The Auburn Sucks game.

I have some awesome memories from the 2005 game, though.

2003... media was still fawning over them. They were a preseason title favorite, lost to SC, then won 5 straight coming into Tiger Stadium. Everyone thought they would beat us and get back on track to their title run.

Atmosphere was electric. Game was never close.

Mauck hits Devery for a 70 yard touchdown strike about a minute into the game. We were up 21-0 in the first quarter, and then Saban decided to take it easy on Tuberville, coasting to a 31-7 win.

01 was awesome... Michael Clayton on special teams completely laying out a kick or punt returner (I can't remember which). It was nasty. Both players were shaken up. Also, Auburn's kicker mixing it up with one of our band members was pretty cool too.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to go to the earthquake game, so I'll base it off the ones I attended.

I attended every LSU/Auburn game from 1989 to present except for 2008.

1996 or 2001 had to be the most fun. Watching the pure domination in 2003 was great also. Even though we lost 7-3, I still think the 2006 game was one of the best football games ever.

1994 was certainly the worst game I've ever attended, not just in the LSU/Auburn series.

Earthquake game was before I lived down here. I was in the student section for the "Bring Back the Magic" game in '95...I'll go with that one.

The Earthquake Game in 1988.

I also attended the games at Auburn in 2006 and 2008. I liked 2008 much better. What a waste the refgate game was in '06. I still have bad memories of us not throwing the ball downfield with JRussell, Bowe, Davis, and Doucet. Unreal.

In current times, games I was at...01 game because of the way it started and we dominated, sending us to the SECCG.

But one of the first was a day game in 70 or 71...trick play to score a td on the first play. Just because it was fun to watch.

Haven't read through these, but to me it has to be the 2001 game. It was moved to the end of the year because of 9/11, and it was set up that the winner would play in ATL. When we recovered the onside kick, scored, and Clayton crushed the return man on the opening kick, I knew the route was on. There were quotes in the paper from Auburn's FR CB Roderick Hood about how he would shut down Josh Reed. It was awesome. LSU had been down for a while, so there was some pretty intense emotion around BR at that time.
