As the story goes, Mac was bringing the team in to the hotel and some Hog fans said "Hey, look they actually showed up".

Mac said he didn't have to say a thing after that to get the team ready.


Yep. The pig fans spent so much time laughing at the Tiger faithful in Dallas before the game asking why they even came to see their team get beat. Then the win by the Tigers shut up the piggies.

It was one of my Dad's favorite LSU wins and he loved to mention it to pig fans.

I remember reading that when LSU stopped cold an Arky run up the middle on the first play of the game, Mac said to himself, "We're gonna be OK."

or words to that effect

I don't know if I am your Dad's age, but I was 16 when this game was played and it has remained one of the signature wins of the Mac/LSU era in my mind and heart ever since. An incredible effort by a clearly out-manned LSU team. They showed so much heart - and Cholly Mac showed Frank Broyles how to prepare a team and coach for victory.
