One of my first memories as an 8 year old in TS. Sitting on West sideline near student section. That game certified by love for Auburn series. I wish we played them annually.

Had tickets and couldn’t go was at a conference in Indianapolis and listened to the game in the parking lot on a short wave radio. Still regret not being there.

I was at a Prince concert in Hampton, VA that same night. I wasn't about to miss that (still the best show I've ever seen), and VCRed the game.


I didn't end up seeing the TD pass to Fuller until about 6am. Lucky for me, there was no internet then, and it was virtually impossible to hear about the game at all there, so I ended up watching it like it was live.

I’m there. I’m in the upper left corner of TGBFTL. There is a longer version of the video where I can see myself as the Tv camera shows the band.

I was there with a LSU alumni friend.We stopped for gas and let the traffic die-down about 5 miles from the stadium.There was a young kid(gas attendant) who was out pumping gas when LSU scored.He said he could clearly hear Death Yalley roar.

Living here in Georgia, I had to listen to it on WWL cuz my cheap arse old man wouldn’t get us cable.
Something about the radio games makes fandom a little more personal and legitimized.

My dad and I were in west upper. I couldn't see shite, as usual up there, but the crowd told us how it went down.

i cant remember if it happened in front of us (student section) or at the far end of the stadium.

my brain is telling it was both so like you, i may have had to listen to the crowd reaction to know what happened.

my adrenaline was at an 11 out 10. i could have tossed my dad 20 feet in the air
