Flynn to Byrd

I am sitting in my seats I can see the clock 30 seconds. For some reason it took forever to snap the ball. Matt Flynn throws to Byrd and he Catches the ball with 1 second and clock runs out and LSU beats Auburn on the last play.

Yep, that's it. I do not know why but that's the play. I guess I can't believe it took 30 seconds to run the play. I thought we had a few more plays to run with 30 seconds.

Until 2020 we had season tickets since the 70's and this is the play that I always think of.

Actually, the clock didn't run out on that play. There was time for the kickoff after the touchdown.

Must have been the late 70s, otherwise you would always remember Bert Jones to Brad Davis on the last play of the game to beat Ole Miss, 17-16.

But yes, I remember Flynn to Byrd as well. I thought we were playing for the winning FG but it was just Miles' poor clock management that allowed the clock run down to that final play.

Basketball, 1986 in the tourney against Memphis State in the PMAC. (Wasn't the PMAC yet, but still...) I still think we were the lowest seeded team to ever make it to the final 4. I was a senior. My Chi-O girlfriend's mother hooked us up with mid-court seats way up in the upper deck. Tip-in at the end for the win? All I remember is hauling arse from the UD, jumping the scorer's table and getting cloths-lined by a huge state trooper. Those were the days.

I do believe the 2003 national championship ended on a punt.


And if I am correct, our deep snapper and shyrone Carey got caught selling their ticets.

Think about that backup deep snapper screwing up that snap. …..I believe that wa the case.

Whenever I die, it will be 7-10 days earlier than God's original life's plan, because of that play.

It’s a great play but I was 9 years old for the Earthquake game & I will forever remember that play of all plays. Hudson to Fuller on 4 & goal. I even remembered the 3rd down call which was the exact same play but they called Fuller out of bounds.

Nothing will replace the '59 Halloween punt return.

2/3 the way up the north end zone in direct line with his run. Pandemonium

Les Miles looked like a genius that night but when you examine it closely that was one of his many clock snafus.
