Does anybody have a link to the story that quoted the AZ coach after playing LSU? He said LSU was tougher than USC.

(From 2003)


I'm talking to somebody that says it never happened, so I have to find it.

This is one of the worst beatdowns i've ever witness. Wildcats were getting laid out left and right

Do you want the 2003 or the 2006 beatdown? They were both brutal for them.

I do remember that their coach in 2003 said before the game when asked about the opportunity to upset a ranked LSU team at home in Arizona, "It's not an upset when you're the better team."

What a dumbass. No wonder he got fired.

It would also help you out in your search if you changed the thread's subject to something remotely close to what you're looking for.

I like it, but not the right game or quote.

The best thing about the 2003 LSU/UA game was when the announcer on TBS said at halftime, "the only way Arizona can win this game is if they put a whole bottle of colon blow in the LSU gatorade"

fricking awesome

That was the 2006 in BR. He is talking about 03 in Zona. It was even worse for Zona that night.

If memory serves me correct, the comments were made mostly by Arizona players after facing both teams in '06, but there may have been some staff comments also.

The statement was definitely made by one or both.

You would be right. It was one the few LSU games you will see on TBS again. That game piqued interest in LSU a good bit. I would rank the games that year according to the pollsters fait in LSU being contenders.

1. UGA
2. Auburn
3. Zona
4. UGA 2

What is sort of ironic, is that USC beat a number 1 ranked Auburn early in the year to get a huge boost in the rankings that year. We beat them almost as bad later in the year. Aubie and Zona were our only common opponents that year.

I know Auburn in 2003 was a favorite to win the National Championship. But they weren't ranked number one preseason (they were #6 in both polls), and USC was Auburn's first game of the year. It definately helped USC to beat Auburn on CBS the first game of the year.

The Coach in 2003 was Makovic and he was quoted as saying he believed LSU was better than USC
