Home: Rice 1967, Tigers win 20-14 on a Glenn Smith rushing TD with less than a minute left. Our first year with season tickets.

Away: Rice 1974, a crappy 10-10 tie, but a fun party at Rice U that night. My first game as an LSU student, drove back to BR the next day to see Elton John in the Assembly Center that night, tix were $4.00 in the bleeders.

Neutral: 2007 Sugar Bowl against the "Domers, 41-14 win that was JaMarcus Russell's coming out party. Was fun to get up in them ND faces.

The bar on the back of semi trailers is because of the accident she was killed in. It is known as 'the Mansfield Bar". FWIW she was not decapitated, she suffered severe head trauma.

That cool script with the dunking Tiger FTW

I was at the house watching that game as well, had way too many beers and lost my mind. Realized then and there to put these games into better perspective, after all, they are just games. In hindsight, I can’t ever remember any LSU loss quite like that one, I’ve been a fan since the mid-60s. Chill pill, sports are supposed to be the playground of life.

Great story, thanks for posting. I remember that day in early 1968 that it was announced that Trey Prather, backup QB in 1966 to Nelson Stokely was killed in Vietnam a week before his 21st birthday. He played for Woodlawn-Shreveport and was a great HS QB but couldn't beat out the Crowley boy.
As a kid who was going to games then I cried, then 2-1/2 years later we suddenly lost Butch Duhe to a brain tumor, that was devastating as well.

Not on here on DirecTV on 611-1
Edit: On ESPN3

We got season tix in '67, and my dad liked to get to the game a couple hours early so he could have a beer or two, plus you could beat the traffic into the area. We parked in the grass lot just south of the stadium, as our tix were in U11. My brother and I threw the football around, Dad set up the grill, and my mom hung out with my sister. Good times, for sure. I remember hearing the term 'tailgating' for the first time in the mid-70's, I had no idea there was a name for it.

BR native, been a Bay Area dude since '79.

From a multicultural aspect, there's more great food here than almost anywhere in the world.

From a live show concert freak that loves obscure music, EVERYBODY plays the Bay.

Folks out here are always working on the craziest things, I've been fortunate to have been a part of a several of them and have made some great friends in the process.

Due to the proximity to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, if you like to hike and camp this area is INSANE. Plus there are many wonderful place just a car ride away.

It is damned expensive to live here, and due to the fact that it would be ridiculously expensive to retire here I'll be back South before very long. Plus the fact that almost my entire family still lives in LA.

At the risk of sounding smarmy, this is one of the most unique places in the world, with a mesmerizing confluence of cultures, food, craft beer, music, and natural wonders. Add to that some of the most creative and inventive folks you'll ever meet. Many ideas that helped shape the future were started here. The past 36 years out here have been wonderful for me.

If I were in your shoes, and young and single, I'd do it in a heartbeat. In fact, I did!

Great brewpub called The Brewhouse, good beer and food with live music. Great Cajun restaurant The Palace right off State Street, has been there for 30 years.
