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

I was there. It was my freshman year. Sat through the whole game with a buddy who now posts a lot on the MSB.

What I remember most was the Booty pic costing us the game, and then apparently he was having dinner later that night at the Chimes and laughing and carrying on. As it would be, the SRA of my dorm that year (a big ole mean SOB) was sitting at the table next to Booty and kept sarcastically asking him "what's so funny? Did you see the game? We lost, quit laughing!" It was funny hearing him tell the story in a thick Meraux accent.

The following week one of the Reveille sportswriters who normally wrote disparaging articles on the team actually wrote a good "Braveheart themed " article about Rohan replacing Booty and leading LSU to victory over the Vols that coming weekend.

Rohan did just that, leading LSU to victory in one of the biggest wins in over a dozen years, officially starting the Golden Era of Tiger football that we are still enjoying today
