I watched that game at the Prince Murat on Nicholson Drive, early pay for view.
I did too! (I was 12)
My Mother was the banquet manager and used to bring me in on game days; it was like an LSU tailgate...
I rode past there couple of years ago, what a dump it became!

What would the LSU program be today, had it not been for Bryant in the 70s? Makes you think. LSU had some great teams in those years that few people relize, outside of LSU fans.

wow, so did I. Was 14 I think.
ZERO first downs for Bama in the first half. I remember just being SHOCKED at LSU dominating Bama like that, had never seen it in my life.
Great great memory and that LSU team IMO was one of the best of my lifetime

Thats pretty cool that three of us were in the same room thirty years ago.
It's not like The Prince Murat was a big venue.
I remember feeling privliged to see it.
I can still see the room in my head, but did we just watch it on a big tv or what ? There were multi-tv's right ?
I think we went to The Pastime after the game as well although I remember they had food at The Prince Murat.

I know it had gotten run down but back in the day it was a pretty classy hotel. we did pasttime after the game too, city was going crazy like LSU had won the NC or something

Definetly one of LSU's best teams, but lost some games they had no buisness losing.

It sure was I was at that game. Oranges flying and Hilliard and James going off. That team just couldn't stay up week in and week out.

I was there, too. Weren't we like #7 and Florida State #6 that week?
Me and a buddy didn't have tickets but jumped a fence. Great game! And then the Tigers shite the bed the next week against the Weenies!

I don't remember what they were ranked but it was after the Miss. State loss so LSU's record was 7-1-1. At the time it was the most points I had seen LSU score against a ranked team.

I remember that they had a lot of TVs including one in the kitchen. I thought that wa crazy but cool.
I also thought they had a big TV but big back then was probably like a 36" or something!
I also remember the Comite/Amite river (the great wilderness of my youth) being a big raging river but then I crossed over the bridge from DS the last time I was in town and was a little creek so....

I thought Rein was already named as head coach, and was on a recruiting trip when the plane crashed.
Correct. He'd flown up to Shreveport to visit a recruit. On the return trip, the pilot radioed that he was re-routing around a storm. Something happened after that and the plane flew due east all the way to the Atlantic ocean where Air Force planes observed it to run out of fuel and crash in the sea. No bodies were recovered. Speculation was that the cabin became depressurized at high altitude causing Rein and his pilot to pass out from lack of oxygen. Tragic. LSU paid for the college education of their choice for Rein's children.

I know football > baseball bigtime, in the SEC, but the Bryant-McClendon comparison is oddly similar to Skip Bertman-Jim Wells in SEC baseball. Think what kind of teams Wells would have had if not for Bertman's Tigers.
