re: What was the best decade to go to LSU ever?

I'm going with the 1970's. Sure, football was on its way down, and basketball hadn't really happened yet, and college baseball was years away from mattering, but....

Zeppelin.
Floyd.
Stones.
Bowie.
Elton.
Queen.
Dead.
Bruce.
Skynyrd if they didn't crash on the way.

The best concert at the PMAC while I was at LSU was the Goo Goo Dolls. Even though Johnny Reznik actually handed me his Strat from the stage at the end of the show, I'd've still preferred to see Pink Floyd rock out with an inflatable pig floating around while I tripped balls.

Damn, I was born 25 years too late.

And don't forget,Panty Raids, Streaking, Epic Band parties that everyone wanted to attend on Alaska St. The Enchanted Forest!

Football games being on TV were an occassion rather than the norm. Not being on TV made football games much more of an event then they are now. Now people show up to tailgate and party and maybe they go to the game. In the 70's, the only way you saw the game was to be there or use your mind's eye will listening to the radio.

Great places to party within walking distance from LSU - can't remember the name of the Biker Bar which later became the Plasma center, The Library, The White Horse, The Bengal, Shanahan's, and a couple of others that escape me now - way too much partying!

Could buy beer on campus downstairs in Hatcher in The Pub or was it The Keg.

KLSU had a fun audience participation show that got too far out of hand at the end and was canceled. It was great because you could only hear it on campus and that allowed almost anything to be said on air - unless the administration said something.
