Last time two SEC teams played each other in Sugar Bowl was 1964, Snowed the night before. Field at Tulane stadium completed cleared and snow visible all around perimeter of field. No effect on game. Alabama didn’t score a TD but beat Ole Miss 12-7 on four FG’s.

Did we rob OM of their coach that year too?

The fumbled punt by Bama at 13:20 mark but they called him down ?! My Lord that ref had to be on the take.

First meeting between Alabama and Ole Miss since 1944? Somehow I always thought Alabama and Ole Miss played pretty regularly.
Was there a super bowl game at Tulane Stadium with snow on the ground in the early 70s? I remember Miami playing someone in a Superbowl around 72 or so with snow on the ground and somehow I remember it being Tulane Stadium? When was the first dome built in New Orleans?

We played Tennessee a lot more than Alabama back then.

My dad says they saw the kicker, Tim Davis (I think they called him Tiny Tim but don't quote me on that) strolling through the quarter after the game with a big-titted woman under each arm.

It seems like UGA and Ole Miss played pretty regularly but they didn't. Its really amazing how seldom some SEC teams used to play one another. UGA almost never played Tennessee before expansion. We played South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Clemson more than most of the SEC.....

Super Bowl VI between the Cowboys and Dolphins was in New Orleans. It was a little before my time, so I looked it up. The weather was 39 degrees at kickoff, making it the coldest Super Bowl, but it doesn't appear to have snow on the ground in the video.
Video of Super Bowl VI that the NFL won't let me embed.
Ground-breaking on the Superdome was in August of 1971, a few months before Super Bowl VI. It was intended to be completed in time for Super Bowl IX following the 1974 season, but delays prevented it from being opened until the summer of 1975. Super Bowl IX was rainy and cold and pretty much considered the most miserable conditions the game has been played in.
Hope that helps.
GEAUX TIGERS!

We played yearly from like the mid 60s all the way through the dual-cross division opponent ending in 2002.
So maybe not a super large overall amount of games total, but playing every year for nearly 40 years seems somewhat regular I think

That’s why it seemed like Ole Miss was an annual opponent….Ive been aUGA fan since the early 70s so we did play Ole Miss pretty regularly in my lifetime….

It does. I was 6 in January of 1972 so the announcers talking about it being cold probably made me wish for snow LOL. I remember also thinking that New Orleans was a million miles from north Georgia.

Was the rematch of LSU and Bama in New Orleans in 2011 not the sugar bowl?

idk if you're trolling or if this was a legit question.
If the latter, nah, the BCS national championship game became a separate entity from the BCS bowls at some point in the mid-2000's. But still rotated to the same sites as the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta and Rose.

He was clearly down. He was practically rolling around.

It was legit. I couldn’t remember if the BCS named the championship games. Throws me off sometimes kind of like Bama playing Georgia in Atlanta for the NC but not the peach bowl

It throws me off too.
When LSU won the title in 2003, it beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, which was designated as the National Championship game that year in the rotation but was still the Sugar Bowl.
However, in 2007 and 2011 and 2019, we played in the National Championship game in New Orleans, but it was just the National Championship game with a separate Sugar Bowl held earlier.
