One of many incidents that caused bad blood with Tuberville.
Then in 2001, 9/11 caused week 3 to be moved to the end of the season. The season played out so the FU-Tennessee winner would win the East and the Geaux Tigers-fAUx Tigers game determined the West. Before the game the warchickens danced on the midfield logo and got a 15 yard penalty. Saban did a surprise onside kick.
Then at halftime their kicker wouldn't get out of the way of the Tiger band when it was leaving the field. They just shoved the idiot out of the way.
Can't be emphasized too much...The 2001 revenge game clinched LSU's first appearance in the SEC Championship Game which was huge. At the time everyone in the West except LSU and Ole Miss (still today) had made it, and it was hard to even consider LSU a good program until they crossed that barrier.
