LSU wins, they just to 3rd in the polls which was a HUGE deal back then.

Its tough to say how great the '86 and '87 team were. They were both the best in the conference those years. Another poster said it best. We just had not learned to get over the hump as a program. We shite the bed against an average Bama team without Hodson, and never should've tied OSU. Beat a very good A&M team on the road to start the season.

'86 was probably a better team but was Hodson's first year and was still a little green and we had two silly home upsets while a double digit favorite. VERY fun but frustrating two years as a student. People getting together to form massive tailgates was in its infancy and was untamed and awesome. You could park anywhere on campus, side of the road or the median for free, including motor homes, a honda civic pulling a 16 ft trailer, or a Ryder rental truck.
