Winning pass

I was there in the band. In the extended versions of the video, I am the third tuba from the left.

Getting sloshed and stoned in the student section, a fifth of Old Crow and a very nice little pipe of my friends, both were shared with others sitting near to us.

In the student section... LSU '87-'92

I remember being frustrated for most of the game. Seemed like the LSU offense couldn't move the ball at all against a fierce-some Auburn defense. Until that last drive.

I think the crowd was extra loud on that TD because of the frustration we were all feeling for most of the game.

I had a good view of the play and distinctly remember the relief I felt when EF caught that pass. Yeah, I was drunk and I hollered loudly and stomped my feet on the bleachers.

I was also smoking cigarettes, AT MY SEAT, the entire game. THE HORROR!!!!

Oh way more than that, and the 79 USC game. I tell you what I remember, Auburn beat the shite out of us for 47 minutes, I don't think we had three first downs until the final drive. And then Eddie Fuller dropped a TD before the TD catch. I felt like we stole something.

I wasn't there. I watched the game in auburn with a bunch of auburn fans. After the game I drove to Toomer's Corner waving my LSU flag out the window. Several auburn fans saw me and were shocked to see an LSU fan there. I had just transferred to their pharmacy school. I was elated when Fuller caught the pass.

Freshman year...student section...5th row in the corner. Those seats are so low that I think the only play I saw clearly the whole game was the TD....but it was worth it. I will never forget that moment. Lots of yelling, screaming, celebrating with strangers, and dodging liquor bottles being thrown from above!

Fuller didn't drop the previous pass, he was ruled out of the endzone by the ref.
