    One of the most bizarre games between Tulane and LSU came in Baton Rouge onNov. 26, 1938. As Tulane was putting the finishing touches on a 14-0 win over the Tigers,a huge brawl broke out both on the field and in the stands. In an attempt to quell the melee,the Tulane band began playing the National Anthem and it worked as all participants in the fight stopped to honor their country. The move was only a momentary stoppage, however, as the brawl resumed when the final note sounded.

    PURPLE TIGER HOPE is not a strategy!

    I remember the game in Tiger Stadium in 1984. LSU won the game and the fight that year. The final 40 seconds or so were never played as the officials ended the game once the players were separated.
