1995 Independence Bowl - LSU vs Michigan St.

I was there. It was cold.MSU was not without talent; Flozell Adams, Mucin Muhammed, and Tony Banks all played at the next level, along with a couple more. The infamous Saban turtleneck made it's first appearance in Louisiana. Eddie Kennison ran back a punt or KO, don't remember which.

I didn't know Satan wore glasses back then, but that wasn't a good look by him.

what a season that was. we shut out Arky even though they won the west.

pet peeve of mine is the NCAA not counting bowl stats in season totals until about 10 years ago. because if you tack on Faulk's Indy Bowl numbers, he'd have 1000 yds for his freshman yr, and 4 straight 1000 yd seasons for his career.

I had to go to College Station to visit a project site. Watched the game in my hotel room. And it was exciting to see the Tigers in a Bowl Game.

I was at both Indy bowls and that was by far the loudest that stadium has ever been. It was like Tiger Stadium Jr.

The 97 game was the coldest i've ever been in my life, but the drunkeness helped substantially.

I was there and this is the game that I became a huge LSU fan. I always pulled for them and was and LSU fan but this is the game I became a TRUE LSU FAN!!! Oh and I froze my arse off but was to drunk to care!

Kennison got my attention in that game, when he flatfooted over the fence on an out of bounds play. The Michigan players had trouble getting back over the fence.

I remember the game like it was yesterday. The wife and I sprung for $75.00 a ticket to a ticket broker on a $35.00 face ticket. Her parents lived in Bossier and watched our daughter. I got hammered to fight the cold. Remember Kendall Cleveland having a good game but Faulk tearing it up.

Thought we turned the corner and "were back" then 98 and 99 hit...

Still can't figure out what happened to Dinardo. I think he had problems keeping good asst coaches. Who knows?

One of my most awesome LSU memories was at that game. I was standing in the endzone section against the fence and Eddie was in the end zone waiting for the TV time out to end. He was interacting with the LSU fans in the end zone section and I started chanting "Eddie, Eddie" and it spread through the end zone section and up into the bleacher section. They kicked and he housed it.

When I got home I had recorded the game and before the kick off I could hear that chant I started on TV.

A game I will never forget. My wife and I had made the trip from ATL to Baton Rouge for the Arky game and ended up sitting in the Alumni Box...thought we were big stuff getting to sit up there with Dr Roberts and others and enjoyed watching LSU race out to a 28-0 halftime lead over the West Champions and with this we secured the Bowl invite from the Indy Bowl. I can not tell you how excited I was to go to that bowl game, made the drive from ATL (it seemed like the longest drive of my life) with my wife and a friend. The game was awesome, yes it was cold but that made the experience all that much better. I just posted on FB the other day the memory of going out on the field when the game was over...it was like we won the NC!
