re: Best stories from the student section

The ole Miss LSU Game used to be played in Jackson Miss. They set the Ole Miss Student sections only a few sections apart one year in early eighties. (They were about equal in size) So both student bodies played red rover red rover and someone would get shite faced and every one would goat then to going to to rival student section and waiving big rebel flag, or Tiger flag etc. which would immediately result in that person getting pelted with whiskey, beer, bottles etc.
(People were generally throwing the plastic pint bottles etc so no one got killed etc.) This went one the whole game. Our turn then yours.

Finally, in the forth quarter this crazy sob came stubbling over wearing a LSU helmet, flipping every one off in ole miss section, May have mooned everyone too, And every damn ole miss fan with a drink, bottle etc threw it. ( including glass) It was most amount of shite thrown at a game I have ever seen.

Police had to take him to nurses station, but he was far too wasted too care just keep flying the bird.

Both student sections were laughing their asses off of what a drunk idiot that guy was.
I am pretty sure LSU won the game but honestly that’s all I can remember about that game. Good times

It was a 11 a.m. Jefferson pilot special when LSU hosted South Carolina and it was a quagmire. I was in the truck as part of the production. I think that night the Yankees won the World Series in 1996

watch the guy throw an orange and then get hit in slo mo at 2 minute mark

'm pretty sure the rain of oranges was the 1982 season. But the upper deck wasn't opened until the 1983 season, I think. 

Anyhow, I do recall the rain of oranges

Positive the West Upper was there and not only oranges were raining down from up there through the fog, but the cushion bottoms of stadium seats. They would just appear out of the fog like UFO frisbees..it was really kind of dangerous!

Sometime around the '09-'11 seasons there was a highly rated recruit who walked by the student section and someone tore off the cover of a pizza box from the concession stand and made a "letter of intent" on it for him to sign. He eventually signed it and everyone went nuts.

I think it was Ray Drew who eventually signed with UGA

Oh yes indeed you are correct. LSU had beaten Bama and seemed on its way to Sec title and then lost the next week to...........................anyone? MooMoo State. Still had high hopes to play in Orange Bowl vs Nebraska if they could get by FSU. Dalton Hilliard scored on a pass and long run atc from Alan Risher which ended right in front of the student section and he stood there just staring up at the fans and they rained oranges on the end zone. I was shocked because I didn't know anything about the oranges but somehow the word must have been spread for everyone to bring in a few. Never forget Hilliard just standing there with all those oranges.

I remember this game. It was the wear white game vs miss state. It poured down rain at half time and the student section became a wet t-shirt contest. Hopefully I didn’t get hit by your dad’s pee.

Whoa, I remember this. It was actually a huge turning point in the game. Crowd was starting to fade a little when this happened and it livened up the crowd at a critical point in the game. I remember it for that reason because we talked about it afterwards. These guys deserved a game ball.

I remember Saban on the radio show saying that he probably should thank them because he said it woke the crowd and the team up.

West upper deck opened in 1980

From LSU's own website (LINK ):

The original upper deck atop the west stands was completed in 1978, and it added 8,000 seats to the stadium's capacity.
