Hogs vs LSU. Our 2nd year in the SEC. Classic.

[Country Stylz]

Especially if you like a running game.   

[phadedhawg]

That was a fun game to watch at the end of a frustrating season

[SamBuckhart]

Just got back from Ft. Hood and watched it on tv at my grandmothers house in east texas. Def one of my favorites. Thanksgiving leftovers too. Bonus.

How I've missed a dynamic DB like Orlando Watters. That was the first season I truly remember watching all the games and understanding what's going on.

[redeye]

I honestly didn't realize that LSU had ever fielded a great football team when I watched that game.  My only real interest in the game was that I knew A&M considered LSU a big rival, so I wanted to beat them worse then A&M was doing back then.  I can remember thinking after the game was over that we'd probably beat them this bad yearly.

I obviously didn't know better.

LSU was never considered anything above average until Nick Saban came along. Before him they were just another once in a blue moon team.

[DeltaBoy]

Watters would be flagged for that on the INT for a TD return for taunting now days.

Yep, since the 60s when Charlie Mcclendon (an Arkansan himself) was their HC the Tigers hadn't really been consistently good until ole Nick came on the scene. This success has obviously continued, for the most part anyway, for Miles.

I'm sure that many of the younger members may not remember that between the Bear retiring and Nick coming to the rescue of yet ANOTHER program the Tide struggled for a time as well. The only real stretch of success was the Gene Stallings era. The point being, as good as 'Bama has been over its history just like every other program it's had its struggles too. So for those who think that things can never change all you have to do is just wait around long enough and they certainly will.

Your correct.

[PorkSoda]

Your correct.

I remember hoping they would have mike shula forever...

[supersaint]

That was great effort by the DE on the second defensive play of the video.

They were prior to this century a lot like us.  Top 15-20 all time in wins, lots of bowl games, one national title (50 years ago) but never any consistency after Charlie Mac retired. Go to the Sugar Bowl, have a losing record the following year.

That '93 game against LSU was my first road game that I went to.

Who was that #85?

FIFY.

Okay... my memory fails me, so I am asking for a little help.  I remember an Arkansas trained coach was hired as their head coach, but lost his life in a small plane mishap he was piloting, before he had a chance to begin their legacy.

That would be Bo Rein. Not sure he was the pilot though.

[Hogwild]

He wasn't the pilot, I saw a SEC Network or ESPN show at the gym a few months back.  He was on a recruiting trip, the plane I believe crashed in the Atlantic, air pressure issue most likely.

[murthage]

Thanks guys.... you are right, he was not the pilot.  But remember he was considered a coach to lead LSU to the promise land.  Understand it was an oxygen glitch which resulted in the plane flying pilotless straight over land and into the ocean

[supersaint]

Who was that #85?

Yes. He looks kind of stupid.

[DeltaBoy]

Great win for the Hogs.

[ImHogginIt]

Yes. He looks kind of stupid.

Was that him making a key block on Watters TD return at the 4 min mark?

[lahawg1]

What I noticed was the VG form tackling. Nobody went for the big hit and everyone hit low and wrapped up for no additional yards.

[HogShat]

Watters would be flagged for that on the INT for a TD return for taunting now days.

You are right DB. That is the main thing I see when I watch these older clips. They have taken much of the fun out of the game.

[supersaint]

Was that him making a key block on Watters TD return at the 4 min mark?

I think it was.

[Carl Lazlo]

Junior Soli must be a time traveler.  Dabbed after laying out ball carrier.

[HogSkinsDisease]

I think it was.

85 should have pancaked the guy.

[supersaint]

85 should have pancaked the guy.

Yeah. Weak block.
