The Amazin's in 1972 went 10-1. Their one loss? ......

WDE0007 166 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The next time AU beats LSU in Baton Rouge: - Bryce Love continues to run his way into the Heisman race. - D-Wade and LeBron will be reunited in Cleveland. - Donald Trump will be president. - Practically the entire Kardashian clan will be pregnant.

caleb1633 1,418 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The year was 1999. Michael Jordan announced his retirement. John Elway and the Broncos won their second straight Super Bowl (SB XXXIII). President Clinton was acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial. Eminem released "Slim Shady." Tim Couch was the first pick in the NFL Draft. Star Wars Phantom Menace was released in theaters. JFK Jr. and his wife died in a plane crash. "The Sixth Sense" and "Fight Club" premiered in theaters. Pierce Brosnan was James Bond. Yeah. It's been THAT long since we won in that Corndog crap hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomstick 1,315 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I was 14 and had tickets to go to the game with my great aunt, but my great grandfather passed away and changed our plans. Listened to the game on the radio in the funeral home parking lot because they had the visitation on a Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLINtheFamily 77 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I believe '99 was the game Kenny Irons predicted he would go for 2 (200 yds.) before the game and then he fulfilled his promise. Classic. Edit: It was '05 but still classic even in a 20-17 loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 football is a strange game. There is no comparing scores or a win by Troy in BR. If anything, it allows them to make adjustments to be a better focused team. We will have our hands full, because we will have that mental block about losing down there. But first...I want to focus on Ole Miss. This is a trap game I feel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That night is memorable because of the game and because I drank about a case of beer and hooked up with a very unattractive and not slim girl. Thanks for bringing up long lost memories. At least you earned your nickname that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks have been calling me crazy but it sets up as one of those games where AU just comes out flat and allows a team that can sling it around to stay in the game way too long. I hope I'm wrong but these early kicks scare me to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson SG 88 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I was 18 and a freshman in college in Mississippi. We had just gotten back from a fall baseball game and this was definitely a refreshing end to the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've only won five times in history down there. It's never been easy for us in Red Stick, but we actually won in '97 & '99 there. Before the losing streak began in 2001, we were 5-9-1 there, but one of those wins came before the first World Series was even played (1903). Overall we are now 5-17-1 at LSU.

thaitopher 807 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 In the last 10 years, I have been to Tiger Stadium three times to see Auburn play LSU, and they have lost each time. One of those games was a last minute TD from Flynn to Byrd - complete heartbreaker. This year...things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I was a junior at AU...Ronney Daniels was a god in AU for that one year.

I hope I'm wrong but these early kicks scare me to death. Ole Miss will be a test just because Shea Patterson will be hard to sack him just like it was with Fitzgerald this past weekend. Can we get to him? SURE. Holland was close to about 4 more sacks than the 1 he had. Can we get him on the ground? That will be the hard part. His WR's will be our biggest test yet for our corners. They are all big and physical WR's who are really talented. This is where Jamel Dean can come up huge for us! We need him to have a big time game for us since he is our tallest and most physical corner at 6 ft 2. Yah 11 am games in no way shape or form favor the home team at all.
