For Those Who were There - Rate the LSU/Neb '76 Crowd.

I was at that game as a 10 year old. Vince Ferragamo was their quarterback but thats all I really remember...and I probably only remember that because I kept the program. I don't remember how loud it was but I remember I was sitting right next to my Dad. He is gone now but the memories are not. Take your kids to the games if you have them.

didn't LSU only lose to nebraska in lincoln 10-7 the year before ? carl trimble fumbled a key punt in that game if remember reading correctly ..

eta: also, linebacker rusty domingue killed someone that night after the 1976 nebraska game ..

i remember game as an afternoon game,lsu big underdog....lsu good defense not much offense..
was exciting game because of close score...

lsu had lost confidence in 75 and carried over
in 76 ...offense lacked scoring...

game was nothing compared to ole miss games
in early 70's or notre dame ...usc..

the lsu teams in early 70's were good enough
that with a little luck they could have been in a
national champion game...by 1976 things were
not the same

This was my first game as an incoming freshman. I had been in the stadium for many games growing up including Notre Dame.
Tigers hung in with the Huskers, and sitting on the 45 yard line (the student section went from the 50 yd line around to the north stadium in those days), I thought at first, that Conway had made the FG.
Crowd was good, atmosphere was good.
What I remember, however, is that our LB who had a great game and blocked a FG, was arrested later that night after a bar room brawl in which someone was stabbed. Tragic event.

I've always been told that Mac made sure the turf grass was kept taller than normal for that game. The reason was that UN had a lot of speed & the taller grass was an advantage to LSU because it slowed down UN. I was also told by someone who followed the Tigers closely back then that their coach said he would never play @ LSU again.

I wasn't at the game, but my little brother was selling cokes that night in TS. He was probably around 14 then. When he got home that night he was so happy. He said one of those crazy drunk tiger fans had given him a $20.00 tip. Back then, that was pretty good money for a teenager.

Excellent game, I was in the 10th grade at that time and Tiger Stadium was rocking (not as loud as the USC game in the fall of 1979) but definitely electric. I believe Rusty Domangue either blocked Nebraska's extra point or caused the kicker to kick wide but anyway they had a touchdown with a missed PAT and we had 2 field goals. Unfortunately, Rusty got into trouble later that night but is now a preacher and a wonderful person. Shuck those Huskers Tigers.

It was my first game as a freshman. A night game but hot as hell waiting in line early to get in. Nebraska was #1 coming in so crowd was hyped, but not up to USC '79, which is gold standard IMO. As others have pointed out, Rusty Domingue blocked a kick to save the game then stabbed someone in Tigerland after the game.
