The only thing I can think of that compares to the 1982 Tulane game was this past year's loss to Florida. Both were completely inexplicable

That was A GREAT season...

48-7 the year before I consider the worst loss ever for LSU in any sport.
It was back when Tulane actually still had a fan base and they were as bad as anything imaginable that night. They also beat us in the PMAC the first round of the NIT around the same time and it was similarly brutal.

Yea, I remember that 48-7 shellacking in the Superdome. It was horrible. The Tigers got behind 34-0 to a mediocre at best Tulane team. They had a huge crowd of their own fans (that's unimaginable nowadays). This was the últimate humiliation for an LSU team, worse than the 1993 and 1996 blowout losses to Florida, IMHO.

That was reason enough to fire Stovall right there!

LSU head coach Stovall sits few seats from me at the baseball games. He is as gracious and friendly as he was back in 82

And to lose to a bad Tulane team at home was unforgivable.
Yeah, I remember that well. We beat the hell out of Bowden's boys and then collapsed against the 'Tulies. I remember filing out of the student section, and we get onto the concourse and some dumbass was celebrating the Greenies win. Dude got his arse kicked but good, seemed like everyone around was getting a lick in.

I was at the game, Legion Field Bham. Tigers killed the Bear that day. The old drunk retired after that season. The bama fans wanted to hang him after that game.
Unlike today, we didn't ever "Lose" Half-Times to opposing bands. Never!...............

I was there too. Freshman at LSU and we drove over. Dominant defense and it broke an 11-year losing streak to Bama. One the most exciting games I've ever been to.
And that was the beginning of the end for the Bear, literally.

The loss to Tulane in the NIT (spring of '82) happened a few months after 48-7. LSU baseball wasn't an broad appeal sport yet so it was a rough athletic season.

Yep, for those who are fortunate enough not to have lived through when Tulane had a fan base, I've never been one of those who has all these horror stories of opposing fan bases. My experiences have been largely amicable with all of them. Those Tulane fans were the worst though.
We also lost to UNO at home the next year in the NIT.

That LSU db, Liffort Hobley, was he any relation to Ratphuc?

watched that game on closed circuit t.v. with about 2000 or so other Tiger fans at the PMAC on a big screen t.v.
I was there too!!
Holy hell that place was absolutely rocking!! What a phenomenal setting it was.

I was a student at LSU at the time. That was before the days when every big game was on TV. I watched that game on closed circuit TV at the Superdome with about 40,000 people cheering and acting as though they were in the actual stadium. Alabama couldn't come close to tackling Dalton Hilliard. Great experience.

Regarding the 48-7 loss to Tulane being discussed earlier: The thing I remember about that game was that I had the misfortune of watching it in the Superdome with a friend of mine who is a big Tulane fan. Late in the game LSU was trailing 41-7 and Tulane was lining up for a field goal. My friend said "I don't believe this, they are going to fake the field goal". I told him he was crazy. Why would they bother with a fake field goal in that situation? Sure enough , they faked it and walked into the end zone for the TD. Caught LSU completely by surprise. I asked him how he knew. He said that their field goal kicker {Vince Manalla from Chalmette} was wearing a shoe. He was a barefooted kicker and every time he wore a shoe they called a fake. If people in the stands knew that, why did our coaching staff not know it? I told my friend, "That's all right, let Tulane run up the score tonight. I just don't want to hear any complaints when the tables are turned".

There's some trivia within that factoid.... name the two legendary SEC coaches that retired within days of losing to LSU.
