1956. My father was a prof at LSU and we had season tickets for 1 dollar per game (24 bucks per season for 4 people).

Times have changed.

When I was a child I was a true Bama fan (depressed if we lost / watched every game). Follow things like recruiting etc? I'll go with around the Shula era.

Went to my first game at age 3 in 1988, and started going to every home game every year at age 7. The first that I REALLY kinda start remembering stuff was in '96 at age 11. I remember details of watching a few games live. At age 12 in 1997 I can more vividly remember more things (maybe because we were good that year), and from 13 and up I was I guess "for real".

probably around 6 years old. I vivdly remember having a vested interest in games at that age. This was the barker/palmer era.

By 12 I could recite height weight and hometown

i have always gone to games, watched games, been a fan and etc but i really didn't become a real fan and stop going through the motions till about 2002 when i was 12. i followed them in 2001 but not like i did in 2002. them being fricking awesome also helped jump start the process.

I don't know what "stagnate" is, but my family has always been LSU.

My dad went to both LSU and State

I was more or less a t-shirt sip fan since I moved to Austin when I was little. None of my family members went to college in the U.S so I had no connections to any school. I started following the Aggies when I saw Stephen McGee dominate the Longhorns in 2006

2010 when I applied for pharmacy school

I watched AU occasionally beforehand and usually pulled for AU in the IB because everyone else I know is a UA fan and I loved their tears

As soon as I was old enough really, I guess somewhere around 10-11 which would have been 2 or 3 years before the 92 championship.

1971. Wore a #88 George Ranager jersey every Saturday and we were undefeated in the regular season. I loved Terry Davis, Coach Bryant, and all things crimson. Still do.
