It was the year before I went to LSU but my friend and future roommate at LSU (we went to high school in Maryland) called up all drunk after the game to tell me about it. He was screaming. Of course my dad picked up the phone.
Luckily my Dad was pretty cool and knew my buddy well.
That is the one game when people ask that I wish I was able to attend. Kentucky was #1 I believe.

I was there, but I was 6 so I was too young to remember much in vivid detail. I remember going to OT and having 5 starters fouling out and winning. Not much more than that.

One of Daddy Dale's finest accomplishments... I was headed to the game and girlfriend at the time talked me out of going. She later became my wife... then my ex wife... I never forgave her for thie!

I think it was 1978. I was there in the student section on one of the first two or three rows.

It was February 11, 1978. All five starters fouled out. Jordy Hultberg did come up big in that overtime. Even Rick Mattick got in at center.

Goose Givens made a errant pass in overtime and LSU won over Number 1 Kentucky 95-94.

Kentucky went on to win the national title that year.

I was calling the game for the local cable company for delayed playback before ESPN existed.
