I was the first person in my family to ever go to college.

So 1980, my freshman year at Auburn.

Get hearing protection for baby.

I took my kids to their first game at 6 and 9. It looks like a lot of work to take a baby to a game.

Barfield was the coach and I was under 10 is all I can remember. I'd have to ask my dad to see if he knows more pacifically.

Good question and I don't remember exactly. Dad was a Lion's Club member and he guarded the South Endzone TV tower every week (for free!) through the 70's, 80's and early '90's until he died, so he couldn't really take me. I well remember him leaving home with his Lion's Club hat on, his binocs and a sack lunch, and coming home with cups.

I was born in '70, and finally persuaded my parents to buy me a used Sears and Roebuck 3.5 hp minibike in '77. His name was Flash. The only time my parents would let me tool around Green St. / Old Mill Road was during football games on Saturdays when there was no traffic. AU Football games or flying around the neighborhood wide open on Flash? Flash won, but I always tracked the blimp, and could hear roars and play by play from JHS when I gave Flash a break.

I reckon my first game was Little Train's last year, whenever that was. '83 or '84? Flash died from wear and tear, and I wanted money, so I started selling programs at the base of Ag Hill. Made some cash, tips, and got into the games for free. Picked up a lot of cups and paper shakers after the games, then went to meet dad, and we walked back to Funchess where he worked and parked. Came home and washed cups and caught the rest of the games together on TV or chunked the nerf in the street. Good memories. Pics of my room and 80's fold out posters from programs:

Coleco

P apologized that he is behind schedule but sent this other other WTF GIF

War Eagle. Can anyone help me one more time - how do I embed a pic or gif into the message window so I don't have to link it? Thanks.


PPAP and Frick Vandy. We'll cover, right?



RIP Jim Fyffe!

I don't remember the first game I went to, I was probably around 5, but the first game I remember is the 2000 SEC Championship game when I was 7.

Not because of the game, but because I got an ice cream sandiwch, bit into it and lost a tooth
