re: Where were you 17 years ago tonight?

I was a junior at LSU and my roommate and another friend got student tickets through the lottery. I thought I was going to miss out. But, on Christmas Day my cousin and uncle surprised me with a ticket. I sat with my uncle in the OU section (plaza level end zone). Spears’ pick 6 came right at me when he scored. I have a panoramic of the dome that night up in my home office. You can see me in my bright yellow vintage early 70’s LSU jacket (Mike climbing out of TS logo) that my future father in law gave me in the midst of the OU red.

What a weekend and what a night. I was there last January and that was maybe the greatest weekend of my life but 03 will always hold a special place.
