I was there also. Excellent game. We laughed for years about one of our friends who left before the end. We called it "pulling a Whatley."

I had a similar situation at a Tulane game in the 80s. It was the game where the two teams got into a bench clearing fight. The refs called the game with several seconds left.

We missed it all because my friend wanted to beat the traffic.

The only thing I saw was a clip on the news where an LSU player had a Tulane player on the ground in a head lock and punching him in the face through his face mask. Sorta a metaphor for the way the game went for Tulane.

A similar situation happened to my brother-in-law during the 08 Bama game. He left early only to miss the blocked Bama field goal to put the game into overtime.

I stayed.
