Name me a female football broadcaster that can breakdown offensive and defensive tendencies like Gary Danielson or Todd Blackledge? I'll hang up and listen.

Man, what a great day in my life

First off, these were sideline reporters this happened with.
And I won't get into a discussion about who's more subjectively qualified to talk football (there's a few woman I'd rather listen than Danielson), but regardless, there's good and bad personalities, in the booth and on the field. You're just going to assume all the women are doing it for a power trip?

Yep. Crowd went crazy. IIRC the band played "Pregame" too, in the middle of the 3rd quarter.
First and only time I've ever heard it outside of the 4th quarter, Victory Hill, and the start of the pregame show.

I watched that 97 game over and over on my VCR, repeating the Donaldson pick 6 multiple times. But that '07 4th quarter is an all time favorite stretch of football.

I was at 97 UF/LSU. Incredible.
2007 was a better game though.The stadium seemed louder than I've ever seen it

I just find it curious that suddenly all sideline reporters are these smoke shows ( except for Holly Rowe) who add nothing of actual value to the broadcast other than being eye candy. I'd much rather an ex-player like Lynn Swann on the sidelines than an easily offended woman who runs off one of the best announcers of all time.

I'm sorry, what?
And a sideline reporter is doing just that: reporting. Talking to the coaches, reporting on injuries, that's their whole job. The anlyisis comes from the booth.
And the Holly Rowe incident isn't what got him shite canned. Him berating a reporter prior to a bowl game and then calling her an a-hole did him in.

I actually find an attractive woman who knows her shite about football to be extremely sexy.
Maria Taylor is pretty hot but her knowledge makes her even hotter. I like Laura Rutledge too, even if she is a Gator.

2007 was a different feel. Everyone knew it was a HUGE game going into it and neither team expected to lose. It was also a (then) unheard of CBS night game. It was also a VERY warm and humid October night. The moment I will always remember was LSU scoring a TD to cut UF's lead. The crowd was going nuts.

It remains the only game where no one in my section (East sideline) sat down for an entire half. Young, old, it didn't matter. It's still the only game I've ever left feeling absolutely mentally and physically exhausted from simply watching a football game.
Well said. 2007 was awesome.

I own the SI magazine with KF signature on it that looks exactly like that.

All of this, great way to describe it. The stadium coming unglued is still the most surreal experience I’ve ever had in TS, maybe at any sporting event I’ve been to. It seemed like time just stopped and you could just FEEL the noise from the crowd for a sustained time, several minutes at least. Pretty sure they took a break in play for it. I couldn’t hear my friends talking right next to me. Absolutely bananas experience. It was that moment we agreed this game was different...it was something we’d be telling tale of for decades to come.
The 4th Quarter comeback, 5/5 on 4th downs, the Tebow phone call celebration all just raised the level that moment set. I have never yelled so much, lost my voice for a week. I walked out of that stadium on cloud 9, literally had goosebumps at what I’d just been a part of.
Something that is still nuts to me is there was ANOTHER all time classic TS moment a mere 2 weeks later with Flynn to Byrd. I was in the 2nd row of the student section right in the corner where he caught it.
That entire season was just incredible.

Atmosphere for that game was unreal! That was a true “home field advantage”. Every fan in the stadium going nuts!

YouTube reaction in TS after the score was announced
It was insane when it first happened. That video is loud as hell and still doesn't do it justice since it doesn't start until after the announcement.

Was at both, both were great, '97 will always be my best Death Valley experience. 13 in '97 23 in '07.
I agree. I was 15 in '97 and lost my voice for two days from screaming and running around the field post game. In'07 I was 25 and brought a Longhorn buddy who to this day says that's the greatest football game he's ever been too. They were both great but considering my age and excitement for lsu football '97 wins.

03 Georgia is the best game in Tiger Stadium history

I was 17 for the 07 game and went in by myself my dad had bought me a solo ticket in the northeast end zone. Had the absolute time of my life. Sat next to a guy who snuck 3 pints of crown in and was cool as hell
I remember as soon as Chad Jones batted down Tebow’s Hail Mary I started sprinting out the stadium to my car to beat the traffic so I could get home and watch the highlights with my dad. He was just as excited hearing about it as I was telling about it lol

I felt that way after 2012 LSU-Alabama.
I remember not getting up to leave as soon as the game was over and 75% of my row did the same...maybe out of pure exhaustion or frustration or both. It was eerily quiet walking down the ramps that night.
