6 years old with Hodson a little, but I was a bigger basketball fan up until mid 90s. It became a major part of my life beginning in 96.
I remember keeping Shaqs stats on post it notes back in the day.

I watched LSU a little when I was younger in the 80's, but really became a fan when I went to LSU in 1991

When I was conceived. I was born in July of 1960 and named after Billy Cannon. Tracing back conception just may have well been the eve of the famous Halloween punt return vs. Ole Miss.

I was born in 1954. My dad was a huge fan. So naturally, i became a fan too. I can remember the days of Charlie Mac and lived though all the coaching changes since. Nick Saban built a dynasty and Les has done well maintaining. But if Saban had of stayed. Alabama would still be irrelevant and the Tigers would have a few more championships and would be the best team ever in college football. Daddy Dale got me hooked on LSU basketball. He was truly a great man.

My first game was a baseball game. I was 5-6 and Eddie Furniss hit 3 hrs. We went to a football game the following season. Been hooked ever since.

I moved to LA in '91 from NJ. Dinardo's first two games against Texas A&M and Auburn made me fall in love with LSU football.

it had to be like 1950 on our screened patio in Metry sitting in my dad's lap (getting sips of JAX) listening to the Tigers on WWL with uncle Buddy, uncle Nick and uncle Al on fall nites way back when.

Mid 1960's. Mom and dad both graduated from LSU. Dad used to listen to the radio to John Ferguson(sp) if they didn't go to the game. Pretty much my first time listening and trying to understand the game of football. A few years later went to my first game and usually went to a game or two a year from then on. My cousins lived in B.R., and had several season tickets. So to answer probably about 6 years old.

First home game 1977
Posted on 11/9/12 at 9:11 pm to JTA1985
In high school (class of '97) I wanted nothing to do with LSU because pretty much all of my classmates loved LSU, and I had to be different. I didn't really start following LSU until I went away to college haha. Some things never change.
In fairness to me, I didn't really like college football all that much until I got to college. It was perfect timing because that's why DiNardo gave this program a much needed shot in the arm.

Always has been. My Dad bought season tickets in the SEZ when the section was added onto the stadium in the 1950's. I've been going to home games since 1970. Used to sit in the living room and listen to all the away games on an antique radio with vacuum tubes. I can still hear John Ferguson and Walter Hill calling the games long before Jim Hawthorn made listening to LSU sports an unbearable, miserable experience.

1952 I was 7 years old, went to my 1st lsu game. Been hooked ever since. But the first real pain came in 1959 when we beat Ole Miss 7-3 during regular season then lost to them 21-0 in Sugar Bowl. Never forget that feeling and remember feeling the same thing last year in NCG. Only thing that makes it go away is winning again and again. Love them Tigers!
