I was there! My last year at LSUMC. And I was at the game earlier in the year when we lost to Notre Dame (Equally cold and shitty weather). And it was a dish best served cold just like that cold pizza I dropped on some douche bag’s ugly arse jacket in front of me.

Vengeance for losing to ND in the regular season


I remember going to that game. It was a miserable afternoon, dark, rainy and cold.

My wife and I made our way up to S'port for the game. Heard it was going to snow, didn't want to miss out on that. We had great seats. Great game, too. Best part was watching some dude slipping while trying to balance a hot chocolate in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other. Pizza went flying into some dude's Tiger Starter Jacket in front of him. Classic. Whole thing took a split second but the pizza seemed to hang in the air in slow motion.

I know the fan that ran out on the field with 10 seconds left. ESPN announcer said it looks like LSU fans have had to much to drink. Friend had to watch last play on Notre Dame sideline next to Bob Davie.

I love telling his family about this.

I was there. The old Stadium has never looked that good before or since. Tickets were being advertised in the Dallas papers for hundreds over face value. Sleet began coming down as we were headed to the stadium. Temperature was around 40, but it was wet and windy. I remember watching the replay and the look on Herb Tyler's face when the streaker ran past the huddle. One of Shreveport's finest leveled him.

Game was called by the iconic duo of Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried.

Would rather more than the all whites

I'd go purple before the gold but white helmets just look too generic for me if they're not over purple even with the awesome logo.
Hell, I'd even go all whites (grudgingly) if it was under the gold hats.

Was there...it was awesome! cold as shite but awesome...

Sat first row north Endzone with my grandpa(RIP).

So many Tiger fans it was like being in BR!

Also,the Wednesday maybe Thursday before the game i got access to go watch the Tigers practice....because it was an open practice all they worked on was punt team stuff. Still super cool to stand behind the punter and see a kick like that...

also because of all the weather they moved the practice to LSU-Shreveport's parking lot so they were practicing on concrete...non contact obviously.

Very close to the top of the coldest games I've ever attended. Glad we won though.

Back when the Indy Bowl was great.

Easily the coldest I’ve ever been during a game. Was a 9th grader. I remember staring at the Golden Girls and my dad saying “good luck son, they all marry senators.”

I drove there and back from Jennings with my girlfriend (now wife) that day in the sleet and cold. Was a lot of fun.

Mom brought me to that one. We'd go to the games every yeah. Alwyas loved those LSU ND games and the Snow Bowl. Good times.

I was there, was excellent! Total revenge game.

Mealey totally dominated after Faulk got hurt.
