I remember the BR Morning Advocate sports page headline “Aw,Shucks!” With a close up picture of a dejected Archie Manning.
No one will ever change my mind, that game is the reason not one Manning would ever attend LSU.

I met John several times at LSU reunions with my dad. John and I spoke about the work he did. Such a great man.

bad arse, i randomly clicked on 2:08 right before the punt return.

In current football there would have been 40 yards worth of penalties

LSU TV games were a rare treat so I remember that game well. I will definitely go back and watch. Some all time Tiger greats on that team including Casanova, Hamilton, Estay, Anderson and Jones.

Bishop, I will look for your Dad #93 in the replay, you are about 20 minutes up NC Highway 16 from me in the Carolinas.

This game was in December and kicked off at 8 30. Ole Miss had been upset by Miss St on Thanksgiving

To be honest, the crowd seemed louder and crazier back then.

No cell phones, people actually watched the game and cheered for 60 minutes
