I'm drowning in a slow work day and was looking on youtube for some highlights of the game, but can't find any full game highlights. I find a fan clips from crappy seats, but nothing from the original broadcast.

Granted, it's Troy, and perhaps I'm the only football junkie that wants to see the comeback, but I'm not having any luck.

Does anyone have a link? I'd hate to have to get back to doing real work. Then again, these fries aren't going to cook themselves.

I think most of us don't. However, I'm surprised there aren't any 10 minute highlights put together by some other LSU fanatic.

may have been the most points we have come back from, but that game wasn't the greatest of anything

We stayed for the whole game even though it was cold as shite. Everyone was doing the angels in the outfield when we started coming back. Good times.

This.

This game and the 2010 Tennessee game are the two most embarrassing games I've sat through.

It's there, you just have to look next to the 2009 MSU, 2010 Tenn, and 2007 Tulane games.

for some unknown mind boggling reason their coach kept passing the ball instead of running clock

Thinking more about that night, the student section was chanting Russell Shepard, everyone was certain he would be the answer to our qb woes

Troy's quarterback threw 72 passes that game.

I havent watched a replay but I still don't know how the heck Troy blew that

despite it being cold and shitty, I had a blast in that final quarter...it was fun to just root so carefree with other fans, and it was awesome how loud it got with the fans that were left

I sat through the UAB loss

And the Houston near-loss in 1996

Oh, and 1998 - 2000

So did I, but those teams were not on the level of our current program.

True, but it was very embarrassing.

It doesn't get much more embarrassing than living in Birmingham and losing to UAB.

Had Troy just ran the ball 3-4 times in the second half they would have won

I think they threw a ton of incomplete passes

Really stupid, but lsu escaped a 6-6 season

I was there and it was a great game, but definitely not the greatest come back, maybe point deficit-wise, but not based on team quality.
