The greatest game EVER in Tiger Stadium?

Great story here LINK on the classic LSU-USC game in 1979.
Mrs. Boudreaux and I were there in the student section -- back in the days when students didn't need tickets and we just had to get our ID cards punched to enter the stadium. We sat in the aisle next to the band -- I never saw a more rabid and jam-packed home crowd.
Even though we lost, it really did feel like a moral victory.

I was there and consider it of the the 2 best games ever played.
I cannot separate it from THE Florida game.

My Favorite 5
1) USC in 79
2) Florida in 2007
3) UGA in 2003
4) Ole Miss in 70 (I was young. Archie Manning broken arm game).
5) Florida in 97
These are not necessarily the best, but my favorites.

UF in 2007 the combination of all the 4th down conversions and the USC lost to Stanford was epic

Although the 2007 game was memorable, IMO the 1997 meeting was THE Florida game.

One of my favorite childhood memories.
What the young uns don't understand is the sense of US AGAINST THE WORLD that LSU had back in the day. America was more Regional and it was a chance for us to show the world how WE did it.
Now everybody knows how we do it.
That game had such buildup the week of the game. Gym Nasium had a song on the radio, the whole city built to a fever pitch that week.
The stadium was SO renlentlessly LOUD.
The game exceeded expectations.
We were awful hurt we lost but so proud that we dictated the pace of that game and imposed our will on them.
The walk back to the car was like never leaving the stadium, it was so festive.
We knew we let one slip away, buy we were proud of OUR Louisiana boys.

UF in '97, no contest.

I watched that game with my 6 year old son sitting on my lap. Now he's in College and taller than me. I watched the LSU Ole Miss game in 1970 while babysitting two kids, to help my sister. One kid is now a general in the Army and that was the night the Exxon tanks blew up 15 miles away.
and I admit I rooted for Archie that night

Jones to Davis;. "The Night The Clock Stopped" -- #6 LSU survived an upset bid from unranked Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium by winning the game on a TD pass from QB Bert Jones to RB Brad Davis. Ole Miss fans say the 1972 contest featured a few seconds of free football. The Tigers trailed the Rebels 16–10 with four seconds to play. After a lengthy incompletion by Jones, the game clock still showed one second remaining. The Tigers used the precious second to win the game on the "last play," 17–16. A song was wrote to commemorate the game, called "One Second Blues", (track #11) which is featured on the CD "Hey Fightin' Tigers". The home-clock advantage inspired a sign at the Louisiana state line reading, "You are now entering Louisiana. Set your clocks back four seconds."
I was there....I still get goose bumps thinking about it now....The defense made Ole Miss settle for a north end field goal try on fourth and short with 2 minurtes remaining. I thought...can this happen...There was a guy there sitting close to us named Mike Fontham, who had been president of the student body a few years before when I graduated and he was at that time a law student at the Univ. of Virginia. After we got the ball, he stood up and started rallying the troops and he never,ever gave up, he just kept yelling the entire drive..."Tigers never give up...fight to the last second."
It was some big passes from Jones to Gerald Keigley that kept the drive alive.
Brad Davis caught the pass just inside the front part of the northeast corner of the south endzone in front of the Ole Miss fans.. What a night!!! There was an Ole Miss fan sitting by us in the north endzone that had been waving a small rebel flag the whole game. The friend I was with took out his cigarette lighter and lit that flag on fire and the guy was so dejected, he let it burn as we laughed..and laughed...and laughed.
P.S. The clock operator was correct in stopping the clock with 1 second left.

LSU's 28-8 victory over #7 Notre Dame in 1971 (televised by ABC). This was the best game I ever saw LSU's clasic beat down on Ara and the goldern dummers. Notre Dame scored late and went for two..all the drunks in the stands found that very amusing!

1. UF in 1997 was a biggie. Dad and I in tears
sharing a great father/son moment.
2. Auburn 1988 - the earthquake game.
3. Va Tech 2007 - we looked spectacular in every aspect of the game, and when it was over, you just had that feeling that we going to absolutely ROLL the entire season. And we did.
