re: What year did you really begin to pay attention to LSU football

Mid-60's...favorite all time Tiger:
TOMMY CASANOVA.

About 1958.

1965. I saw my first game in 1962. And there's that name Joe Labruzzo again.

But when was the first season you actually took it all in and became a dedicated fan, emotionally invested in the program?

1994ish
I was big into college football but LSU was so bad i didn't follow closely

I played high school football at Barbe and was in the same graduating class as Justin Vincent. When he was recruited by LSU is when I started paying attention to LSU and college football. Year 2000 final answer

I remember the days of Joe Labruzzo, Eddie Ray, John Wood, Mike Hillman, Pat Screen, Jimmy Gilbert, yada yada, and everyone since.

The 1997 Football Season while sitting having lunch at Buds Broiler on Jefferson Hwy. Heavy rain during the game and Kevin Faulk could not be stopped in TS. Hooked ever since.

1983

1982. Oldest sister's first semester at LSU. Attended several games before then but many more after. She caught an orange in the eye during the FSU game and still had a black-eye over the holidays. I remember thinking...how did all of those oranges get into Tiger stadium. Loved that game and probably sold me on attending LSU myself.
