1988 Tommy Hodson to Eric Fuller in the earthquake game. We ran the same play 3x in a row but he finally caught it on 4th down, 1 min left in the game to win it 7-6.

I had been to many other games prior but this is the one play that I remember the most.

I think my first game was in 1979-1980 and I remember vividly walking out from the ramp into the stands. It was breathtaking.

I'll also never forget the Orange game... LSU-Florida State in 1982 when it literally rained oranges in the north end zone after every LSU score. Winner of the game went to the orange bowl that year. We won 55-21. I distinctly remember the oranges and the fog that rolled in that night (couldn't see the other side of the field it was so thick) but no one play stands out in that game. I remember laughing at the newspaper the next day when some guy complained about the ticket marshalls letting in the students carrying bags full of oranges. "What'd they think they were gonna do with those oranges? Eat them?"

Earliest PLAY I can vividly remember in person was Harvey Williams breaking a long run against Rice in '87. Williams had a few that game. I wanna say he was close to 200 yards on only 12-14 carries.

One of my fondest memories. Me and some friends sold peanuts as little kids and I can remember getting the oranges and selling them back to the students. When chief osceola planted the spear at midfield it was almost as if he ensured an arse whooping b/c the fans and players were not happy.
