Lackamoola

In 1956 I was sitting in the Reveille office working on a story when Pete Finney, who was visiting the campus at the time, came up and asked if I had written a recently printed story. When I acknowledged having done so, he said he thought it was very informative and professionally done. Greatest compliment I ever received. My favorite N.O. sports writer.

Can you read?

Excellent presentation, but couldn’t help noticing many differences in the crowd now and back in 1954 when I attended the games, especially all the attractive, unattached coeds. Back then coeds did not attend the games unless they had a date. And they dressed for the occasion—no shorts or pants! The student section then started at the 40 yard line on the home team side and extended into the end zone. In ’54 and ’55 you could fire a shot gun into the crowd and only with great luck or skill hit someone

Just trying to be positive about it!!

Yes, but without the blasphemy!!

At the beginning of the ’58 championship season, one could always buy tickets outside the stadium around game time. A friend and I sometimes just drove up to the game from N.O. on a whim and successfully bought tickets. The Tigers were undefeated on October 18th when they were to play Kentucky. At the last minute we decided to attend and drove up, arriving just as they kicked off and parked at the gate. We got out of the car expecting to find scalpers hawking their tickets but all we found were ticket buyers like us. When it became apparent we were not going to get in, the crowd tried to bribe the gate attendant to sell them standing room, but the police soon broke that up. Finally everyone just sat around on the hoods of their cars listening to the game on their car radios. At the beginning of the 4th quarter (after the police went in to watch the game) the gate keeper relented and let us all into the stadium where we watched the remaining action from the tunnels and elsewhere. I do believe that this was the beginning of the tradition of sell-out crowds for LSU football. And it is true that we drove up at kick off time and parked no more than thirty feet from an entrance to the stadium. How times have changed!!! LSU 37 Kentucky 7

An appreciation!!

By the way, wasn't it the Greeks who invented buggery??

Where can I get some of that "genetalia?"

I just hope he doesn't buy a motorcycle.
