I-59 Tiger

Perhaps LSU stuffing #6 Alabama , 20-10 at Legion Field in 1982 to end an 11 game losing streak to them. LSU hadn't won vs them on the road-- or period since 1970.

2004 Florida isn't a bad choice, but LSU had crushed them 36-7 in 2002 in Gainesville.

is it still on the books for 49 to eventually go to New Orleans?

for the : tl,dr crowd --exit now!

One of the many amazing wins for an amazing team that year. After starting the season 14-0 and ranked as high as #8 in the polls, LSU was truly "one of the last 4 in" before that was a thing. The team was beset with distractions as Nikita Wilson missing the Spring semester due to academics and a 'chicken pox' out break that caused some rearranging of the schedule and a few games with little to no bench. LSU limped into Lexington for the SEC Tournament having lost 4 of its last 11 including a 68-57 regular season finale loss to Kentucky at Rupp Arena a few days earlier.

LSU really "had" to win its first game vs Florida. Counting SEC Tournament games, two NITs and 3 NCAA tournaments, LSU had not won a post season tournament game since the 1981 Midwest Regional final over Wichita State. LSU beat a respectable Florida team (that was in search of its FIRST NCAA trip) 72-66. Next up was #1 seed Kentucky who had already beaten LSU twice. LSU led most of the game and held 56-51 lead with 2:00 left. Kentucky ended the game on a 10-2 run and eked out a 61-58 win. LSU's John Williams to this date remains the only team to win the SEC Tourney MVP award without participating in the title game.

Not only did LSU slip into the tournament, they would play in the Southeast Regional in Baton Rouge,LA at the Assembly Center. First #6 Purdue fell and then #3 Memphis State fell and it was on to Atlanta and #2 Georgia Tech.

After the 1984 season the NCAA outlawed 'host teams' playing in the regionals on their home court. (As in LSU's case home teams would continue to be able to host and play in first and second round games for another two years) But the SE Regional was at the Omni, not Alexander Memorial Coliseum where Tech played.)

In game one Kentucky defeated Alabama, 68-63 for the Wildcats' fourth win over the Tide that year. Next up LSU had preseason #1 Georgia Tech. Tech who finished second in the ACC and was 27-6 had a fine team but not the dominating team many had predicted. Still they were big favorites over LSU.

The game was a dogfight the whole way with LSU leading 36-30 at halftime. But the second half was back and forth with Georgia Tech taking a four point lead with 6 minutes left. Trailing 56-52, LSU went on a 10-2 run to go ahead 62-58 and never trailed again. With Tech trapping at the one minute mark down by four Williams found Ricky Blanton alone under the basket for an easy basket (similar to what would happen two days later.) LSU played only 7 players who played more than one minute. Don Redden had 27 and Derrick Taylor had 23. LSU won 70-64 and would face Kentucky for the fourth time with a trip to Dallas and the Final Four on the line.

May be long so please exit if you are Team tl;dr. :lol:

Today began one of the craziest weeks in LSU sports which were about has LSU has it could be. The irony is this was about two and a half months after Sports Illustrated's "Crazy Days at LSU" which had Dale Brown on the cover. The story didn't acknowledge any of this mess.

First of all #14 LSU lost in Gainesville to Florida, 74-65. Not devastating in and of itself, but Florida was still one year away from their FIRST NCAA bid. LSU had beaten Florida 20 of the last 23 games. Still even though LSU was now 13-3 the three losses had come in the last 5 games --all three losses on the road.

LSU took the court that night without Nikita Wilson, the Tigers' captain and one of the top scorers and rebounders.In fact, Wilson would not play for the rest of the season.Buddy Seay, a Psychology professor and head of the LSU Athletic Council deemed Wilson ineligible after failing a Math class and denying Wilson's appeal. Wilson said he failed some tests because of travelling with the team to road games and LSU said he never mentioned any of that until he received his F.

In a press conference the next day Dale Brown responded like Dale Brown.Brown said "there is a Judas on the LSU staff" and how other students with failing grades had been given an incomplete."Some grades have been changed for International Students so they don't have to go back to Iran." He also alluded to the seemingly lethargic play by several Tigers in the Florida game . One of the reasons was an outbreak of Chicken Pox by members of the team. Before leaving for Gainesville , John Williams and Bernard Woodside had complained of a rash and were medicated. Upon returning they were determined to indeed have chicken pox. Only 4 players had had the chicken pox, starters Don Redden and Derrick Taylor and reserves Edwin Wilson and Neboisha Bukumirovich so there was obvious precaution with the remainder of the squad.

Dr Marty Broussard felt the team needed to postpone the upcoming game as well as an internist at OLOL. While sympathetic to a point, Auburn, LSU's upcoming opponent expected LSU to show up for that Saturday's game in Auburn. It was to be Auburn's first nationally televised basketball game at home. Heck,Auburn and various Alabama media suggested that LSU send the four healthy players and some intramural players. Who wouldn't find valor in Auburn winning 119-42 over an impromptu walkon team? Of course this was the same Auburn University that persuaded Kentucky to move their game from Saturday to Monday three weeks earlier as athletic staff and cheerleaders were still en route from the football team's Cotton Bowl and wouldn't make it back in time. Cheerleaders > healthy players. Kentucky obliged without question.

The SEC really just wound up letting LSU and Auburn work it out and the game was postponed a few weeks where LSU won, 63-61 in Auburn. Auburn did return the favor with a win in Baton Rouge at the end of the season.

you're talking about people who insist men can get pregnant. Frustrating,but these people are crazy.

Oh,by the way, this "judge's" office phone number is (702) 671-4350. I asked the lady who answered the phone that surely I misread and article about her boss. "Does Judge Bluth support baby killers?"

702-671-4350.

Sophomore year homecoming. Absolute beat down. This was in the era where Florida State was putting its program back together after hitting rock bottom in 1973 and 1974. Florida State agreed to many road games with no return several years in advance. This LSU game was the fifth game in a row that the Seminoles played a game on the road. At Nebraska, at Ohio State, at Notre Dame at PItt and then at LSU. They went 3-2 in those game but it really took a toll on them. Later in the year Southern Miss beat them at home, 58-14.

Sophomore in HS. Lol. I was 41.

The man is one of the best, level-headed posters on this board. Of all the people why call him out?

I thought you were better than this. You're sounding like that retard REBEL AC.
