I checked: it was. So the last time we played there at night we lost. Your point is empty. It should read:
LSU hasn't played at Auburn at night since 2000, and they lost.

You people are all nuts. Everybody knows that the most important factor is the day of the month. Auburn typically does best against LSU on dates which are non-prime numbers greater than 1, provided of course, that they aren't divisible by 5 or 11.

Everybody knows that 5 is a very lucky number for LSU, but the 11 is a little harder to explain in relation to Auburn. You may wish to consult your personal astrologer/numerologist/voodoo clairvoyant on that one for a more thorough explanation. In any case, the pattern is quite clear. In the last 10 games, this factor is a perfect 10-0 in deciding the winner.

Beginning in 1998...

AU victories on: the 18th (1999), the 16th (2000), the 26th (2002), the 18th (2004), and the 16th (2006)
LSU victories on: the 19th (1998), the 1st (2001), the 25th (2003), the 22nd (2005), and the 20th (2007)

Now you may ask, "Why start on 1998? I've noticed that this trend doesn't hold before then." Ah, very good question!

The obvious answer is that when Tepper arrived as defensive coordinator at LSU, he ripped a wormhole in the space-time continuum of the college football universe, thus allowing a rapid reverse shift in the polarity of the LSU-AUB series. Thus, you see that the same rule can be applied in the exact opposite fashion to determine the winners of the series before 1998...

1997 on the 20th: Auburn wins
1996 on the 21st: LSU wins
1995 on the 16th: LSU wins
1994 on the 17th: Auburn wins
etc.

I hope this clarifies things.
