Best LSU team that I remember before this century. Didn't go to a bowl game and ended up ranked 6th. Broke every offensive record for LSU at the time and I believe gave up less than 10 points a game on defense.

It is truly one of the great LSU teams that is never talked about. It is somewhat overshadowed by the "Archie who at LSU" in 1970 game that the Tigers won 61-17, but that 69 team was awesome.

My dad was senior and played for the Tigers in that game. He still laments the loss, but hates ND even more because of the whole bowl fiasco at the end of the year! Doesn't help that I am a notre dame fan!

That game cost us the NC in 1969. Maybe this was payback for the several times we cost Ole Miss the NC during the previous decade. Of course Ole Miss solves that problem Alabama style by claiming the NC anyway. On Saturday night let's win one for Coach Mac and his '69 Tigers.
