I was there, and as I have commented on many times, and it never gets old to me. Seen many many games in Tiger Stadium, nothing compares. Was on the side line with my then 7 year old when Nick came back for the first time and it was very loud as I expect this game will be, but not the same roar that seemed to get louder and louder. People stood the whole game, there was no let up. I remember looking out on the field and it was quite obvious how much bigger the USC team was, but becuz of the fans,and the constant roar that filled the stadium that night, LSU almost pulled off the impossible. I remember the hundreds of LSU fans who lined up around the USC bus, and started rocking the bus, yelling Tiger Bait, Tiger Bait as each USC player and coach stepped off the bus. Damn, I'm getting goose bumps again.

Present that night. LSU had great defenses and no one gave them a chance. Back in the day the cheer was Tiger Bait and none of the sophomoric BS we see nowadays. You could literally hear the crashing of helmets from the field. The proud people of Louisiana worked those games like a mule on a plow line. The air was electric, wafting with bourbon, and everybody worked up. For the people of LA it was Saturday night. My how things are so different.
