re: How did you 80s baws watch games?

Posted by Manswers on 12/23/25 at 10:08 pm to
As a kid in the 70s I only went to 2 games - the 1977 LSU vs Rice game where we beat them 77-0 and Carlos Carson caught 5 TDs (I think). The other was against Bama in 1978. I got to see Charles Alexander but we lost.

Did not see other games in person until I got to college in 1983. Started seeing more games then because of cable and pay per view.

In the 70s, it was listening to the Tigers on the radio. Pretty sure John Ferguson was the guy.

That is really is great. We have a really good young coach and a really good young QB and the morale of the team is high.
Really hard to say between 2011 Alabama game and 1969 Ole Miss game. I'll go with the 2011 Alabama game because that gives us another NC. The 1969 Ole Miss game puts us in a bowl for the NC.

However that 1969 team was always a mythical team from my childhood and I would have loved Casanova getting a NC.
I'd take Underwood over the other names I've seen so far. I might be ok with Leavitt if his health wasn't such a question mark.

I'm not sure how close they are but we clearly have a solid coach and a capable, young QB. The defense is not bad but we need to maintain succession planning for some of the older starters. We need 3 good OL at least one very good WR and an elite RB for when Kamara is done.

Not sure when they win the division or go to the playoffs - probably 2 to 3 years minimum but we are aided by being in a weak division.

That 1969 team should have been national champs. Archie Manning came from behind to beat LSU to hand them 1 loss. I suppose they still could have been national champs had they gone to the Cottom Bowl and won but the allure of Notre Dame was too much for the Cotton Bowl.
For those who would like to view the game:

I agree, but I would add we need a significant upgrade at QB and a few new weapons as well.

re: Lane to LSU reactions compilation

Am watching the CBS evaluation and one guy give LSU a B for hiring Kiffin but Ole Miss an A for hiring Golding (who was already on staff).
LSU picked up an entire starting 5 from the portal, have Reid and Miller as skilled 6'10 guys coming off the bench and a few extra solid wings. I really like Thomas, McKinnon, King, and Tamba on the floor with one of the bigs.

I don't know how many games they'll win in a strong SEC but they are talented enough to be a tournament team.

I think he is thinking a Saban type run but at LSU.


Honestly, I think that's what Lane wants, particularly since Saban is one of his confidantes. The key will be how quickly he can achieve substantial success, e.g. winning a few games in the playoffs.

If Marty lied doesn't it mean Lane lied too? Lane has been publicly saying he hasn't decided yet. I don't believe him but it seems like the "lie" originated from Lane.
Sorry, just trying to lighten things up.

So, a bunch of guys on a message board ALL recognize that there should be a backup plan, but you think that the people who are actively looking for a coach don’t? That’s about as ridiculous a scenario as I can think of.


It is ridiculous but then again we all experienced 2016.

No KS = Knick Saban
It could mean that Ole Miss or Sumrall believe Lane's not leaving.
Nah, it means we'll all be fine just removing the "interim" tag from Frank's title. He's 2-0, baby!

I will never forget people touting him by saying he wrote a book titled "Complete Linebacking".

He was a disaster. He tanked Dinardo's career.
I don't understand why any LSU fan is confident about Kiffin. I have no confidence in whoever is running the show at LSU. Verge just looks a front man. Firing Woodward the way it played out was a bad look and suggests poor leadership.
