re: A Question to the Old Timers - Is the Vibe Similar to USC circa 79

As an "old timer" that was part of the LSU student section for the '79 game, I'm qualified to rant.
Similarities: #1 team coming in, night game, most "experts" picking LSU to lose, loud stadium expected
Differences: Minimal talent gap between the teams, far more pre-game media exposure, more relevant to national CFB picture, 15K more butts in seats, prime-time national broadcast
Can't read the vibe from 500 miles away, but I would expect there to be a lot of buzz in anticipation of the game.
If the noise is = or > than USCe a few weeks back, & it should be, McCarron can forget about any cute check offs at the line.

I was there, and as I have commented on many times, and it never gets old to me. Seen many many games in Tiger Stadium, nothing compares. Was on the side line with my then 7 year old when Nick came back for the first time and it was very loud as I expect this game will be, but not the same roar that seemed to get louder and louder. People stood the whole game, there was no let up. I remember looking out on the field and it was quite obvious how much bigger the USC team was, but becuz of the fans,and the constant roar that filled the stadium that night, LSU almost pulled off the impossible. I remember the hundreds of LSU fans who lined up around the USC bus, and started rocking the bus, yelling Tiger Bait, Tiger Bait as each USC player and coach stepped off the bus. Damn, I'm getting goose bumps again.
