On this date in 1984 the Arnsparger era started with the first 'SEC Game of the Week'

On this day in 1984 LSU and Florida tied, 21-21. Florida scored with about 5 minutes left and kicked to tie. LSU then missed a 46 yard field goal with :41 left.
College football through the "CFA" led by a lawsuit by Georgia and Oklahoma was starting to allow teams to play more and more games on live,free television each season. LSU played 4 games on TV in '83, 2 in 1982 and 2 in 1981.Two of LSU's televised games in 1983 were on WTBS cable out of Atlanta.
In 1984 they started their "SEC Game of the Week" which then became JP game of the week, Lincoln Financial game of the wee and now the SEC Network 11:00 am slot.The first SEC game of the week was this LSU at Florida game.

Michael Brooks damn near took Lance Kerwins head off the first play.

if admin would have just upgraded facilities and shelled out a few bucks back then.
if only....
what if arnsparger coached here for a decade or more? pretty sure we're getting a natty out of that at some point. one of the greatest defensive minds ever.

How the hell did LSU lose to Miss State?? Cost us the SEC Championship. Which we still should have been awarded since Florida was ineligible

Sure would have liked to see what LSU might have done had Arnsparger stayed for ten years or so.

the Arnsparger era
I totally read that as "the Asperger era" and all I could imagine was in 1984 there was a bunch of socially retarded kids running around after the first SEC Game of the Week aired.....anyway, carry on

I couldn't find this game uploaded on YouTube. I remember watching the last minute or so on a TV at Cortana Mall and saw the kicker miss the kick for the win and see Arnsparger get ticked off. I'd love to see the whole game for the first time. A tie at Florida against a good Florida team in his first game as HC was a good sign.
