Audio of the last 2 minutes

I heard Bert Jones recently say the clock operator was his second cousin.

I was a freshman in Tiger Band. After Steve Lavinghouse missed the field goal, we started playing Tiger Rag, over and over. The team responded by going the length of the field and the rest is history. We played music in the stands for 30 minutes after the game. Nobody left, except for that empty section in the SE stands where the Ole Miss fans were seated!

Bert has jokingly said that for years. Usually follows it up by saying he’s never actually met the operator from that night.

Who the frick downvoted the OP?

I read somewhere that after the game, Ole Miss's student newspaper had a headline that read OM 16 LSU 10 + 7. And the next year, after we beat them 51 - 14, the Reveille's headline was OM 16 LSU 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 3 + 3.

For me, John Ferguson will always be “the voice of the Tigers.”

Remember this game like it was yesterday....Was sitting in the North end zone with my fraternity. After the game we stormed the field and helped pull down the goal post. Several fraternity brothers were able to walk out the stadium with one of the uprights and carry it back to the fraternity house.
