Whats up with the endzone painted ND?
Also I've noticed in old videos the shrubs around the field. Anyone know when those went in and how long they stayed?

Hamilton was my hero.

I was a Boy Scout usher, troop 256. In those days access to the field (or anywhere in the stadium) wasn't too difficult, so my buddies and I walked to the ND sidelines and got several Irish cheerleaders to autograph our caps

I was at that game too. I was a junior at LSU and lived on campus that year. That was a great game but during my time at LSU, we had many great games at home and away. Archie playing with a cast on his arm was a great game. LSU and OLE MISS were big rivals back then. I loved the game where we beat Ole Miss with one second left on the clock. Ole Miss claimed that time ran out and LSU added a second to the clock. TBH, most LSU fans thought that time ran out and we lost that game. With that second left on the clock, LSU kicked a field goal and won the game. The state of Miss. was so pissed that they erected signs on the borders of the two states that said you are leaving La. set your watches ahead by one second. Those were good times.

Wasn't Art Cantrelle supposed to be a badass fighter? Not saying he couldn't/wouldn't/didn't stomp mud holes on the reg, but I expected him to be a bit more fierce looking.

Thanks for posting this I. I just finished watching all the way thru for the first time. Shocked that we called a timeout with 12 seconds left leading 21-8 in order to score another TD. I guess there was no such thing as running up the score or rubbing it in back in those days.Cholly Mac definitely was not known for being outlandish by any means. But that was an awesome game by the defense and jones and Hamilton.

I was on my recruiting visit to LSU that night. Had the pregame meal with the team (steak, spaghetti, pancakes were the options), then watched an LSU hype video before the game.
Wild atmosphere. They ushered us into the tunnel near the end of the game so we wouldn't get trampled by the fans. The locker room was crazy after the game. Got to talk with Casanova, Mike Miley, Cantrelle in the locker room and at the the dorm.
Brad Davis was my host and roommate for the weekend. We went to all the fraternity parties. Talked at length with Bert Jones the next morning in the training room, went to breakfast with assistant coach Dave McCarty. Good times.

I was there as a 13 year old. Tiger Stadium was rocking that night.

Thank you for posting this. It brought back a great memory for me.
I was 7 years old, sitting with my Paw-paw. It was my first game in Tiger stadium.
We sat pretty low behind the LSU bench and I vaguely remembered the LSU players trying to quiet the crowd. I didn't understand that, but at 7 years old, I didn't understand much that I was witnessing.
Until watching that, I didn't realize that the referee called a time-out to get the LSU players to quite the crowd so the Notre Dame players could hear the signals. I laughed when I saw that. I had to rewind it and show it to my wife. Can you imagine a referee asking LSU player to quite the crowd these days?

At the game as a high school senior, guest of Delta Tau Delta, watching Andy Hamilton and his cousin, Bert Jones eat them alive!

I love when the entire offensive line sets/flinches. Oh, what it must have been line to be a defensive lineman back then.

4th Grade. Watched this game with my dad on our COLOR TV at home in New Orleans.
This game was bigtime payback for the previous year's 3-0 loss in South Bend. That's the main thing that made it so special. Revenge.
Jones to Hamilton... those were special days.

I was there too, my junior year. Night game, national television, Notre Dame...
The the explosion at the end of the '72 Ole Miss game (last second Jones to Brad Davis TD) was the loudest crowd noise I ever witnessed in Tiger Stadium, but the '71 ND game was the loudest sustained crowd. From the pre-game player introductions to the end, everyone was yelling and never let up.

I was so upset because i couldn't go, but I listened to John Fergurson's call and even every Texaco commercial, and I remember what the radio looked like and where Dad and I where when we listened to the game. I loved Ferguson, but Dad was bothered by him when watching and listening at the same time, because he would stretch out the play call "He's t the 15, he's at the 10, he's at the 5, touchdown!", while the player was already in the endzone. Oh the days. I wanted to be Tommy Casanova so badly.

I was up early in the morning in Baumholder, Germany listening to that game. It was great!
