I believe that's the game that Corso put the Tiger head on on Gameday.

Nah, Corso said Jaqueline Green was going to (he whistled and spit all over the desk trying to imitate running all over us). He had to have picked UF.

I was there, with my late father! Great memories. Our seats were actually lousy for seeing the field as they were down on the very first row behind the LSU players bench the on about the 40 yard line. Of course the players stand the whole game so we really could only tell what was going on by the crowd reactions and stadium announcer Dan Bourne. I remember after one of the many huge plays looking ( may have been Donaldson’s pic 6) to my right and left the student section and non student section crowd alike was coming absolutely unglued. Drinks and assorted debris was flying in the air people jumping up and down and making a roar you wouldn’t believe! It was my all time favorite tiger stadium memories, in fact one of my all time greatest ever lifetime memories.

People of a certain age don't fully realize just how futile LSU football was from 89-94 and how much Florida dominated not just LSU, but the rest of the SEC. There have been many great games in Tiger Stadium since. But because of how consistently good LSU has been over the last 25 years, no one has gotten to experience the feeling of watching a true underdog unexpectedly slay the giant since that night
so true and very well said!

Lived on State St near Highland. About 2 am we were sitting on a tailgate in front of the apartment having a beer. A guy wearing nothing but purple underwear and carrying an LSU flag comes running down the middle of the street. A cop setup on the corner even stopped traffic for him as he ran through the intersection. A hell of a night in Baton Rouge.

Touchdown Tommy Banks!!!
Many LSU fans would LOVE to see a Fullback in the I-Formation for a few plays each game.

Pyburn would make a great Fullback!

Sat in south upper deck U17 and couldn’t hear the band it was so loud- in fact tiger stadium has never been that loud before or since and I’m talking about the ENTIRE GAME- it was otherworldly-
I was close to you in U18. (Tiger Band Buddy had Season Tickets in U18)

Tiger Stadium rarely gets "Otherworldly" anymore.

Damn shame what the LSUAD has done to the Atmosphere inside the Coliseum!.

I wish we could have that ATMOSPHERE in "Death Valley Senior" again.

Old School Awesomeness; just TGBFTL and LSU fans making A LOT of noise with their mouths.
