I still see it in my head. I was in the north end zone and the brawl happened in the south end zone. All of the EBR deputies were on the north side near the students. The deputies start running on the field after it all started to break it up. Imagine some rather fat, out of shape deputies running a 7.0 40 trying to get there to break it up.

In the video that was shown on local tv, you see a tulane player taking off his helmet to fight (how stupid) and I think it was Burks who just nailed him. Burks kept his helmet on.

Sophmore year and I sat in the student section with my girlfriend. At least 6 fights in our section by intruding yats from mandeville.

I have distorted video of that game logged in the deepest part of the "drunken collection" in my brain from that night.
Tommy Clapp body slammed a player after he grabbed him from the sideline. The state police running out there to stop it was pretty funny too. It was funny as hell to watch.

My dad used to tell me about that game. He was there, said it was like the ending of Animal House.

my memory is of eric martin leaving the sideline area and hauling arse to the end zone to join in the melee. he was interviewed on the post game show after the game was over and he said he was in a hurry because he didn't want to miss out on one more chance to take the greenies down.

I'll never forget that. Before the game started I was telling my friend that I wanted to see a bench clearing brawl. No lie! My wish was granted and it was glorious!

I think it was Tommy Clapp who said on the news after "I got my licks in."

It was only like my second or third LSU game. We were sitting above the visitors section. I couldn't believe how long it went. I remeber just as soon as it seemed like everyone had calmed down, 2 or 3 players started going at it in the corner of the endzone and it started all over again.

I was 11years old and was at the game with my grandfather. (I was born and raised in Tiger Stadium and even though I was his first grand daughter he took me to all the games) Our seats are in Section 1 Row U so we were right there. I can remember my sister wanting to leave and my grandfather told her no we weren't leaving until the end of the game because there were gonna be some sparks at the end. Sure enough, it was on!! I think that was when I realized how much I really loved LSU football!! Have been bleeding purple and gold ever since!
