I was there, I was 9 years old, but I was there. We took a picture of us with everyone rushing the field in the back ground.



......I need to find that picture.

I was there in the student section. Still remember the pregame when Florida fans came over and taunted the LSU student section with a banner. The student section was packed (yes we were able to fill it to the top even with everyone packing toward the bottom), but the rest of the stadium was relatively empty. A student stole the banner and threw it into the student section. The banner was never seen fully intact again. The Florida fans went complain to LSU police, but nothing could be done.

When Raion Hill intercepted Doug Johnson's last gasp pass in the final minute, the stadium exploded almost as loud as the Earthquake Game TD to Fuller in '88, the Skyler TD pass to beat Georgia in '03, the Auburn kicker doink in '05, and the USC loss announcement at '07 UF game.

ditto....I remember the PA guy saying to the fans with less than a minute left..."we'd like to take the time to remind LSU fans to stay off the field after the game." I looked at my buddy and said no way in hell those 20 rent a cops huddled in the corner of the endzone are stopping me and thousands of others after this win.

That was my High School Freshman year Prom night.

I had tickets to the game, passed on going (we're gonna get killed) to the game.

My parents went, rushed the field.

Yada, Yada, I didn't miss another home game until after I graduated from LSU.

i went to that game in 8th grade with my friend and his parents

his mom was complaining to his dad that it was too loud for her the whole first half, so we ended up leaving and going to TJ Ribs to watch the rest of the game.

I was so pissed.

I loved this game, I was an LSU fan prior to this game but this game made me LOVE LSU. And I went to the Auburn Barn Burning game which in it's own right was memorable

We lost to Auburn on the arm of Jamie Howard.
I was there to see it.

I, however was not there for the Florda game. Had to keep adjusting the satellite dish, in a rainstorm, while on a fishing trip to Mexico.

My friend and I made a bee line for Spurrier's visor, but State police weren't down for whatever.

Gustapo assholes.

My second game in Tiger stadium. We were all resigned to a 28 pt loss. That's how much of an underdog we were.

I was at the Auburn barn burner in 1996 as well. I was a guest of my sales rep, who was an Auburn alum. My seat was on the 49 yard line on the Auburn side. Never have I seen so many downtrodden Auburn fans in one place!

Also, our seats were excellent to see the fire behind the opposite stands.
