re: 10 years ago today: LSU lost to Tennessee, LSU beat Tennessee

I was pissed, turned off the TV, and went outside to drink a beer after the "loss," and missed watching the "win." Lesson learned.

Les Miles should have been fired in the tunnel after that game. My God, looking back at that sequence and watching it again, how can a major college program be so unprepared for a situation. Just unbelievable.

I was in SEZ 409 for the whole game. I've never been so mad at a game in my life. I started stomping on the bleachers and cussing my brains out when we "lost." Then went ballistic when we "won".

F**king Les Miles

Holy shite this one was awful then fun! After we toss dove it us in the student section went fricking insane....when the smoke cleared some dude had hurt his leg so bad he had to be carried out by his buddies lol

I was trout fishing on the Chattahoochee north of Atlanta that day and was following the game closely on the iPhone. As it was drawing to a close, my wife took the helm and dropped me off at the ramp so I could go bring the boat-trailer back down to leave the river for the day.

I sat for a moment in the truck glued to my phone and was even able to get a faint signal from WWL's AM broadcast on the radio up here. I was so relieved when LSU won on the penalty play that I totally forgot my wife was patiently waiting for me in the boat at the ramp, and I drove off with an empty trailer. No boat, no wife, and just happy as a clam for the win.

... Until the phone rang thirty minutes later and her very irate voice asked me what in the hell was taking me so long. (Thank goodness she has a good sense of humor!)

I was at a sports bar where they have speakers outside. I was so disgusted by the game, my bill was paid. I bailed the second the ball sailed over Jefferson’s head.

I’m in the parking lot about to get in my car when I hear the announcement there was a flag. Ran back in for the final play.

LSU Auburn 2016

Watched this one in a bar with other LSU fans. I don’t think anyone was watching the game anymore when we won. Husband was closing out the tab when I started screaming and jumping around. Looked at me like I was crazy but all I could do is point at the tv.

Remember it like yesterday. Had to drive my son to a prom party where everyone was taking pictures and i stayed in the car to listen to the end of the game while my wife went to take pics of the prom kids. I listened to Jim Hawthorne describe the end of the game and I was just in disbelief of what i was hearing...game over we lose...but wait a flag on TN? I was like OMG just run the ball here, then boom TD, we win. Great radio theatre.

Exactly.

LSU should have demolished that Tennessee team. It was inexcusable that they had a chance to win. They were awful and Miles decided to make them look decent, so Tennessee removed all doubt by throwing the game away.

I knew people who were unaware LSU had won even hours after the game because they walked away from their TVs.
