This game is beginning to feel to me like Florida '97.

This is the first game since then that I've had that feeling even though now as well as then I knew we had a good shot at winning.
Even though I feel good after a win and feel bad after a loss my whole world isn't wrapped around a bunch of kids playing football. I love going to the games having been going for almost 50 years. I've always liked the atmosphere surrounding the games with all the excitement and crowds and hootin' and hollerin'. It used to be the several fights during every game that was to be looked forward to. I recall times when no one was watching the game but everyone was craning their neck to get a view of the Deputy's running up the steps and carrying someone out of the stadium - often you could see the blood from all the way across the stadium. I wonder when the last one of those happened. Ask any old-timer about it. It was an every-game occurrence.

I hope it turns into an epic battle like last year's regular season game. We need a few breaks but going for 4th down 5 times and making it will help like '97 Fla. game. We need the Mad Hatter to make a guest appearance. Geaux Tigers!

I got escorted from the stadium for "saluting" the Gator fans as I was on my way back to the motor-home in the second quarter because the party was still going on out there and I just wanted to keep on partying. We watched the rest of it on TV and had a ball all night long that night.

Is this game really feels like Florida '97, then this program is in deep trouble.

feels nothing like any game in my 25 year LSU football viewing history

But unlike 97 we match Bama's talent level. We don't have to play the perfect game to win, we just need to play competently on all sides. We were badly out-talented in 97, yet played above ourselves for most of that game.
