Just trying again, have to think someone has video of fight that ended this game early in TS. Thanks

Hawthorne had the call as "Hunt just caught a fist from the Nebraska, I mean Tulane player, in the face and now the game will go to overtime, or nevermind, they are ending the game early, thank goodness I get to go home before 11pm"

I have it, but there's a mandatory five year waiting period. Sorry.

my uncle was on the team that year and he has every film from every game from '83-'86. Next time I see him I will ask him.

Actually the game was technically over when the fight broke out. Thats why the fight broke out. There was very little time left. Inside a half minute as i recall.

I was pretty young but we were headed for the exits when it broke out. I want to say there was two plus minutes left and I think they - Tulane - were inside their own 20. I vaguely remember (I think) a picture of Ron Sancho with a Tulane helmet over his head hammering somebody in the Advocate the next morning.

Edited for clarification.

I remember watching the game live on TigerVision, and I think at least part of it was shown. I definitely remember John Ferguson referring to the fight

The '84 Tulane game/fight and '87 game with them is quite sought after video footage.

I remember this when it happened. Didn't it all start with Wickersham and a Tulane cheerleader fighting on the sidelines or something?

Hawthorne has been dazed and confused on the air since at least 1984. Sweet.

That may have been another fight. 1981 was John's last year broadcasting. Hawthorne took over in 82.

He retired from radio at that point. He came back to do TigerVision coverage for a few years. He retired for good in 1987, according to the link below. I watched the '84 LSU-Tulane game on TigerVision and he was the PBP announcer.

I was 9 years old at the time and remember watching this game on Tigervision. I think that was the night that I decided that I had to go to LSU when it was time for me to go to college. I've been looking for footage of the fight for years.

That was my first year at LSU and I have no memory of this (or much else for that matter).
