re: Outrageous moments in Tiger Stadium history?

1993 Tulane Sea of Bourbon & Coke Curley Hallman's era. Not many there to see it. We were playing Tulane, and a male Green Wave cheerleader took a flag and was running around the entire stadium. When he passed the student section, he was doused with cups. We watched him get back to his partner cheerleaders, and he seemed to enjoy it so he got a couple of buddies and they made the trip again. I was near the bottom of the student section, and as the cheerleaders were nearing the student section I turned around and saw throngs of people running down to the lower section, cups in hand. A sea of coke, crown, and other liquids came raining down on the cheerleaders as they passed with the Tulane flags.

I remember that. It was my freshman year right after we upset Bama. The Band used to be in the NW corner, so we had a great view of the incident. I think Tulane had just made their one score after the Tigers had gotten up big. I remember the cheerleader with the flag and I'm pretty sure Tulame's Gumby looking mascot was with him or them, too. I just remember that everything that wasn't nailed down in the student section hit those guys. It was hilarious.
