It completely shattered us. We were actually a strong program back in those days. We had just won an SEC title in 1941 and played a bowl game in San Francisco a week before Pearl Harbor.

We had a great coach, good historical success up to that point and post WW2 we never recovered.

I blame hitler and those fanatical Japanese for our floundering football program for the last 80 years.

cool story

During World War II, LSU was one of the top four schools producing officers for the U.S. Armed Forces. (The other schools were Texas A&M, West Point, and Annapolis). LSU had more than 5,000 former students serving as officers, including 16 who achieved the rank of Brigadier General or higher. In all, 12,000 individuals from LSU served, and over 500 died in this great conflict

And one of the most decorated and well-known (Troy Middleton) had his named removed from the LSU library because some fricking retards got their feeling hurt.
