Boy Scout leader called me to see if I wanted to go to LSU game to usher. After clearing with parents I went with scout leader and others with Boy Scout uniform to Baton Rouge for my first college football game. It was Halloween night in 1959! We were sitting in the lower south endzone in the aisle closer to west side about even with sideline marker. When Billy Cannon ran that punt back he was running right at us. After scoring he took a knee and paused for a while and was right in front of us. Needless to say I became an LSU fan from then on. What a memorable event. When I went to college I went to USL but still attended LSU games when I could. Now I live in the shadows of Cajun Field and have held LSU season tickets since Dinardo brought back the magic.

4 LSU Troy tickets $100 for all 4 in South Endzone section 419. Lafayette resident. Reply to this board.

Drew Alleman (the other #38) kicked off for Acadiana High last year. In game vs STM he put three kickoffs through the uprights. LSU had Wade Ritchey, who was a great high school kicker, and managed to turn him into a mediocre kicker. I agree with the hang time on kickoffs but if you can put the ball deep into the endzone then you have at least one more second "hang time" since the returner will take at least one second to exit the endzone. I say give Alleman a shot and see what happens. It can't hurt!
