I not only was there, I was on the field. When Jones hit Hamilton for a TD before halftime the roar from the crowd was actually felt as a breeze, a rush of air.

I was there and it was shaking in tiger stadium . Parsigian NDs coach said he would never play another game there at night again as long as he was coach . The other thing that most don’t know is before that game ND had never played an SEC team other than vanderbilt . The only games south they also played were at North carolina and Miami . I personally researched this so I know it is true . After the game vs i got home in Metairie and called the ND dorms and gave them hell amen

I listened to this game live on AFN at 0200 Central European Time while stationed at Wiley Barracks, Neu Ulm, Germany. I was assigned to 1st Platoon, A Battery, 1/81 Field Artillery (Pershing).
My platoon leader was a Notre Dame grad and I had a s@@@ eating grin for the next month. 9 months later, I was in the Louisiana National Guard and a student at LSU.

That was my all-time favorite game in Tiger Stadium. The crowd was nuts two hours before the game started with all kinds of obscene chants from the student section. shite, we all knew the Tigers were gonna win this one even if the rest of the country didn’t.
Jones to Hamilton
Goal line stands
It was loud start to finish. No one left early
You really could smell the bourbon from the field
It was the only time I rushed the field after a big win. Hell, it might’ve been the first time the field got rushed.
At the time, it was one of the best days of my life!

I was age 11. Watched it on TV. No high definition. No remote. No replay. It was in color, however. Great night in LSU history. Great memories.

I was exactly 4 days old, so technically the first LSU game of my lifetime.

My father was at this game and said it was his favorite game ever. He was at LSU as a student for the 58 season. I sure miss me some Tommy Casanova!!

The rest of the story...Tiger Rugby kicked ND's arse the same afternoon in BR and then revenge for the 3-0 game. A glorious day to be a Tiger.

LSU QB Paul Lyons was supposed to be a groomsman in my wedding that day but I forgave him for skipping out. lol.
Just asked him to toss a TD pass for me and my bride. He obliged in the closing minutes by hitting Andy Hamilton on the play that Hamilton beautifully juked out the ND All-American CB.
We got neckid and went wild in our hotel room in New Orleans. Great day and night.

Awesome stuff, my Dad talked for years about Bert Jones to Andy Hamilton. Interesting how they painted ND in one end zone.

That’s why neighbor put a ‘Tigers Eat Irish Stew’ bumper sticker on my car when I was a freshman in 1986.

I love that rival fans have such great memories playing my beloved Notre Dame. Say what you will about Notre Dame but they are the university with the most fans worldwide....and its not even close. Even have their own tv channel(NBC) to televise their games. Even though we havent won a Natty in forever....teams get up for Notre Dame....attendance records are through the roof. Ask USC fans about Notre Dame and they would say they could go 1-11 in a season as long as their 1 win is against Notre Dame.....lmao

Now THAT, baws, is football! Andy Hamilton, Bert Jones, Tommy Casanova, Art Cantrelle, Jimmy Ledoux, Chris Dantin, Steve Lelakacs, etc... they were a class act. And Cholly Mac wasn't too bad a coach
