re: 1972 LSU Ole Piss -- Last 3 and a half mins

I was at that game, my second year in law school. I don't recall any LSU fans leaving early. You just somehow knew Jones was going to pull the game out.

Here's what I wrote about that game in a post a few days ago:

November 4, 1972. LSU 17 Ole Miss 16
In law school at the time – the famous one second game (you are now entering Louisiana, set your clocks back one second). Great 4th quarter drive by Bert Jones. Often overlooked is that LSU was heavily favored in this game. The Tigers entered the game 6-0 ranked #6 against the 4-3 unranked Rebels. Should have easily won by two touchdowns.

Thanks. I was a senior at NLU in Monroe and headed back to my apartment across campus when the OLIN dorm exploded with noise -- I knew the only thing it could be was TIGERS WON! Thanks again. Great memory of a great game.

Yea that must be wrong, only current LSU fans leave early. Back then people would stay and chant LSU until the stadium lights went off the next day.

"Most of the LSU fans had left by mid way though the 4th quarter..."

I don't recall this at all. I remember thinking that only a handful of LSU fans had left. Funny thing about memories.

I don't remember fans leaving either. The Stadium was still packed.

west sideline for me and I remember the stands being very full as well

Thanks for sharing! I was there. That was back in the days when Ole Miss really was our biggest rival. No matter who we played, when the game was over, we would walk down the ramps screaming Go TO Hell Ole Miss Go To Hell! I don't remember anyone leaving that game early. Ferguson was great! One of the truly great games in the series between LSU and Ole Miss

Hard to believe this was the scene 38 years ago

We were in the southeast endzone on the goal line below the webel band and students with a clear view of Brad scoring. We were actually waiting for the stands to clear some at the end of the game until the losers above, in their true tradition, begin to throw whiskey bottles hitting one lady in the head.

a great night alright,thanks for the playback

great link thanks.

I was 12 years old and my dad helped run a concessions stand in South U-10. Me and my two buddies watched the start of the drive from U-10. We headed down tward the field after the first few plays watching each play from the overhang on the ramps. (There were no bleacher there back then) We made it to the sideline for the final play only to find so many people on the sidelines we could not see the field. We started to head back up when my buddy said, Just watch the crowd we will know if they score.. A great night in deed.

I got Billy Cannon's autograph earlier that night as well. He sat on the front row of U-10 back then.

I don't remember many leaving that night either. I think they were all on the sidelines.

Geaux To Hell Ole Miss !!!
