Unknown – Temp...Thanks for the comments, everyone.<br /><br />Unknown – Temple said she was from New Orleans. Nice to hear from you. I remember the limited substitution rule and watching replay of games from the 1950s is almost painful in their slow, plodding style. So cool you were able to see the great Halloween run and the Sugar Bowl against Clemson.<br /><br />R.T. and Eve – glad y'all liked the writing.<br /><br />Paul – "Roll Tide?" When reporters said that to Coach O during the season, all he said back was, "We comin'." When I went to Troy State University in Alabama (now Troy University), Bear Bryant was still the coach and everyone was Tide crazy except the Auburn folks. Nearly everyone at TSU liked Bama. The only school everyone hated was the Georgia Bulldogs.<br /><br />O'Neil De Nouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142721824657611738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-21297542334416212172020-03-13T13:28:14.171-04:002020-03-13T13:28:14.171-04:00R.T.'s right - I enjoyed reading it and I'...R.T.'s right - I enjoyed reading it and I'm not a football fan.<br />Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-76143588340115741052020-03-13T11:46:13.754-04:002020-03-13T11:46:13.754-04:00O'Neil, the emotion you put into writing this ...O'Neil, the emotion you put into writing this article is strongly reflected in the reading.

It certainly brings back lots of memories because I started LSU in the Fall of 1956 so I was there for the Billy Cannon years. It was certainly a different time. My dorm room in the Stadium only cost $50 a semester and the student fee of $25 entitled you to attend all athletic events including football games for free.<br /><br />I was there on Halloween night for "The Run" but you are the first person who seems to remember the goal line stand that was just as exciting as "The Run" was. I also remember the Sugar Bowl game against Clemson. I had free tickets courtesy of my brother-in-law. It was a cloudy, cold, overcast day with a good bit of wind. Miserable for watching a ball game. <br /><br />Most people don't remember how football was played the the late 1950's. There was limited substitution so when the ball changed hands there was no wholesale exchange of offense players for defensive players and the kicker when you needed one had to be a player all ready on the field. I often wonder how today's players would fair under those rules.<br /><br />As for the 2019 season, I enjoyed every minute of it but I don't have high hopes there will be a repeat of a season like that for a very long time but one can always hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094828379664910103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-60954556768479746632020-03-13T09:29:51.054-04:002020-03-13T09:29:51.054-04:00Roll Tide! -- Sorry, O'Neil, I had to say that...Roll Tide! -- Sorry, O'Neil, I had to say that.
