re: Your favorite quote about LSU Football?

I think it was former SEC head coach, Bill Curry
that said: " When you play LSU in Tiger Stadium and you win the coin toss , you elect to take the crowd "

quote:

---

"This place makes Notre Dame seem like Romper Room." - Brad Budde, G, USC, 1979

this....still cracks me up.

Marquise Hill....RIP, my brother.

1. "I've got a championship game to play, and I'm excited about the opportunity of my damn-strong football team to play in it." ~ Coach Les Miles

2. "The difference between a day and night game at LSU? At night you can smell the bourbon on the field." ~ Coach Mike Archer

3. "LSU plays grown man football. They'll bring the Hello Kitty out of you." ~ Desmond Howard

After the Sugar Bowl in January of 2002, an IL sportswriter wrote: "There are bars on Bourbon Street that don't stay open as long as Josh Reed."

My favorite from this year:

quote:

---

If Alabama's defense is a boa constrictor, slowly sucking the life out of opposing offenses, LSU's is more like a goon that throws the offense into a burlap sack and starts beating it with a stick.

From Hall Of Famer Ronnie Lott that played with USC during the 1979 game that I was at:

"It's probably the only time in my life I was intimidated by the crowd," Lott said. "A lot of great players have played in that stadium, but I don't know if any team has walked into that stadium and dealt with what we went through. From the time we landed to the time we left, I don't know if a team has ever gone through that."

"Every one of us left that night saying 'that was a game,' but I still think about it that way," he said. "I haven't been in an event like that at any level of football. Out of all the games I've ever played in, I've never been in anything like that, and I am including my Super Bowls in that assessment."

Les Miles - "See ya!"

It wasn't a specific quote, but Tiger Stadium was ranked as one of the 10 worst places in the world for a visiting team. This included some of those European and South American soccer stadiums where people get killed in riots.
