LSU Football - Photographic History, pre-1980

I have a picture of Jerry Stovall and me when LSU played North Carolina in, I am guessing, mid 60's, at Chapel Hill. I can't find it, if I do I will post.

Until sex that was the high point of my life.

From an article in the LSU Reveille:

...Long added 10,000 seats to the 13,000-seat [Tiger] stadium by 1934. For his love of LSU football, he even arranged for students to ride the train for reduced fares for out-of-town games.

Roy King, assistant director of bands, said Long’s interest in the LSU band changed it from a military ceremonial band to the “Show Band of the South” under the direction of Castro Carazo, whom Long hired.

Long introduced the purple and gold colors and increased the band to nearly 250 members, according to the LSU Department of Bands Web site.
...
Long composed songs for the band with Carazo, such as “Darling of LSU” and “Touchdown for LSU,” which the band still plays at every game.
