We’re off to the 75th Cotton Bowl today. GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Since LSU had a bye week this weekend, here’s a sight not many get to see:
The video was shot with a HD helmet cam attached to Seth Mannon, at the start of the game against West Virginia earlier this season.
I know the Tigers aren’t opening the season at home, but this time of year is when I miss the city I grew up in the most.

It was certainly a great night for the Tiger fans here in the Phisch Bowl. We had some fellow alumni over, as well as friends who are just college football fans, and their kids. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, had Zapp’s potato chips and Abita beer (Amber and Turbodog), even some king cake. We ate well, we cheered hard for our Tigers, and cheered harder still as the clock ran down in the fourth quarter.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Monday night, my folks made the requisite birthday phone call, and while chatting with my dad, I was informed that thirty-seven years ago today, I witnessed my first LSU football game.
Not that I recall one lick of it, you understand, being all of two days old. But Dad held me and we watched LSU go at it against Ole Miss, which was quarterbacked by the legendary Archie Manning. Of the three games Archie played against the Tigers, this was the only one he lost, and the Rebels lost big, 61-17. Manning played the game with a protected broken arm. (They don’t make football players like they use to, though some come close.)
So for my friends who might not quite understand my passion for college football, especially the Tigers, you could say I was born to it, and it’s been with me ever since.
GEAUX TIGERS!!
