Does anyone have information of the 1932 game LSU lost to Centenary, 6-0?
The Tigers got two TD's called back by the zebras, who lived in Shreveport. The game was played in S'port which is notorious for home-jobs.
I still lose sleep wondering "what if" about this game...

I was there I just remember it was pretty cold and we were wearing our Nike Pro Combat uniforms. I vaguely remember a few holding calls that were questionable.

Absolutely we were robbed. We had them down late in the fourth quarter. They had fourth down but there was a face mask penalty against LSU. Back then all face mask penalties were 15 yards and a first down. After the penalty was called no one knew which official threw the flag.

Yeah.

Huey was so pissed off over the loss, he had the officials flea-dipped, using the excuse that all animals (zebras included) must be dipped. He then cut off all state funding to Centenary, so they had to become a private school in order to survive.

We should have never been in the position of having the refs decide the game. But what do you expect when you get up into Yankee Land? South Louisiana should have seceded from the union.

Robert Parish scored Centenary's lone touchdown.

Then they figured out he was black and didn't let him play again for another 40 years.

Gotta know the answer to this, my wife went to Centenary and brags about that game to this day.


I then tell her at least LSU still has a team.....and that usually ends that.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Our whole team got the flu. Can you believe it? The whole team. So we had to go to a second team store.

Centenary College has always been a private school and yes, at that time they had a football team. Interestingly enough, they had garnered a bit of a reputation and were known as " the little school with a good football team". I do not recall in my readings when the program disbanded, but am aware that they embarassed some pretty big schools in their day. For those who don't know it, one of the buildings of the original college campus still stands in Jackson, LA, which is where the college was located prior to moving to Shreveport.

That would put most of the participants and spectators that are still alive right at ..... 100 years old? Even if they were/are alive they probably don't remember much. Almost as bad as the Baltimore Ravens no-call for holding which will last an eternity as well..
