    In the 4 years that I have been going to a game as an LSU student, I don't think any of them have been as crucial as the game yesterday. With the entire nation watching and LSU fans everywhere desperately wanting a win, the pressure was definitely on LSU to pick up the win. Something happened yesterday that I had never seen before. After the 85-yard screen pass from Greene the crowd was silent for a moment and then started to chant LSU. It was unbelievable. Past crowds would have booed an LSU team that gave up a studid touchdown to let the team tie the game up. I would never try to take anything away from the players or coaches of LSU but yesterday I couldn't help but feeling that just maybe the crowd had helped keep the players morale up throughout the game and push them to victory. It was an awesome day and I cannot wait until next weekend for State and then Oct. 11th when the Gators come to town.


    GEAUX TIGERS!!

    I believe it was Marcus Spears that stated that exact same thing, Lsufan9. He said at one point, you could feel the vibrations in his stomach (or perhaps he was hungry? :))--but he DID say that it was so difficult to hear defensive audibles because of the noise...a problem, he didn't mind I'm sure. :)

    That LSU chant after the Georgia TD was awesome. You could hear it on TV but it was nothing like it was being there.
