24 years ago today, unranked LSU beat #5 Auburn in Tiger Stadium, 12-6. The game was only available on Auburn Network, not even TigerVision picked up this game. The game started at 7pm and ended at 9:23pm. The crowd of 80,559 was the second-largest at the time. Auburn came into the game averaging 61 points, but was held to six by James Gillyard, Gabe Northern and Co. Jamie Howard threw five INTs in the ‘94 Auburn game, three being pick 6s. The only INT of this game was the game winner, with Troy Twillie intercepting the ball with Patrick Nix throwing from the Tiger 15 yard line as time expired.

I was there and it was amazing. When that ball was picked, the stadium exploded. It was so much fun.

ETA: I was also at Auburn the previous year (I was in Tiger Band) and saw Howard’s epic meltdown. I was very impressed at the way he improved before his senior season and got redemption. He was solid in that game and it was great to see him bounce back from such a tough outing the year before. You have to respect that.

That was an amazing day! I was in 10th grade me and my buddy had a fall baseball game that day. My parents were attending the game and my brother and one of his buddies (going in my place) We finished the DH early and we raced to the stadium.
We didn’t have tickets paid 90 bucks for two tickets in the south end zone. We got to the top of the hill just as the band hit that note. I will never forget that site or sound!We had 10 bucks left got 2 nachos and 2 drinks park our buts in the south end zone. Needless to say my parents were shocked to see us! They were a few sections over. I wil never forget that night neither will my buddy. Sadly he passed away unexpectedly at age 21 in a bad car wreck. I still talk to my parents and his till this day about that night!

I was there in the student section. “Exploded” is a good word. My ears were still recovering almost an hour after that game. I seriously thought my eardrums had ruptured.
