I was in 8th grade, we'd gone to a Shaw H.S. football game, but listened to the end on the radio. I was heartbroken. That atmosphere in T.S. carried through on the radio, you could just tell how it was.

Listening to the post-game show with John Ferguson and Doug Moreau, with the crowd still in the stadium and cheering for at least a half-hour. Man, a benchmark night for LSU football.

Prayers up for the repose of LeRoid's soul.

Only game I can remember where LSU got a standing ovation from the fans after losing a game.Still ranks as one of the greatest games I've ever attended.

Immediately thought about that TD against USC when I read the thread title.

So was I. Dad had us season tickets in the Southeast upper. Top three of most incredible environments I've ever experienced in Tiger Stadium. Very possibly #1.

Yep. It was truly amazing, from opening kick all the way through to the end.

Me too man. I posted this before and will again... I don't mind admitting that when we got back to my Uncle's tailgate I sat down on the ground, leaned back against the left rear van tire, and cried like a baby. LOL.

RIP to Leroid. Thanks for that incredible memory from September 29th, 1979.
