re: Anyone else remember the Lamabe years?

Daigeaux, you must have early Alzheimers 'cause we won the first game of a three game series 6-3 at the Box and witnessed one of the greatest displays of honesty and sportsmanship I've ever seen!
Ga. was leading 3-1 when the LSU batter hit a foul ball down the right field line with 2 runners on base. The home plate ump called the ball fair and the runners scored to tie the game.
The ball was clearly foul to everyone but the ump, who was an old dude that wore those thick coke-bottle lensed glasses.
Sitting behing the Tiger dugout, which at that time was the 3rd base dugout, I can still hear Jim Smith as he walked out and said, "I can't take that!" He walked up to the ump, told him it was a foul ball and put the runners and batter back. We scored anyway and won the game 6-3.
We went to Ga. for the other 2 games, had a 5-1 lead when the rains came and had to play again the next night where we won the title. I remember waiting out at Ryan field til 4am to meet the team that was weather delayed.
At that time, LSU had it's own plane, an old C-47 that was painted with Tiger stripes. Bombo Saizan, the catcher, told me he thought they were gonna crash, the plane was jerked around so much.
Man, I loved that team!
