by Gaynell Tinsley and Vince ‘Chico’ Gonzales was playing for the Tigers. I saw several Tiger games from 1957-59 during Billy Cannon’s legendary college career.

Texas A&M. It must have been about 1973. I was a kid of about 10.

Against the Aggies in 1970. Bert Jones was introduced and we lost in the last 13 seconds when Paul Lyons went for an interception on a hail Mary. Sat in the south end zone just a few rows up right behind the goalposts. 2nd loudest game I've been to other than 1979 USC.

vs Georgia, 2003

Hell of a game for your first!! There’s a lot of people that believe it was the game that put LSU back in the Top Echelon of CFB.

It’s when the “Golden Age” of LSU Football really began!!

LSU/Houston 1996. I was a freshman at McNeese. As soon as I walked into Tiger Stadium, I knew I was transferring to LSU the next year.

1977 vs Rice. LSU snuck by the Owls 77-0 and Carlos Carson had like a million yards of offense.

My first gamr to see LSU was in 1949 (I think) when we played North Carolina. My brother was in school there an had the whole family down to see a ball game. NC had a player called Choo Choo Justice, so naturally he was the one who got my attention.

That was some weird experience for a 10--12 year old from the sticks in Vernon Parish who had never been anywhere before.

They were cleaning out Mike #1 cage and a stream of tiger shite ran across the sidewalk - my brother and his friend jumped it easy but I came up a tad short and my feet slipped out from under me and I fell on my back in the shite. Parents had to take me to town to get new clothes = not happy.

but I was in love with LSU and it has never wavered

I don't remember exactly. Definitely a Bill Arnsparger team. Mid 80s. We used to slide down the Indian Mounds on cardboard and parked right across the street. Tailgating was big but way less corporate.
