It also didn't gain "lore" as the Earthquake game until a couple of years later when ESPN was trying to drum up interest in an Auburn LSU game in 91.
Don't most things need some breathing room before they become lore? The ESPN notion of an instant classic (which they claim any entertaining game is) has sort of obscured this point. LSU fans did not truly appreciate the 2003 Georgia game until years after. It takes some perspective sometimes so I don't find that point all that controversial.

It's important because it was pointed out only by media to hype up the game two years later and it was such a non-story that it took 2 years before anyone outside of the LSU geology department knew about it. The USGS does not have any recorded earthquakes for that night, either.
The key, however, is that most big games with defining plays register on the richter scale at LSU's geology department. Just something they don't want to tell you because it ruins how "special" that game has become in LSU lore.
