That ‘82 win was a really big deal. Jerry Stoval put together a great LSU team that year.

Was not a TV game. The liberty bowl game I think in 78 is my first memory of fandom, but this game was my first memory of going nuts about a game. Listened to it alone outside on a picnic table with a small radio on WWL

My dad had Tigervision season packages, sent me and my buddy to fetch a Popeyes 20 piece, plus large red beans and a dirty rice. Back when they were served in a 32 to 44 ounce styrofoam cup for like $2.75?..

Sent me with forty bucks, we came home with a twenty piece box plus two large sides, biscuits, a case of Coors, a six pack of Heineken for the old man..and still pocketed plenty of change.

LSU dominated much worse than the final score..demoralized the old Bear..a most glorious day.

Beating Bear Bryant in Alabama and Bobby Bowden’s Florida State, then losing to a 4-7 Tulane team is the most 1982 Jerry Stovall thing ever.

Imagine Brian Kelly beating Bama, then losing to 4-7 A&M times 100

I was a student at LSU at the time.
That was when we had just a few games on television and that was not one of them. I watched that game on closed circuit television in the Superdome with about 40,000.people. It was like being in the stadium.

Alabama couldn’t tackle Dalton Hilliard.
The biggest cheer came in the 4th quarter when the camera showed the Alabama fans leaving the stadium.

The doesn't do just as to how much of a dominating defensive performances this was, one of the greatest in LSU history.

I was 10 and I remember a joke that circulated not long after that game

Bear spoke to the team after that tough loss. Went into his office and sipped some bourbon.

Finally made it home to his wife, who he then asked, doll what time is. To which she responded 20 to 10. And that’s how the fight started.

Watched the game live in the Assembly Center on closed circuit tv with about probably about 3000 or more LSU fans - it was awesome - watched with my Dad and brother I was a high school junior at the time.

That game is my 1st memory of anything LSU. I was a military brat that grew up over-seas, and we listened to it on the radio in Holy Loch Scotland. Have been an LSU fan ever since.

I was there. Last game against The Bear. Cheap seats in one end zone. Defense dominated Bama. Offense did just enough in the first half to hold on for the win.

I was at that game. It was the first win against them since 1970. I was stationed at Maxwell AFB at that time and decided to get a ticket and go. The one thing I remember is how the defense completely shut down Walter Lewis and Alabama’s wishbone offense. I’ve always said that every time Lewis turned around, he was facing a purple facemask!
