Only because LSU doesn't count ancient history (prior to Y2K).

Sounds good. We can pretend that this isn't a thing simply because it doesn't meet a completely arbitrary set of criteria created by some dumbass 25 years after the fact, as a matter of convenience.

I like how you didn't even mention Tennessee because it's just such a shitty program


We joke, but they are not far off from being permanently out of the big six, if they aren't already there.

LOL! I got more free tickets that year than any other year since I first started watching them in person.

If the Arkansas QB doesn't inexplicably drop the ball in 1998 Tennessee probably isn't in the Big 6. They're a complete pre-JFK program.

See??? No matter how much twentysomethings wish it never happened, the bad old days had merit. Even if they suck arse, getting to go watch your team play in person is a worthwhile experience.

Because football started in 2000, right?




So, there was no LSU football before Nick Saban? Sounds about right, I guess.

I remember some guy about to sell me 2 tickets for 20 bucks for the Kentucky game. He had 4 and gave them all to me instead.

"Here, kid. Call a few more of your friends and you guys all go."

We lost that game btw.

It wasn't even the same game back then. Teams lined up in the I formation and they barely had the forward pass... oh wait, Spurrier.

Anyway! The point still stands. It's not the same game as today because salaries!

You're pretty dense if you don't realize programs like LSU, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, and Georgia are all different and better off programs than they were 25 years ago due to the built in advantages they have in the 2010s.

I attended my share of mid-90s arse whippings as a downtrodden high school Bammer. I remember every one of them, and would do it all over again just for the gameday experience.

That year we had a bedsheet hanging from our fraternity house that said "HELP CURLEY PACK EARLY". I sometimes miss the days when spraypainted bedsheets were a primary means of social media and you didn't have to worry about party pics of alcohol fueled insanity going viral on Twitter, Facebook, etc. College kids these days can screw up their entire future in no time flat.

Speaking of Curley, some entertaining stories about all his rumored womanizing and boozing it up here:

Made roughly the same point as the brick thrown through the window of Bill Curry's office, wouldn't you say?
