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.

I can still see Shawn Burks, running full speed and clothes lining 2 Tulane players in the endzone

I was there, southwest corner of the endzone, down low. I was trying to scream something to my brother who was right next to me, he couldn't here me. I also remember after the game, everyone hanging around on the ramps watching it over and over on the monitors. awesome experience
