All of my cousins who went to Ohio State stayed at my parents house in Baton Rouge, and they all went to the game together. I was living in Virginia Beach at the time, so couldn't go. The outcome probably saved a few lives as my family are major LSU fans and all the kinfolk are Buckeyes.

I was at the 2007 Natty in the Superdome and sent 2nd place cards to the losers in Ohio. Great memories...

I was living in VA Beach also then (as I am now). If you remember, ABC had regional coverage as usual, and were probably showing Duke/Wake Forest or some BS instead of the tackle football game between us and Ohio State.

I remember late in the game, they went to the studio and the host said words to the effect: " LSU is up 13 late in Columbus, it looks like the Buckeyes are going down at home". The next thing I know, I see a final score flashing up that we had lost. I was sure it was a mistake. Remember, there was no Internet back then to keep up with current scores.
