re: LSU vs USC footage from 1979

Please tell me there aren't USC fans on an LSU board arguing a game from 1979.

Nice try...but the Bush situation didn't even begin until the end of 2004. BTW, speaking of cheating... Looks like someone needs to pay better attention to the news. LINK No telling how long that stuff's been going on in SEC country.

The article specifically mentions Lyles' relationship with OREGON players as well. Thus, I'd say that there's no telling how long that stuff's been going on in PAC 10 country, either.

As to the original point of the thread, I was fortunate enough to attend both USC - LSU games. The 1979 game was a classic in a loud, raucous setting. The 1984 rematch was pretty much a snooze fest in an atmosphere quiet enough to allow you to go to sleep. That said, the LA Coliseum had hosted the 1984 Summer Olympics only months prior to the game and looked better than it had in quite some time. Outside of the easy LSU win, that's pretty much the best thing I can say for that day.

As far as all the 2003 title ad nauseum babble goes, both teams have their trophies and claim their titles, nothing will change any of that. We've both had a very good run over the last decade, so I'm quite happy with how things have played out.
