This is what I recall as well. I was at the top of the student section, but no one sat the entire game!!! We were up yelling and screaming our heads off all game.

And I still love the pregame festivities when Florida fans tried to mock the student section with their "Work 'Em Silly Gators" banner to only have it taken by a student, thrown into the student section, and ripped to shreds.

I was in the student section that night as well, and I can confirm NO ONE sat down in that section the whole game. I as so exhausted after that one it felt like I'd PLAYED in the game. I also remember smelling like rum and coke from all the plays that students threw their drinks in the air to celebrate.

Still the greatest college football game I've ever attended. I still own the Sports Illustrated with Faulk on the front AND the Reveille that came out on campus after the game.

I remember standing in my South Endzone seats the entire game. Boy what a night!

Was there

That game made me an LSU fan.

Awesome game. I was in the student section and couldn't hear the band.

I was there!

I can’t think of a better night to have been in attendance at Tiger Stadium.

The only game that can top it (of games I’ve attended home and away) is the 2001 SEC Championship.

Well, maybe the 2002 Kentucky game, that was a hell of a ride!

I'm pushing 40 now, that will always be THE GAME for me. I've seen alot in that stadium, but that tops them all.

I remember Faulk telling Lee Corso after the game that the hurricane Tigers came through Baton Rouge, in response to Corso saying pregame that it would take a hurricane coming through Baton Rouge for the Tigers to win.

After the game there was the game day recap and LSU fans stormed the game day area (before they had nets and security) and began chanting “Corso’s a homo!” While they were filming live. Then fans started throwing drinks at the set. The crew was soaked.

Thus the nets behind the game day set and fencing to keep fans away from the set.

Also, peak tiger stadium was when they allowed the students to throw drinks after a score. That was awesome to watch when we scored.

I've never heard anyone else mention it but some students held up a huge sheet in the endzone that read:

tigErs
Spank
sPurrier's
johNson

Of course a little double entendre with Florida's starting QB being Doug Johnson....and of course the student section erupted.
