re: I was 4 years old in 1979 for USC @ LSU in Tiger Stadium ...

I was 9 and remember it like it was yesterday and been to countless games since then and to this day no game in TS has come close to that one…

24 year old grad student and it was the best and loudest I’ve ever seen it! And yes it was a bullshite call!

I was 9, but remember it like it was yesterday.

it was a phantom call

I was working back room at Wendys on Causeway in Metairie. I had the game on the radio, and the crowd noise was insane!

I was stationed in Biloxi in the AF. Drove over with a friend, mom had tickets in the West upper. Unbelievable the sound from below. It was electric I tell ya.

Tiger Rag Article about Game

I was 16 years old and there. Never seen anything like it and probably never will. Been a season ticket holder for years and seen some loud games. This one was unbelievable. Just different times with no cell phones and cable TV. Game was not televised because USC could not be televised more than 5 times.

I was 17 at that game with my father. My seat overlooked the opposing team tunnel and when USC was waiting to come out to the field I saw Charles white and yelled "White sucks" and he looked up and flipped me the bird.LOL. One of the loudest ames ever at Tiger stadium but the refs were not going to let us upset USC that day. I literally had tears at the end of that game. What gets lost in that season is LSU also lost to Alabama 3-0 that year in a game where both teams only crossed the 50 yd line once on a cold rainy November night. Was there for that also. That Tiger defense was ferocious that year. Out manned but never outplayed.

15 years old sitting in south end zone. The whole day seemed like a dream. It was eerie... atmosphere outside of the stadium before game was electric. It was just different... hard to explain. Everyone knew So Cal was number 1 and LSU was coming off blowout wins against Colorado and Rice so everyone was anxious to see how good Tigers really were. It seemed like everybody was low key nervous before game. I remember sitting in my seat before game during pregame waiting for teams to come out for warmups. Charles White came out onto the field and did a jog all the way around the field flanked by his two All American tackles Munoz and Budde and I thought Aw shite... it’s on! LSU came out hitting from the start and the fans fed off of the team’s energy facing Goliath. All that penned up nervousness before the game came out in thunderous fashion for four quarters all the way to the final whistle. Walking down the ramps after that game was surreal. It was like everybody was numb from what they had just witnessed. Never felt that feeling after watching any other game after that. Glad I was there.
