which in turn leads us to this!!!
It was a stark contrast to the welcome Tennessee's team received when it arrived on campus two hours earlier. LSU fans rocked their buses and broke windows by throwing beer bottles at the Vols.
UT athletics director Mike Hamilton said the Tennessee party had four buses, and he was on the last one, which included other school officials and cheerleaders. "They were throwing bottles at the buses and that kind of stuff," Hamilton said. "The bus I was on, they broke three of the windows."
Vicky Fulmer, wife of UT coach Phillip Fulmer, was riding on the first UT bus and said fans threw beer all over it.
LSU officials explained that three cracked windows occurred after the UT buses mistakenly got behind the LSU team buses, which stopped as scheduled.
"Usually that never happens," LSU associate athletics director Herb Vincent said. "We keep the (visiting team) buses moving so the fans never get the opportunity to touch the buses."
LSU chief of police Ricky Adams said the incident was the only one reported prior to kickoff on a day when "everything was going well. It was a late-arriving crowd with traffic moderate to heavy. We have law enforcement out on post, and the crowd is about what I expected."
I seem to recall a game in 2002? where we were directly hit w/ a hurricane. Had to play lsu 2 days later. Had to practice in Blackham, maybe?? I remember USA Today and all the other state news agencies giving us kudo's for nuttin up and playing the game...I also remember lsu offering to move the game for us....
Wait...no I don't.....

i'm thinking y'all win that game, if not for the hurricane. god knows you were due. let's do one of those poll things y'all love on this site and see how the membership breaks down. all who say ul wins but for rita vote "ONLY CHARTER MEMBER OF D-1 TO NEVER BE IN A D-1 BOWL GAME BUT WOULD HAVE IF RITA HAD NOT HIT JUST BEFORE LSU GAME;" all those who think lsu would have won anyway vote "nah, we suck before, after, and during hurricanes and, really, all manner of meteoroligical events."
i'll keep everybody posted on the running total.
i'm still waiting for a relevant response from the aggies. all this other foolishness from them is typical.
