4. Lagniappe

Pronounced Lon yop. . Cajun for “a little sumthin extra.” In a New Orleans Restaurant you might get an extra shrimp, I.e., lagniappe.

I saw Norte Dame play USC at USC IN 1974. Anthony Davis ran wild. Then we saw the 1975 Rose Bowl USC beat Ohio State 18-17. $12.00 tickets, free “automobile” parking. Still got the tickets.

Thanks for the pronunciation -- never would have gotten it.

$12 tickets -- the good old days.

6. When I was in grad school at OSU in the early 80's the football tickets were free.

When you paid your tuition they sent you two tickets in the mail.

Then for the Rose Bowl, as I recall, you had to send in some money to join the lottery for the tickets.
It was inexpensive. You got your money back as I think, cannot remember that piece.
