Sports

It’s 1983, your sophomore year at L.S.U. It’s Wednesday and your cell mate, er dorm mate we mean, suggests a stroll to Tigerland. What could possibly happen? If you wandered into Sport’s, next to Fred’s, you’d be off to the races with 50¢ jello shots and $1.00 Busch longnecks...and really...what could be better than THAT?!? One of Red Stick’s all-time-favorite bygone joints, Sport’s (originally named “Sports Illustrated”...oops, the magazine didn’t really like that) was an iconic hangout for years on Bob Pettit Blvd. Somehow you made out in one piece (most nights), but if you moved on to Murphy’s, well...all bets were off. Now you’re a respectable resident of suburbia, all due to the fine “education” you received at L.S.U...and places like Sport’s!
