The horns and pipes suddenly swung into rigid fixed positions. Thousands of Tigers cut off a quick slug and put their cups under their chairs. Four Familiar Hard Loud Notes Rang out, the last one clipped off short: DA DA DAH DA! And as One a Chorus of Tens of Thousands Sprang to their Feet with a Fist Thrust Hard and High in the Air and Answered in Perfect Time in Practiced Perfect Unison with a "GEAUX TIGERS" that was like a Backslap of Thunder to the Band. Another 4 notes Rang Out Harder, Louder and Higer Yet, and were Answered with a Harder, Louder "GEAUX TIGERS" like a Primal Scream yet somehow Sung in Richochet to the Notes, Then again a Third Time, Followed by a Quick Ascent to a Finale with a Perfectly Timed "ALASSYOU" woven into the Final Three Beats. Ok, there was a minor underchorus of "Kick Their Ass" with those last three beats as well. The Okies were stunned. Suddenly as a RattleSnake Strike their Domination of the Dome was Blown Away. They tried, but in seconds they had been shown that they were no match for the Tiger Fans and The Golden Band From TigerLand. <3
I got a tear. Thanks JV I had been looking for this post a few weeks ago. I have to spread the green dot love around first.
Isn't it truly amazing how 92,000 people who are A.) totally different B.) total strangers C.) of all origins/nationalities can totally unite in about the 2 seconds it takes for those notes to take place? Gives me the chills thinking about it...
Thanks so much for that post.... I have not gotten to read it. Needless to say it brings back a lot of memories.... got me choked-up and sniffling and gave me the chills all over. :grin: And yes, there is no other experience on earth like the GBFTL and being an LSU fan. Heather :geauxtige
Wow, could that cover be any more blantantly obvious as to the favoritism of USC as opposed to LSU that year? Heres a question... If LSU played in the Rosebowl in jan 04 and beat Mich by 2 touchdowns, do you think that they (the LA media) would have totally discredited that win? oh yeah I forgot.... The AP "Championship" only matters when USC wins it... I hate that mentality... the NCAA went 6 years perfectly fine with no "splits" until USC was in the position to kinda, sorta, maybe...win some kind of shirt-tail trophy. If you can't tell, I never bought into the whole split NC, and I NEVER will.LSU won it fair and square by doing there part to get there. They followed the rules and did just what they were supposed to. It just didn't make any sense to me. At the beggining of the season, the coaches agreed NOT to rock the boat. Whoever was #1 and #2, would play in the title game. The whole country made fun of Auburn this year for them "claiming" somekind of NC. But you know, USC did the same thing a year before (with the AP backing them up mind you) and everyone just accepted it? HOW DOES THAT NOT IMPLY FAVORITISM??? YET ANOTHER REASON WHY PETE CARROLL IS A BIG FREAKING BABY. USC has to be the biggest hypocrital college there has ever been (either them or bama) But anyways, what about that heisman pose JV is doing? :hihi:
