In Lexington, with my wife and her mother. Her mother was talking trash. After that play, i was talking trash to her mother and she kicked me out the house. It was a long drive back to Knoxville.

In Memphis TN leaving a sports bar called - The Fox and Hound - "pissed-off" at that terrible coach Nick Saban for letting one get away! Friends came running out saying you will not believe what just happened........ they were right.

In Iceland watching it with 5 of my buddies. My jaw dropped when I saw that Henderson caught it.

I was playing in a racquetball tournament. I came off the court from a match and someone just kind of mentioned in passing that LSU was lucky to win their game that day. I didn't think much of it. It wasn't until I got home that night and saw all of the replays on sportscenter that I realized I had missed one of the craziest finishes in LSU history.

In a truck heading to the golf course( we turned off the TV and left) with the radio OFF! I was giving my buddy shite about giving up(even though I had) and so he turned the radio on. We heard Moreau going on and on about how unbelievable it was, but it took over 5 minutes to figure out that we had won and how we had won.

15 rows off the field by the tiger band. Was epic rushing the opposing teams field!


Can't lie, I was pretty pissed leading up to that play though.

I was in Charleston, with my wife and a bunch of strangers on a tour bus. I didn't hear it when it happened; I'd turned off my car radio when we got to the bus depot. UK had just taken the lead late in the game. Depressed, I figured LSU had lost. I was bummed out on the bus tour of the city. Then at last the tour was over and we got back to the car. Turning my radio back on, I painfully tried to locate sports news and found a weak ESPN station. In the middle of all the static, I heard what I couldn't believe. The "Bluegrass Miracle" radio recording being replayed over and over. It was amazing! I was screaming. My wife rolled her eyes and suggested I get a grip.

But for me, it was an even bigger rush than Tom Dempsey's 63 yard field goal versus Detroit, way back in the day.

In Commonwealth Stadium. Jack caught the ball right in front of us. The first reaction was "he caught it", then "he scored" and then "WE WON".

One of the best moments of my LSU career... I was with a bunch of friends on a road trip in Florida when we found some back woods bar where we watched the LSU-Kentucky game on a small screen in the back of the bar while everyone else in the place watched the Florida game on the big screen.

Of course, we were depressed and disappointed as it looked like LSU was going to lose... but when Devery made the catch we just exploded! Threw over the table, tackled each other, threw beer all over the place, screaming and yelling like idiots... while the rest of the bar watching the Florida game looked on in utter confusion.

It was awesome.

I was listening to it at work through the 3rd quarter. Decided not to go to the bar and went home instead, where I couldn't get the broadcast. I was watching the score ticker and a friend called me as they flashed the final.

And I thought the highlight of the game would be Donnie Jones's 86-yard punt....

Really? This whole time we all thought it was Jack Hunt! Was it really Henderson? Are you sure? I guess I'll have to take your word for it.


I keed. I keed. The reason some on this board have stated that it was Jack Hunt is called sarcasm. The reaso for this sarcasm is that as the infamous play unfolded, the lovable but often mistaken Jim Hawthorne announces over the airways that the hail Mary pass was "CAUGHT BY JACK HUNT!!!!!"
