LSU Football - Photographic History, pre-1980

For those who don't know Simeon A "Alex" Box's story, here it is:

The guy standing up all the way to the right looks like Matt LeBlanc (aka Joey Tribbiani).

 

Look at the cars. :shock:

 

Does anybody have a hi-res version of the picture with the players wearing the Chinese Bandit masks? I'd love to have it as a wallpaper but hate it looking grainy (due to size stretch)

Also, LSU should do a re-shoot of the Chinese Bandit picture for our modern day defense...I bet it would, subliminally, place a sense of bonding on the group to have a nickname and fire them up. It's possible that this is just me wanting to have the picture taken, haha

 

People would claim racism and stuff if they did that today.

 

Quarterback Jerry Tagge stretches the ball over the goal line for the winning touchdown in Nebraska's 1971 Orange Bowl victory over LSU to give the Huskers their first national title.
