I was there! My parents filled up a bathtub at The Belmont with beer, wine and ice. Got pretty sauced. South Endzone. I still say the crowds back then were louder (per capita) with more "electricity". Good ole days when they just played for the love of the game.

Thank you for posting this. It brought back a great memory for me.
I was 7 years old, sitting with my Paw-paw. It was my first game in Tiger stadium.
We sat pretty low behind the LSU bench and I vaguely remembered the LSU players trying to quiet the crowd. I didn't understand that, but at 7 years old, I didn't understand much that I was witnessing.
Until watching that, I didn't realize that the referee called a time-out to get the LSU players to quite the crowd so the Notre Dame players could hear the signals. I laughed when I saw that. I had to rewind it and show it to my wife. Can you imagine a referee asking LSU player to quite the crowd these days?

Avondale88,
In the '72 Ole Miss game, with one second left, Bert Jones threw a 10 yard pass in the left flat to Brad Davis, who caught it almost backing up into the left corner of the SEZ. Then Rusty Jackson kicked the extra point to win 17-16.

You are right. Some of the loudest games I ever heard was when the stadium held 67,500 people.

At the game as a high school senior, guest of Delta Tau Delta, watching Andy Hamilton and his cousin, Bert Jones eat them alive!

Mine, too!!!
First play was an LSU halfback pass for a touchdown. Then we blocked an extra point and a field goal to beat Pat Sullivan and the Plainsmen (Yes, I said Plainsmen! They didn't start calling themselves the "Tigers" until the 1980s...)
As Principal Skinner would say. "Oh Mercy!....."

I love when the entire offensive line sets/flinches. Oh, what it must have been line to be a defensive lineman back then.

4th Grade. Watched this game with my dad on our COLOR TV at home in New Orleans.
This game was bigtime payback for the previous year's 3-0 loss in South Bend. That's the main thing that made it so special. Revenge.
Jones to Hamilton... those were special days.

I was there too, my junior year. Night game, national television, Notre Dame...
The the explosion at the end of the '72 Ole Miss game (last second Jones to Brad Davis TD) was the loudest crowd noise I ever witnessed in Tiger Stadium, but the '71 ND game was the loudest sustained crowd. From the pre-game player introductions to the end, everyone was yelling and never let up.

Whats up with the endzone painted ND?
It was common in college football in those days to paint one end zone in the visitor's colors.

I was so upset because i couldn't go, but I listened to John Fergurson's call and even every Texaco commercial, and I remember what the radio looked like and where Dad and I where when we listened to the game. I loved Ferguson, but Dad was bothered by him when watching and listening at the same time, because he would stretch out the play call "He's t the 15, he's at the 10, he's at the 5, touchdown!", while the player was already in the endzone. Oh the days. I wanted to be Tommy Casanova so badly.

The camera man seemed to be extremely fond of one particular ND cheerleader around 41:00 and some others, but particularly at 43:33.

George Bevan blocked the kick directly in front of us.....Dad was a LSU letterman & back then they got free tix....we sat about halfway up on visitors sideline on about the 30-35.......

With that second left on the clock, LSU kicked a field goal and won the game.
your memory is short circuiting. no field goal. pass to Davis (Brad?) in the corner of the end zone. I thought the stands were going to collapse.
it was the night I met my future wife also.

I remember that game very well as a child. Loved beating them and watched every play.

I was up early in the morning in Baumholder, Germany listening to that game. It was great!
