I can remember, near the end of the game, the camera panned the crowd and there was a woman with large breasts bouncing up and down in the crowd...anyone remember this?

Chicken check out the 3:13 mark on the youtube video

Chris Jackson is playing over in JApan last i heard

I was at the game. I still have my stub. It was epic. Purely epic. Fryer was unconscious behind the line. Gathers was a beast. Kimble probably scored 35 (his average), but didn't have a great game. Shaq and Stanley were unstoppable and their big guy, Stumer, was crapola.

My VHS copy doesn't have the first 7 or so minutes of the game because of St. John's and Georgetown running over.


Also, anyone remember the rematch the following season? Terrel Lowery was bad to the bone. We won, but I do not think we lost a single home game that year except maybe to State. I remember beating the piss out of UK that year at home and of course, drilling Arizona and their 3 seven-footers. Illinois beat us in Champagne and NOVA beat us in the tip-off classic. We lost all of our SEC games on the road (meaning the losses we had...not EVERY game), I think. Arkansas was not in the league yet. We lost our final game of the season in Starkville minus Shaq. I remember because I was in the Superdome watching LSU play Florida in the Busch Classic - pocket tv's were awesome back in the day. Then, we choked badly in the SECt (no Shaq) and then in the NCAAt to U Conn - two games that are very John Bradyesque almost.

I don't Tangerine, but can tell you that Shaq had a triple-double and that Gathers was game-high scorer with 47 I think. CJ had 30-35. Stanley, I don't think, missed a shot.

No. That's all me. And 1210 is still on the air?

Nice.

I vividly recall that season. Good wins on the road vs. Texas (CJ hit for 51), Tennessee, Vandy, and Ole Miss (Glass and CJ had another memorable one). Great home wins vs. LMU, UNLV (on Superbowl Sunday...CJ went for 40 plus and Mo Williamson had a career high 32), and of course the massacre of Notre Dame in the Dome (and whoever made that schedule aka Joe Dean decided to play that game a day before SEC road game vs. Bama, which we lost by double-digits).

The downfall of '90, aside from its ridiculous expectations of a team without a single senior and one junior, was the 2 losses to the eventual SEC champ UGA (man, I hated Alec Kessler). Then, the opening SECt game in which LSU got beaten by last place Auburn. For the first time in three years, LSU finally beat State in a contest. The 2nd game of the year - a loss in the preseason NIT to Kansas - sort of foreshadowed just how difficult a year it would be for Brown and his "greatest team of all time". I can remember the team was down by double digits to NW State and somehow even though they ended up winning, that spoke volumes of the team's inconsistent play. Oh and how can I leave out the loss at horrible, horrible Florida on national tv? LSU was 19-4 at one point actually and ended up at 23-8 for the season. Sigh...if only CJ and Stanley would have come back in '91, LSU and UNLV/Duke might have played for it all.
