Do any of you "old timers" like me remember the backstory to that game?
Boone wanted us to bus down and back. Nutt wanted to fly. So, the compromise was that we bussed down and flew back. In the locker room after the game part of Nutt's speech was "deserving this dadgum plane ride home."
Also....I'll never forget this. It was Senior Day for LSU. My then wife had just given birth to our 7lb daughter... "Born to be a tiger and still the biggest baby on record in Louisiana at 15 pounds 14 ounces....Hermannnnnnnnnn Johnsonnnnnnnnnn!" DAYUMMM
