So,what got you hooked

I always liked going to Ole Miss games when I was a kid but I didn't really care about the game as much as I did the event. It wasn't until I watched the 2003 Fiesta Bowl (OSU vs MIA), of all games, that I became a huge fan of college football and my depression level became determined by W/L's

I'm not your typical Alabama fan, and my origins are questionable. I will be the first to admit my differences. I'd rather not tell my story; it wouldn't make any sense.

Been going as long as I can remember. My first memory was with my Dad and stepmom (no pics) at an LSU-Ole Miss game in Jackson sometime in the mid 80's. I was probably 5 or 6 years old. My dad went to every single game home or away back then and brought me along a lot of the time. I am literally an LSU fan going back to the cradle.

'97 when LSU beat Florida. I was 6 and had been going to all the home games since I was 3, but that game sealed the deal.

Dad was an insane Bama fan. Spent big money on the signed and numbered Daniel Moore paintings, Bama stuff everywhere, made the family leave on Saturdays so he could watch the game alone. I had a redskins starter jacket and he threw it away when we brought it home from the store. Said the only football that was allowed in the house was Alabama. My best friend was an auburn fan and I started watching the games in 2000 with him and became an auburn fan.







Shouldn't have thrown my starter jacket away.

Being born in Arkansas and watching Matt Jones run all over errbody when i was a kid

I'm not sure. I was born in a cave and raised by aborigines. I asked the local elders one day when I became a Bama fan and he said "In the summertime."

Your guess is as good as mine.

My dad was a UA grad from the early 60's and a huge football fan. Not every game was televised back in the 70's when I was a kid, so every Saturday, even if we were at the game, we had John Forney on the transistor radio.

I've loved football for as long as I can remember, so I can't pinpoint exactly when I became hooked, but I know the moment when I realized I was hooked. January 1st 1982, and I had just turned ten. Bama took a 10 point lead into the 4th quarter against Texas in the Cotton Bowl but gave up two TD's. Walter Lewis still had a chance to win it but threw an interception on the one yard line with about a minute left. I was crushed. Heartbroken. You know you're hooked when a loss hurts like that.

Growing up in the Carencro/Lafayette area I became a fan of LSU when Kevin Faulk commited to LSU and have been a fan ever since. Been living in Georgia a long time, I can remember when I use to have to just catch the LSU score on espn and hope for some highlights. Now I can watch pretty much every game I want to.

I would say I really became a college football junkie around the 2002 season. UGA had a great run that year, LSU had the bluegrass miracle that year.

Gentlemen we are a month away from hot boudin cold beer and some damn strong football

Lord help me I grew up a huge Ole Miss fan and will never forget this game. I drove all the way from UF to see it...

1983 - The Immaculate Deflection, or the Wind Bowl: In what has become known to Mississippi and MSU fans as "The Immaculate Deflection," the 1983 Egg Bowl played in Jackson is notable because the wind helped preserve Ole Miss' 24-23 victory. Down by a point with 24 seconds left in the game, MSU kicked what would have been a 27-yard game winning field goal. MSU freshman kicker Artie Cosby kicked it straight and long and what appeared to be over the crossbar, but as the ball reached the goal posts, a 40 mph gusting wind suspended the ball inches from the uprights, after which it fell short of the goal post, securing the victory for the Rebels.
