LSU vs Tulane 1984 that ended in an all out brawl

I still see it in my head. I was in the north end zone and the brawl happened in the south end zone. All of the EBR deputies were on the north side near the students. The deputies start running on the field after it all started to break it up. Imagine some rather fat, out of shape deputies running a 7.0 40 trying to get there to break it up.

In the video that was shown on local tv, you see a tulane player taking off his helmet to fight (how stupid) and I think it was Burks who just nailed him. Burks kept his helmet on.

My dad used to tell me about that game. He was there, said it was like the ending of Animal House.

I can still see Shawn Burks, running full speed and clothes lining 2 Tulane players in the endzone

In 6th grade at Central Middle school he was walking towards me between classes and kicked me square in the nuts. To this day I still don't know why he did that.

That was my first game in TS

I was there, southwest corner of the endzone, down low. I was trying to scream something to my brother who was right next to me, he couldn't here me. I also remember after the game, everyone hanging around on the ramps watching it over and over on the monitors. awesome experience

my memory is of eric martin leaving the sideline area and hauling arse to the end zone to join in the melee. he was interviewed on the post game show after the game was over and he said he was in a hurry because he didn't want to miss out on one more chance to take the greenies down.

I'll never forget that. Before the game started I was telling my friend that I wanted to see a bench clearing brawl. No lie! My wish was granted and it was glorious!

I think it was Tommy Clapp who said on the news after "I got my licks in."

"I think he may have started that fight"

Nope. Wally English admitted the next day or during the week that one of the Tulane players started it all......

It was only like my second or third LSU game. We were sitting above the visitors section. I couldn't believe how long it went. I remeber just as soon as it seemed like everyone had calmed down, 2 or 3 players started going at it in the corner of the endzone and it started all over again.
