re: who else was in the stands when UAB came in to BR?

I was there! I remember thinking I knew this fricking dolt of a coach who lost to Dinardo in the Independence bowl sucked!! We in fact did play highly ranked Tenn the next week. I also remember a writer that covered Tenn wrote a scathing article about The Myth of Tiger Stadium. That it was over rated and that the program was dead. That was back in the day of Geaux.com message board and the article was posted all over the board and read over radio stations that talked LSU. The atmosphere going into that game was great. It was like the fanbase took it to heart and Tiger Stadium was not going to allow LSU to lose! One of my favorite games of all time.
