re: Which loss to Tulane was the worst: 79, 81, or 82?

'82 easily...that '82 team should have been playing for the National Championship...freaking tie against Tennessee, 3 point losses to Miss State and Tulane and then 1 point loss to Nebraska...

realize that was a 9-3 Tulane team ranked in the top 20, but I can’t imagine they had the talent of the Tiger

Different era, the gap wasn’t the same as it is now

I remember 82 not 79 and 81 but based on the record and the fact I was there I say 82. Coming off one of the most exciting games I can remember, the orange game against FSU, the Tulane loss absolutely sucked.

All I recall from '81 was being in the Dome with TU fans as bad as any fans I have ever seen. Like in your face soy cucks yelling LSU low life mother freakers we are beating the freak out of you. Beyond obnoxious. Beyond.
It was the poster child of winning with Zero Class. None.

After Foley was a foot short of winning at the end of the year before too.
TU Stadium was rocking and full of LSUCKS signs everywhere.

82. If I recall, LSU was a 5 TD favorite. The weather played a part for sure and RR was hot but both teams played on the same field.

There is absolutely zero reasons to play tulane. In the past 25+ yrs, they have never sold their allotment of tickets to games in Tiger Stadium.. Note that there are no tulane ranters here clamoring to play LSU.They have no interest in playing LSU. Every chance their athletic dept. has had a chance to screw LSU for various games in N.O. they jump at it, using LSU money to subsidize their athletic dept. They have also demanded that any series be home & home: their pretty little stadium in Up Town N.O. sits mabe 50K. LSU usually clears a million plus for home games. Do the math. And the main reason there are no SEC games on Friday nites is a gentleman's agreement not to have area high schools go up against college football.
