re: Tennessee vs. LSU 1967

Although the younger fans may not understand it, until the Saban-Miles era, Tennessee (when we played them) was as much of a nemesis to LSU as Alabama had been. The '59 team lost to Tenn the week after Billy Cannon's Halloween night run and we found a way to lose to them almost every time we played. The '72 team that beat Ole Miss with Jones to Davis as time expired turned around and lost to Tennessee in the Bluebonnet Bowl. That's made the big wins over them in recent years, including the two SECCG wins and the OT win the week after the UAB loss, particularly satisfying for those of us who remember all those losses.

Exactly this.

Which is why I have no desire to watch an LSU loss to Tennessee - from any year. I have had my fill of them.
