Whats amazing is tigers threw two interceptions one a pick six and fumbled twice and still had a chance to beat Vols. I believe a painting of that play hangs at Tennessee and Johnny Majors said stopping cannon one of greatest plays in Vols history....

I think the only way to compare tiger stadium on Saturday night today is compare to other top football programs who are trying to keep fans interested and entertained. I believe lsu stacks up at the top. But you cannot compare to the late 50's thru the 80's.when it was rowdy and craziness unexpected...
I remember tailgating becoming popular in the mid to late 70's....but nothing near the level of today. in the late 60's and early 70's there was still a large area of greyhound buses parked near the stadium....a lot of small groups around the quad near chemistry bldg, in south stadium there w...

the difference for lsu is we have a winning coach who has stayed at lsu. history will show lsu has not had elite coaches stay at lsu. the best coaches in lsu football all left at a point when they could have stayed at lsu. the exception is les miles. going back to the 1930's lsu had biff j...
i remember referee call at end of lsuvsflorida 1989 at lsu florida had the ball score is 13 to 13 what seemed to be last play of game. horn sounded. lsu and florida heading off field. ref puts one second back on clock. florida qb had thrown ball out of bounds. ref says clock does not s...
wake forest 1960 i remember stepping from the portal and seeing tiger stadium under the lights there was not a large crowd...i believe it was high scool band nite...to fill seats high school bands were invited...we ate at hatcher mess hall across from east side of tiger stadium. i had t...
in 70's and early 80's student section was huge for big games. that like so many things: the oranges thrown at florida state...rushing the field after ole miss game in '70 (before fences) the overall rowdiness..poking mike in front of the student section half a dozen times..will never happen aga...

i have an lsu pennant from late fifties. on the pennant it has: national champions with a tiger and football. below it has "1908 and 1958"...
most of the people on this board are out of touch with reality.even sabin lost at least 3 games every year he was at lsu but one. ...but when i look at how many posts some have i say get a life!...
if i had to rate the sec at this point i would have sc,ala,florida ahead of lsu. lsu defense has not been tested...auburn is dead last in offense in sec... florida has 2 sec wins on road at a&m and tenn and 3 sec wins overall.sc looks best to me so far ...ala more balanced on offense but unte...
the penalty which had auburn decided to take would have changed both down and distance for lsu. i believe lsu had to wait to see what auburn would do. the field goal unit was ready on sideline...but you would not want offense removed from field with 3rd down coming up . when auburn decided t...

frank gifford once said on monday night football "steve van buren was greatest running back he had ever seen play" i remember a picture taken in pmac of lsu pro football hall of famers: van buren,tittle and taylor probably in the 80's...

is anybody really happy??

yesterday i listened to lynn rollins two hour tiger sports show. over 80% of callerscomplaining about jlee playing time and how they have lost respect for les miles. i go to a christmas party last weekend everybody complaing about jefferson,lee or about off. this is so different from last ...
i don't buy all this media bias. look lsu football and tiger stadium are recognized by the majority of media and fans as the tops of the college football world . michigan-usc-notre dame-ohio state-oklahoma would give anything to be where lsu has been the past 10 years. "i know our plac...
lsu beat tulane (sec champion in 1949) 21-0 to give them victories over 3 conference champs...

will lsu get their swagger back?

Posted by ttigermike on 11/15/11 at 9:54 am
lsu has not beat both ole miss and arkansas in the same year since 2006....many of these games have gone to overtime..lsu was favored and it seemed like they played not to lose. lsu comes off the alabama victory in great position but that game demanded a tremendous effort and focus. can they re...
we will know in january.....we have maybe five games left to play . way to early....the back side of the schedule has always seperated out the great teams from good lsu teams. if this team wins sec championship and beats a good stanford or oklahoma team we may say they are the best;but one s...
