quote:What I soo hate about that is that apparently the fans thought that score announcement was more important than anything going on on the field. Because most everyone points to that moment as the single most emotional momment in T.S. history not an actual in game event. Typical, dramatic, flightly LSU fans to not be able to see the forest because of the trees. THey get so bored so easily that the bigger focus is always not what's going on on the field. Its other games in other stadia, its traffic on the surrounding highways, its what for dinner, its what's on tv at home on the couch or its outside on the tail gate. Never is it LSU's actual football game.
i'll never forget what it was like, when they announced the Stanford-USC score

Well the stadium was already rocking because we just scored a touchdown. That moment let it last even longer. The whole stadium was going nuts for 10+ minutes straight
Pretty weak point on your part

i was at the game and even then thought it was so stupid that people cared whether a pac-10 team that we hadn't played in 20 years won or loss... just my opinion lol just funny how time has shown how little that USC-Stanford game affected LSU then or now

It's not even close. The loudest game ever at Tiger Stadium was 1979 USC. I have seen every big game since, and no game had the fan participation like the USC game. For people who were to young to attend I will share this info. The fans that night stood the entire game, and cheered without interruption. Every fan stood up the entire game including the upper deck.

LSU doesn't win the National Championship if USC doesn't lose that game...USC probably does
So I'd say that it was pretty huge

Precisely. It's amazing that some peeps can't "get" the impact that game had on LSU and possibly gave more motivation to win and go for it 4 times on 4th, etc and so on.
Oh and can't believe no one has done this yet but... Damn it was loud

Wow so, so, wrong.
I was at that game as a student.It was by far the best sporting event I've ever been to. The crowd went absolutely nuts because it looked like the stars were aligning for us to beat Florida and make a national championship run. People cheered because USC was knocked out of contention for a national title by Stanford which was not nearly the team that it is today at the time.
There was also a lot of hate for USC because of the whole "shared" title thing in 2003. I remember those purple and gold FUSC bumper stickers being everywhere. So there was a feeling that David had just killed Goliath and Goliath was your most hated rival. It also fed the feeling that we were destined to win that game no matter what Florida did . The fact that we kept converting those fourth down tries helped as well.
It was awesome.

USC wins they go to NC.
Opened the door for us. Was very important that Stanford won. 90,000 people were waiting for that result, was very exciting.

and no, people in the stadium heard that a team ranked in front of us lost and were still celebrating the touchdown.
Then OO-eeee-Oooo played after.
So that game had a huge impact on LSU's football history, despite what you said in the previous post

had zero impact on lsu football history... 112 teams had critical losses that year that helped us reach the national championship..
it's really the unnecessary insecurity that many fans had as if our 1st national championship in 50 years ('03) was somehow less significant because usc got to say they shared it
Posted on 4/21/14 at 7:56 pm to madddoggydawg
If I'm not mistaken, USC losing and LSU beating Florida meant that LSU would be ranked #1 DURING the season...something someone under the age of 49 has never experienced.
AMIWRONG?

So does LSU make the national championship with a 1 loss USC?
I gues the WVU-Pitt game had zero impact too
They were also ranked ahead of us. We were #2, they were #1...
Keep ignoring that LSU had just scored too

as another poster previously pointed out the fans should've been concerned about the game in front of us because we had no idea by game 5 in the season who was going to be in the national championship race and the only thing that mattered was beating Florida . I cared about the touchdown but for some unknown reason most of the other fans cared more about a game over 1000 miles away. and for some reason that moment still gets talked about more than the fourth-down conversions even though after the fact we can prove unequivocally the usc-stanford game didn't matter any more than any other loss by any other team in the nation that helped us get to the national championship game with two losses. if you were excited about it whatever that's your decision but it just shows how people got mixed up in some BS rivalry that never existed all because they couldn't accept the fact that our national championship was just as good in 03 whether or not we shared particularly considering how long it'd been since we got to say that at all.
what I do remember is saving my breath to cheer when the defense was on the field rather than going ape shite over a Pac-10 game

Tim Tebow will be relevant for the history of CFB. He was truly one of the all-time greats. While one may not like the gators (I don't), I have nothing but respect for Tebow. Great talent; great competitor.

You keep throwing out this fallacy over and over again.
Why would you need to save your breath?

or they wanted LSU to be the #1 team in the nation

Well most people are able to hold more than 1 thought in their head at a given time. I guess the fans should have been gameplanning during the break
