You are right. That was the future. I did get wet by the way. A better one would be the moon comparison. I have never looked it up, but am certain that ot was there before I was born.

I am 100% certain of: USC was rarely mentioned on this site, other similar LSU website forums, in the local newspapers (other than as much as other teams of similar records and stature), or on local sports radio, or really talked about much prior to 2003 and certainly not in the context of a rivalry of it.

Rocket, surely you realize that my statements were not intended for submission to a scientific journal. Some things are true, even though the event has not been witnessed by everyone. This is one of them. If you want proof, go check it out.

That's still a bad comparison because we know all about the moon; it's common knowledge.

It shows you registered in 2006 on that one too.

You may be right but you don't know first hand.

So, in other words, you know you didn't know for sure but you feel confident about it

I attended both USC - LSU games. I was a student in 1979 and was stationed at Edwards AFB (near LA) in 1984. Both games could not have been more different. The 1979 contest featured a #1 ranked USC team that featured the likes of Charles White, Marcus Allen, Anthony Munoz and Ronnie Lott. LSU was playing its final season for Charles McClendon and was determined to send him out in style. An incredibly exciting contest that went down to the wire, played in front of what many former USC players say to this day was the loudest, craziest enviorment they'd ever experienced.
Flash forward 5 years to the LA Coliseum. 2 teams having good but not great seasons, lots of empty seats and little if any noise coming from anyone but the 5,000 or so LSU fans in attendance. A game dominated by LSU far more than the score indicated.
This hardly seems like the stuff of rivalry legend to me. All of this is really just media tripe and message board fodder.
Bottom line, if LSU were to ever play USC, I wouldn't look at it as any kind of "crusade" game, just another game I'd hope to see the Tigers win. I'd only place a special emphasis on it if both teams met up with the NC on the line.
Right now, all I care about is ASU and the fact that the long, hot dog days of summer are nearly over...let's play some football.
