I was a freshman in Tiger Band for that game. At the time, Tiger Stadium capacity was officially only 68,000. There were 70,000+ in the stands that night--in the student section, people were sitting in the aisles.

For pregame, I was on the field, and the sound was unbearably loud--it hurt my ears. As the team came out, the stadium was rocking--the ground was shaking. As we played, I wanted to gauge how loud the sound was, so I pulled my trumpet away from my mouth and screamed as loudly as I could scream---I couldn't hear myself.

I still get chills when I think about that game!

After the game was over, everyone was in a festive mood, so we stayed in the stands and played music for the crowd for 30 minutes--The stadium was filled except for a small area in the Southeast end zone, where the Ole Miss fans had been seated!

Good times!!

I was a 14 year old sitting in south upper section right above where Jones threw the TD to Davis. Perfect view of the play.
Pandemonium! My big brother (an LSU student) started kissing the girl next to him who he didn’t even know.
I knew right then I was going to LSU when I grew up.

I was fortunate enough to be a student at the 72 Om game was at the Flynn to Byrd Auburn game.

Awesome!

ETA: My son and I were in the south end zone when the Tigers blocked the FG to take Bama to OT. OT sucked but that block was pretty damn exciting.
