From Sacked by Bob Brodhead, p. 78:
Arnsparger insisted that the players be given travel money and allowed to drive their own cars to Memphis. Can you imagine ninety football players, ranging in age from 18 to 22, who live for five months of the year with every second of every day planned for them, suddenly having cash, freedom and wheels in Memphis for the holdiays? Neither could Memphis, and the Liberty Bowl staff told me afterwards that the team absolutely terrorized the city for one solid week.
On the field, the quality of play certainly reflected the good times had by all. Baylor embarrassed the Tigers for four quarters, and when the gun mercifully sounded, the final score was 21-7.
There were probably a few bar fights involving LSU players that week.

That 1986 Liberty Bowl was just sad. I tad ahead of my time, but I know the guys who participated and even they just shake their head.
