"Lulu and Junior".. -- quick backstory for younger folks.. "Lulu and Junior" were Lulu Roman and Junior Samples who were members of 'Hee Haw" a syndicated show in the 1970's.

CBS panned to this couple late in the 2001 SEC Championship game when it was all but obvious #21 LSU was going to upset #2 Tennessee. The next day these poor souls became one of the first "Memes" before there were memes. :geauxtigers:

We were ranked 8th in the AP after the last regular season game. In the Final AP, Penn State was #2 and undefeated and USC was #3 unbeaten and tied once. There is no way we would have jumped these teams to number 1.

Good luck with this. People here--- many who weren't even born in 1969 will die on the hill that had LSU played in that 1970 Cotton and won they would have been AP champs. I'm sure "some" Cotton Bowl scout did offer LSU. But Darrell Royal tried to get Penn State ,who refused. The Peach Bowl held its bid for over a week hoping LSU would go again.

The 1969 LSU team was fantastic. But the loss to Ole Miss evaporated any chance at an NC even with a Cotton Bowl win. Remember the following season, one loss Notre Dame -- who had been ranked #1 during some of 1970, did beat unbeaten then #1 Texas in the 1971 Cotton Bowl., 24-11 ....and finished 3rd in the final AP poll.

Basically the same thing as LSU

True, but LSU played in the Texas Bowl last year. Penn State ,in effect was in the 'Final Four' last year.

They got Appalachian State. Rematch of their game vs Ga Southern last month.

Haven't really seen much of anything.

The Brian Kelly segment he had not withstanding he has always hated LSU. I remember during 2019 when he would be interviewed and asked about LSU he would look like hostage. Very flatly he would say LSU has a good team, then it'd be like can we talk about Saban and Alabama now?

If you aren't the most LSU obsessed Gump on this board you are at least in the top three. :rolleyes:

Cole Cubelic from WJOX in Birmingham won't like this. According to him, LSU and Kiffin are what's wrong with sports and are pariahs. :rolleyes:

Do any other fans of other teams dump on their own team more than LSU fans do? Maybe just here but a ton of fans on the Tiger
Rant seem to enjoy LSU misery more than success.

Gordy is going to hand BK a microphone on the field during the SR Day ceremony and let him announce it.

LSU became the first team to host two nationally televised prime time games during the same season in college football. 7th ranked Notre Dame came to down 8-1-0 for their last game (after going 45 years with out a bowl and playing in 1969 they decided to sit out 1971.) Tiger Stadium was at its best that night as the crowd was insane. Statistically it was a weird game as Notre Dame actually had more yards,first downs, total plays and time of possession but LSU won, 28-8 based on three goal line stands.

While not the cover, Sports Illustrated had a full article about the game written by Dale Brown's future buddy, Billy Reed (IYKYK) entitled,"Irish Stew for LSU."
