The only stains on the 80s was AIDS and the war on drugs.

87-92 for me.
Good times, as stated above. Not quite the wild west, but approaching that........and everyone was cool, TOLERANT, and fun....good hearted.

Hitting the remnants of the keg of Old Milwaukee from the exchange the night before on the way to class on Friday mornings was a thing of beauty. Stair diving. Ordering diet plates at Pedros for all the fat girls. Quarter beer on Tues nights at Murphys. Live bands in frat houses after football games. Dropping trou while dancing with girls at Shanahans.

Yes, '79-'84. Dynamite live music and bar scene in Baton Rouge. Just go find an old Gumbo and see who performed in the city during those years. It will blow your mind.
Yep. I was at LSU 77-81, then Law School. REM at the Bayou.

Well, there were no admissions standards and the drinking age was 18. As a result most students failed out of LSU after their second semester. 
There were no cell phones or computers or even internet. If you wanted to tel someone something, you had to call them on a land line ot drive to where they were.
LSU atheletics in general we’re not very good at all. I think we went 2–9 in football one year when I was there. Dale Brown had pretty solid basketball teams, but skip Bertman had not yet turned our baseball program into a powerhouse.

Right....post-Bill Arnsparger era, Mike Archer, and then Curley Hallman years. Agree...a tough time to be a tiger.

Yep, I remember when they would sell football tickets it the west upper for $2…they called it Curley’s corner!

$2 wow

Not LSU, but we had a small school, small town where the student population was 90% Greek. Wednesday nights were trash cans filled with jungle juice, Thursdays were joint parties with another fraternity, Friday nights were a party at the house and Saturday was a band in the square with 2-3 other fraternities. Also skeet shoots, tubing on the river, country house parties, random card games after class, trips to area women's colleges, concerts, fall rush events. In retrospect, it's amazing I was able to achieve a 1.8 GPA first semester.

Settled? I’d say she was never getting into Rice at least.

Sell plasma twice a week.. get like five dollars the first time and 7 second time of same week.. stop at the bayou on way home and blow it on Nickel beers..still have the entry scar on my left arm ( but not very noticeable anymore)
You could work all summer and save enough money to have a lot of fun at the bars… but we lived in modest housing on campus .. tiger land ( was all students then) etc and thought fine dining was once in a while and the restaurant did not have waitstaff.. those places were for profs and parents.
And yeah the video was accurate and every game we had a band and kegs at the house.. south seas … bid night etc we would line up 20plus kegs and a few trash cans of jungle juice…
And if we broke something or got in trouble we fixed it ourselves…

Yes. The place was on Chimes St. I didn't do it twice a week, but I did it a few times and yes I'd walk to the Bayou and spend the $ on beer. Again, I haven't thought about this stuff in years. Good times.

Geez, hate to think what their reputation was back then….Thank God for MS or you’d be the worst in conference.
Had a fraternity brother from NO fail out of Fayetteville. Dean’s list LSU. He said it was because LSU let him use his crayons.

81-86 was a sweet spot athletically as you had the football team going to an Orange and two Sugar Bowls while the basketball team made two Final Fours.
As I understand it the mid to late 70s were awesome as Vietnam was over and, as others have said, there were way fewer rules and Baton Rouge was a better city then. The problem was the football team wasn't very good in that stretch.
The Greeks don't want no freeks.
