re: 1969 Bama/Ole Miss Game

Although I was very young, I remember that game and that time.
Wow what a fall THAT was!

3 weeks after that 33-32 Hunter/Manning duel,
I attended my first Tiger game with my Dad and the son of a La.State Trooper - who got us the tickets in the SEZ. It was Oct. 25, 1969.

9th ranked unbeaten LSU and Tommy Casanova vs 6th ranked unbeaten Auburn with Pat Sullivan, Mickey Zofko and Terry Beasley.
LSU remanined unbeaten with a spine-tingling 21-20 win, only to suffer their only loss the following week at Ole Miss and Archie 23-26.

Here's just a few of the events I remember from that fall:
- Judy Garland's death
- 1st Moon landing - July 20 - Neil Armstrong
- Chappaquidick - Edward Kennedy/Mary Jo Kopechne
- Famed Woodstock concert in upstate N.Y.
- Manson family murders in L.A.
- Category 5 Hurricane Camille hits Miss. Coast
- Amazin' Mets beat Orioles in World Series upset
- Underdog Michigan stuns #1 tOSU in Ann Arbor
- "Satisfaction" by Rolling Stones, "Sugar Sugar" by Archies and "Age of Aquarius" are big hits.
- Saints Bill Kilmer and Cardinals Charlie Johnson
combine for 12 TD passes in 51-42 Saints win.
- Expansion N.O. Saints go 5-2 down stretch.
- #1 Texas rallies from 0-14 down to edge #2 Arkansas 15-14.
- Cotton Bowl prematurely invites #5 9-1 LSU to face #1 Texas in Cotton Bowl, then reneges and takes twice beaten #11 Notre Dame over LSU - who votes to stay home instead.
- Ole Miss and Archie beat Arkansas in 1970 Sugar 27-22 as Archie named Sugar MVP.
