I feel like I should know this, but who is JC Love? I googled him and didn't find much other than what is said on our website. Does anyone know?

I am just guessing that he was part of the Love family which is very big in Ruston and he probably donated a large sum of money to the program.
The Love family of Ruston are big supporters of Tech. J.C. Love III was named Distinguished Alumni a few years ago. The stadium is named after Love, Jr. or Sr., I believe.
Does the Love family still go to games there? That must be pretty sweet to have a venue named after you.
Im sure some of them do. There are a lot of them around it is a big family.
Thanks. I was really just curious.
J.C. Love was a prominent part of the T.L. James & Co. highway construction family. He was a strong pillar of Trinity UMC and Ruston community leader (and obviously liked Pat "Gravy" Patterson!). His son, Jimmy, was long-time secretary-treasurer of the TLJ&Co. corporation.

I believe JC Love donated the "land" for the stadium sits on way back then.
