I went with some friends to Baton Rouge to this game. Some things I remember:
-Being encircled by LSU fans as we walked on campus as they yelled "Tiger Bait" at us.
-All the LSU fans booing when the Alabama team arrived. A guy by us who was problaly 6'6 300 lbs picked up an LSU fan who was extra hateful and said, "He created you and now he will destroy you. Prophetic.
-Game environment was incredible. Will never forget going to OT and the PA Announcer saying, "The sun has found it's home in the western sky and it's Saturday night in Death Valley electric."
-The winning TD and the dismay of the LSU crowd.
-A kid, no more than 7 years old, running up to us after the game holding an opened can of Natty Light saying, "Alabama sucks"
-Getting out of town as quick as we could because those people were mad.
On the heels of Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford, we look back at another emotional coaching return in 2008 ...
Nick Saban's return to LSU, but this time, as head coach of Alabama 🐘
