Yes. It was terrible. Only good thing about that game was the foot long corn dogs at the concession stand.

Was there & was miserable, and I live in Orlando. I can't imagine how bad it must've been to travel in for that game and have a long trip home to think about how awful that experience truly was.

I was there. It was awful in so many ways. Muddy, cold, wet, awful Stadium.

I remember thinking how at least it was cool to see Joe Pa…..then the joy of that was ripped away too.

La Miles was the king of losing bowl games against inferior teams.

I called in to work for that game. I was so ticked. (I was willing to give up the holiday pay but I figured the game would go ok. Ugh) I was living in Orlando at the time. I lost out on my holiday pay and the field had been used for high school games the entire week leading up to that bowl game.

I didn’t think I’d be able to make it due to work commitments. It was a last minute thing and I drove damn near non stop to make it just in time to meet my daughter there right before kickoff. What a pig slop waste of a trip. Penn State’s fans after the game made it that much more unbearable.

People near LSU quit watching to go watch the Caterie burn down. What a lousy day.

We went down to Florida with another family. We did the Disney thing with kids. We were supposed to go to game but decided to not go due to weather and just being worn out. Our rental had a game room and pool. We had a great time at home with kids.

I wasn’t there but I sure froze my arse off in Shreveport vs. Notre Dame at the Independence Bowl around 1996-97.

But yes. Les’s ground-and-pound should have thrived in that game. Amazing that this program did as well as it did, including two national championships, with two absolute morons and buffoons for coaches who were also pieces of shite as people.

I remember it Les' cosch speech pissed me off. "The field was bad for both teams...it was an equalizer." No...it really wasn't. We had SEC speed vs big 10 white boys... a workable field for our guys to run would have been nice. Everything about that bowl was busch leauge

Trindon Holliday would have had a punt return touchdown if it wasn't for that damn shitty field.

That was a team with speed and the field 100% took away all the advantage from that and made it into a liability
