Does anyone remember the 2000 LSU-Alabama game?

"When Ahmad Galloway broke that 55-yarder, Tiger Stadium was silent, it was a classic "not again" moment. After the craziness of the '98 game, I was pretty much prepared for anything to happen. And it did. A few minutes later, two of my fellow students stormed the field and managed to evade security just long enough to offer the Crimson Tide bench a full moon. That got the crowd back into the game and LSU ended the home losing steak to Alabama by beating them 30-28

The Replay Game
This was before replay was around. That place was going fricking nuts

2000 LSU 30 Alabama 28
Amid the backdrop of the 2000 presidential election match up between George W Bush and Vice President Al Gore, LSU prepared for a date with the Alabama Crimson Tide. This was again not a very good Tide Team. They had been beaten by Central Florida the week before, but LSU had not beaten Alabama in Baton Rouge since 1969 and the Tigers were anxious to turn the tables. LSU and Alabama went back and forth. The Tide opened a 21-14 lead in the 4th quarter, but LSU roared back and scored a touchdown, but missed the PAT. Not to worry because LSU quickly forced a Bama fumble and Kicked a field goal to go up by 2. A very pivotal point in the game occurred with about 7 minutes left as a Tiger receiver appeared to be run into by a Tide player and he fumbled the ball. Replays would later show that he was blocked into the player by another Tiger. LSU recovered the ball, but the officials were mistakenly about to give the ball to the Tide. The Jumbotron was played over and over again showing a Tiger recovering the ball. Finally an official looked up and realized that LSU was in rightful possession of the ball. LSU took the ball and drove for a touchdown to go up by 9. The excitement wasn't over as LSU got the ball back and on 3rd down, Josh Booty inexplicably ran out of bounds on 3rd down with around 2 minutes left in the game. This gave the Tide enough time to drive down and score a touchdown to close the gap with 9 seconds left in the game. The issue wasn't decided until LSU recovered the ensuing onside kick. Fans stormed the field once again to celebrate the first win over the Tide in Death Valley in 31 years and the clinching of a winning season as the Tigers stood 6-3 at this point.

I loved when trev Faulk put a late hit in Andrew Zoe after the whistle blew but it was so loud nobody heard it. That got the crowd going early in the game.

I was at that game and those dumbasses should have been barred from TS for life. I remember watching Saban lose his mind over it.

I assume this is misprint meant to say "They beat themselves against Central Florida the week before?"
Cool story though. I had no idea.

The refs knew if they gave that ball to Bama, in addition to being the wrong call, they would have had to sleep in the stadium and be taken to the airport in a SWAT van in the dead of night.
The crowd was that serious.
