Geeze, tough crowd.

I thought it was a cool arse link, to see that much color footage from a game that old.

Refs cheated. Horse collar at 8:01 and too many men on the field at 20:04.

WTF kick a field goal on second down with 34 seconds left. Cmon Charlie Mac you are better then that

that '67 team was really a hard luck team. Placekicking did them end. Missed a fg at the end of that Tennessee game that would have tied it. Missed one that would have beaten Miami, missed an extra point and fgs vs Alabama in a 7-6 loss and missed an extra point in a 13-13 tie vs Ole Miss.

It's hard to remember that we could go 6-3-1 and get a Sugar Bowl invitation. The Tigers handled an unbeaten Wyoming team, which if I remember correctly featured Jim Kiick in the backfield.

Although the younger fans may not understand it, until the Saban-Miles era, Tennessee (when we played them) was as much of a nemesis to LSU as Alabama had been. The '59 team lost to Tenn the week after Billy Cannon's Halloween night run and we found a way to lose to them almost every time we played. The '72 team that beat Ole Miss with Jones to Davis as time expired turned around and lost to Tennessee in the Bluebonnet Bowl. That's made the big wins over them in recent years, including the two SECCG wins and the OT win the week after the UAB loss, particularly satisfying for those of us who remember all those losses.

If you were ten in 67, you were probably still in high school when Mac beat Tenn the one time he ever did, during the ill-fated "Year of the Tiger" in 1974. That team was projected in the Top 10, looked like a million dollars in the opener against Colorado (a very good team in those days) and then fell flat on its face against the Aggies. Beating Tennessee for homecoming that year was one of the bright spots in an up-and-down year.

Who was 45? He was all over the field making takles. Remember the game well. My dad and I were riding around listening to the game. I was 16.

Exactly this.

Which is why I have no desire to watch an LSU loss to Tennessee - from any year. I have had my fill of them.
