re: LSU 61 Ole Miss 17

i was a sophmore in the student section. i remember there was a rush to the field with time
still left on the clock that completely engulfed
the lsu and ole miss players....i can't remember
the lsu player but he was returning a punt headed
into the mass of students in the north end.

that was a culmination of a crazy ole miss week
with mess hall food fights, panty raids and pep rallies all week.

i believe not long after that game they erected the metal fence around the field and did away with the hedges in north end zone

I was 5 years old and it is the first game that I remember. The week leading up to the Ole Miss game was huge back then.

1977 ? Tommy was tearing it up for the Bengals in 1977.

1977 was the year Carlos Carson went off on Rice in a 77-0 win.

How many of the "Older and Wiser" on here (Besides me) were actually IN Tiger Stadium for both the 61-17 and 77-0 games?.............

I was at the 77-0 game.

I was at the 77 - 0 game too. The day LSU won 61 17 I admit I rooted for Ole Miss (I was in HS). I baby sat because ny sister had a date and I covered for her. The kid is now a US Marine Colonel. Also that day expolsion at oil tanks in Elizabeth blew out windows 5 miles away.

For The Sunday Advocate photos of the game...

1970 and Archie Who got his paybacks. Too bad he had a broken arm at the time.

I was there for both. 61-17 "orange" game was my first game in Tiger Stadium!

That was the "original" orange game, not the 1982 FSU game. I was at both. I was also at the Tulane game after the second orange game.
