Archie Manning, the greatest quarterback in the history of Ole Miss, led the Rebels into Baton Rouge and got beat 61 to 17 by the LSU Fighting Tigers in front of 67,590 fans.

First LSU game I attended in person. Still have vivid memories of the game and the crowd.

That was my dad’s freshman year at LSU. (Also his only semester because he met my mom that year) Almost 4 more years for me to enter the picture.

His son also fell on his arse to lose the 03 game

I was eleven . Didn’t they throw oranges and it got foggy in the second half?

I hated him for it, but the year before, he drove the Weebles down the field to give us our only loss that year.
That was the year that we were expected to go to the Cotton Bowl, but got bumped by the selection committee in favor of Notre Dame, who voluntarily had not played in a bowl game since 1924.
Players voted to not accept any other bowl invites. In those days, the big 4 bowls of Sugar, Orange, Rose, and Cotton were the top bowls.
I’ve hated ND ever since.

And Archie has held a grudge for 55 years.
