When we moved to Baton Rouge in the mid-50’s Paul Dietzel was beginning his career as head football coach at LSU. LSUs undefeated 1958 national championship season was my first season as a Tiger fan. I grew up in a house that lived for Saturday night football. There was never any doubt that I would play football, even at 120lbs. My first play in a varsity game was a kickoff return that I ran back to the 50 yard-line surprising myself and my teammates. I woke up at the bottom of a tackle pile with my breath knocked out and a broken finger. I quickly got my breath back, but the finger and its odd shape has reminded me all my life of the amazing energy we have deep inside. Tap into that life energy today.
