From the Back Cover

"Nowhere do you find a more die-hard and fanatical following of a football team in America. To the fans of the Purple and Gold LSU football is a religion . . . all about life and death . . . talked about year around. Weddings rarely occur on Saturdays when LSU is playing in Tiger Stadium."
-from Mythical Tiger Stadium
In October 1958, the Louisiana State University football team won its first national title, and an impassioned football fan base unlike any other was born. Among the deafening roars of 93,000 filled seats, there emerges a sense of unity, passion, and magic on fall Saturday nights in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. With vivid detail, this book by longtime LSU fan Chet Hilburn presents thirty of LSU's greatest football games.
Names of former players such as Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon will evoke a sense of nostalgia and take fans back to pivotal games in LSU football history. With more than seventy gripping photographs and game plays recounted by coaches, players, and spectators, this book is a must-read for fans of LSU and all football alike.
Chet Hilburn has been an LSU football fan for more than fifty years. His love affair with the Purple and Gold began at the age of sixteen, when he first attended games while visiting his brother, who was studying at the university. Hilburn is a graduate of Louisiana Tech University and has forty-three years of experience as a newspaper reporter, editor, and author. Now retired, he lives in Houston, Texas.

When Chet Hilburn was asked why he chose to write about Tiger Stadium, he responded, Every football fan in America has heard about the mystique of LSU's Tiger Stadium, but no one has ever written a book on it until now. His passion was born when he was sixteen years old. His older brother, then a LSU student, brought him to a number of games in the stadium, and he has been fascinated ever since. Hilburn graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a BA in history. He has more than forty years of experience as a reporter, editor, and author. His work history includes time as a police reporter for the Shreveport (LA) Journal, a reporter and design editor for the Alexandria (LA) Town Talk, a managing editor of the Camden (AK) News, and a layout editor, writer, and later national and world news editor for the Houston (TX) Chronicle. He also received a Bronze Star for his work as a journalist and combat photographer-reporter with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam. Now retired, Hilburn focuses on writing. He lives in Houston, Texas.
