Listened to John Ferguson and Walter Hill on the radio broadcasting games. You could hear Sid Crocker’s voice in the background as the PA announcer.

I got passed up the student section all the way to the top when we beat Florida. After sitting on the field after, saw the goalposts being passed around.

Good memories of my Dad sitting in the kitchen with the lights turned down, drinking coffee and listening to John and Walter.

*Punch cards for classes
*Dates started early on game days because lines were long to get your id hand punched at the gate
*Lost to Tulane at home - students crying in the stands (what?!)
*Stadium dorm parties
*Guys streaking on the parade grounds & outside dorms - naked guys everywhere!
*No cafeteria on weekends, so taking extra bread Friday nights
*Giant 4ft toaster apparatus at breakfast where you put your bread in at the bottom and it rotated up & around a heating element (what?!)
*The Spaghetti Store after church at The Chapel - free glass with a coke, my parents used ‘em for years afterwards
17 year old me was living large

David Duke and free speech ally..... He headed up a march to the Louisana capital from campus to promote the concept of co-ed dorms. While myself and 500 other students were forming up at the edge of campus, the city police rolled up in force. Head of Campus security went over to police chief to organize the arrests. Police Chief replied he is here to escort the students, they got a parade permit

Absolutely not. Was gonna ask about a couple guys you may remember from that team.
I was only on the team until August 94 when I defected to the rugby team.
I figured spending 4 years as the 3rd string WDE wasn't as fun as rugby. Very happy with that decision almost 30 yrs later.
But got to know a few guys well in our DL/DE group. Gilyard, Northern, Hankton, Mixon, Miller, Wiley and Valentino were really cool and helpful to us lowly walk-ons.

When I was a kid, freshmen males got their head shaved and had to wear a beanie. All freshmen had to stand for the entire game every game, women included. This went on until 2 years before I started there.
As a freshman I talked with Lora Hinton and Theilen Smith on the Union steps.

Man I worked out at the same time as him in the Rec for a while. Dude would talk to himself in the mirror before squats. He was nuts but damned strong.

Was walking thru the Student Union right by the bank branch in the middle hallway and when i passed the candy shop i heard a girl tell her coworker: “Did you hear ? Magic Johnson has AIDS !”…. The ish-storm that ensued was wild, none of us ever saw that coming and it’s impossible to overstate how huge that news was at the time .
I was at the plasma center on Chimes when the news came out. My boss at my student job called the plasma center and had them call me to the phone so she could tell me.

We were shitfaced at 2 AM at the Shoney's on College Dr when this a-hole that was with us sees Buggar McFarland. I look over and get the truly evil idea to convince him to go say hi.
After debating the entire meal "it would be too fan-boy to," he finally goes up to him as he and his party were leaving.
He tells him some shite- he will be missed on defense, how he was a huge fan blah blah blah. I was almost disappointed, but then he says, "Well, good luck in Buffalo, Bugg!"
I immediately bust out laughing as the Dude turns on him and says, "Bruh...I'm Allen Stansbury."
The whole restaurant clowned his arse.

I also watched a certain QB get escorted to class by LSU PD the week after he threw 6 ints to a team who (still) can't pick a mascot.
