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

1973, my freshman year at LSU. I was 17 years old and the week after we lost 21-7 to stinkin' Alabama, we also lost to (then) arch-rival Tulane. They shut us out and people were crying in the stadium. I thought they were insane. But it didn't take me long to get it - the next few years were rough! We never beat Bama while I was a student 
My brother played defensive end at LSU so he's my all time favorite player, of course!

My dad was a hunter and a fisherman, he didn't watch "athletic" sports per se. My interest in sports came from my brothers and friends so MLB and NFL captured my adolescent attention. I always liked and followed LSU - the Ruston Rocket and Tommy Casanova but I didn't really become an emotionally connected fan until one November in 1979 when #1 Bama escaped with a 3-0 victory over the Tigers. The fight and relentless tenacity of the Tigers won me over. I've been a diehard fan ever since.

The first LSU football game I saw was when I was in high school in 1957. Run Billy Run.

1958, great season

Great way to figure out a guy's age bracket.
But I'll say 1970. I remember being glued to my parent's large console stereo, riveted by the play-by-play call of the thrilling goal line stand by our undersized Tigers against storied Notre Dame in frigid South Bend. I remember shedding tears after that 3-0 loss, heartbroken, yet filled with a love for the Tigers and a pride to be from Louisiana and from that moment on, Forever an LSU fan. Geaux Tigers! Love Purple, Live Gold!

2000. We had always listened on the radio, but living in Atlanta, weren't on TV much. Internet made it easier to look up scores and stats from games. Had a good friend older sister at Auburn so we would go there whenever LSU was playing.
I actually remember following the baseball team more than football before that.

Born into it. No choice. Daddy graduated from LSU and named me after Billy. Been bleeding purple and gold since birth...damn thankful for it

Late 1968. 1st Annual Peach Bowl LSU 31-27 over FL St. It was on TV and is the first game that I watched closely and remember well. I was 7.
