Shake It Up and Read All About It!
Join us at Hill Memorial Library for a fascinating night of football and earthquake talk with two speakers! Sam King, longtime Baton Rouge sportswriter, and LSU Associate Professor of Geology and Geophysics Juan Lorenzo will come together to talk about LSU Football, seismology, and the legendary "Earthquake Game" of October, 1988.
Shake It Up and Read All About It! LSU Football and the "Earthquake" at Tiger Stadium will touch upon the memorable 1988 "Earthquake Game", LSU Sports coverage in general through the eyes of legendary Baton Rouge sportswriter, Sam King, and a glimpse at seismology and athletic events with Dr. Lorenzo and his Seismeauxbile.
This event will take place on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 in LSU Libraries Special Collections in Hill Memorial Library. The event is free and open to the public.
Held in conjunction with our exhibit, "Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium", the exhibit, including our first ever touchscreen display, will be available to view. See the real seismogram from the 1988 Earthquake game. Copies of Sam King's new book, Tiger Beat: Covering LSU Sports for 35 Years (Acadian House, 2013) will be available for purchase and signing. A reception and signing will follow the talks. This event will surely have something for everyone!
