Because we couldn't get Pat Sullivan away from TCU due to contractual obligations. We hired DiNardo from Vandy, and he left owing them a ton of money. Back then, we were lucky to get any decent coach because the program had stagnated so under Archer and then Hallman. Coach DiNardo did some good things for us and left some great players for Saban to start his first two seasons with.

It was "the players" in 1986 that cost us getting Steve Spurrier from Duke. We settled for Mike Archer because "the players" wanted him. He won an SEC title with Arnsparger's players, and then proceeded to run the program in the ground.

The 1970 game on the Plains was an especially tough game with conference title implications. Earlier in the season, Texas A&M upset LSU in the finals seconds for the Tigers only loss of the season, and AU was unbeaten and in first place in the SEC. The game was played in the mud after a big rain the night before that continued into Saturday afternoon. Auburn had upset 17th ranked Tennessee (the eventual one loss Sugar Bowl champions) and 16th ranked Georgia Tech. The Plainsmen were averaging 30-points a game but had not faced a defense as tough as the Mike Anderson/Tommy Casanova/John Sage led Tiger D. With a consistent rushing attack led by Art Cantrelle, and a spectacular, last minute 4th Quarter goal line stand, the Bayou Bengals finished off the War Eagles, 20-15. Auburn would lose only once more at home against Georgia and LSU lost a heartbreaking 3-0 game in South Bend against the Golden Domers. The Tigers went on to win the SEC, but lost to eventual National Champion Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, 17-12. Auburn beat the Archie Manning-led Ole Miss Rebels in the Gator Bowl to finish 10-2. Pat Sullivan would win the 1971 Heisman Trophy. LSU finished 9-3, which kept alive the Tigers streak of 9-wins a year from 1969-1973.

I sat in a tornado in Birmingham in 1984 when the Tigers beat Bama 16-14. The authorities temporarily suspended the game, but the bad weather eventually blew over. They completed all 4-quartersof play. The win put LSU in the drivers seat to win the SEC with only one game left to play and that was the next week in Starkville. We went there uninspired and flat offensively, and lost. Their backup QB was from Bogalusa and he ran circles around us and they beat us 16-14, and it cost us the title. We played the Sugar Bowl (UF was on probation) and lost to Nebraska 28-10.

Tigers would've hung 50 on that confused defense and you know that! The LSU Tigers are THE 2019 NCAA national football champions. You are the Citrus Bowl champs.

LSU wore the "metallic" gold helmets until the late 1950's when they went to a more Yellow hue during Coach Dietzel's tenure. It wasn't until the early to mid 1970's under Cholly Mac when they started wearing the brighter yellow helmets that we see them wear today.

You people still have the Butthurt that the greatest college football team of all time is the 2019 Tigers. Get over it because there's nothing you can do about it, boy. By the way, have you ever even been to Tuscaloosa?

When Clemson didn't shut the door when they were ahead 17-7. LSU had 'em right where they wanted them and immediately scored to make it 17-14, Clemson. We had figured out Venables and Clemson's D and for all practical purposes the rout was on.
