They have this thread on the SEC Rant but idc about most of the games they are talking about.

My first game that I realized LSU was playing was LSU vs Auburn 1998,I was 6. The first game I watched and paid attention to from start to finish was the SEC Championship Game in 2001 vs Tennessee. I immediately fell in love with Dominick Davis.

Hardin Simmons, Oct.4, 1958. My first time in Tiger Stadium. My Aunts took their ten year old nephew and I still have the same season tickets.

Even though I was going to games before that, the first one that I have real memories of was the Ohio State game in 1987. I was 8 at the time.

1959 Sugar Bowl LSU and Clemson. I was 12 years old and remember sitting in the South End Zone at Tulane Stadium. All my Family was wearing Chinese Bandit Hats. I remember eating at Middendorf's after the game because we were from Amite. That was a great day for a 12 year old kid!

Auburn 2006. Around 2006 I got into football (I was young) and I remember watching that game and everyone in that house was absolutely livid throughout most of the game but definitely whenever the flag was thrown and then picked up. I also remember getting the ball back and we just couldn't capitalize.

1970 Notre Dame in South Bend. They were ranked no. 2. and we lost 3-0. I listened on the radio. Then we stomped Archie and Ole Miss 61-17 and lost in the Orange Bowl to Nebraska 17-12. I remember all these games, but those are my earliest.

Damn good season for first memories.

My first game attending in person was the LSU-Clemson Peach Bowl in 1996. I was 6 at the time, and the next year we got season tickets just in time for the 1997 Florida game, which is easily my favorite game to have attended in person. I still have the Florida football a visiting Florida fan gave to me in the stadium. They had carried the football to all the Florida away games and had never lost a game while carrying it until that night. Have been hooked ever since

83, great game!
Just remember as a child around mid 60's my parents driving up and I was fever sick; dad saying just bundle him up will be OK! Was probably one of the ATM games we won like 12-10 or something.
First Gump game I remember attending was the 69 20-15W; The Bear leaning against goal post during warm up.

The 1985 Sugar Bowl loss to Nebraska is my first clear memory, probably because of the abysmal 2nd half.

C'est la vie.

There was a lot of LSU games on TV at my house growing up. I remember watching them and being excited but I didn't really follow the team closely.

I recall the 1985 Liberty Bowl against Baylor, mostly because of the frustration everyone at grandfather's house were exhibiting.

I have very clear memories of my first game at Tiger Stadium. It was against Kentucky in 1987 and what stands out was that a crew was filming scenes for Everybody's All American" at that game.

I remember they had a halftime "ceremony" to celebrate a fictitious championship team from the 50s and I remember thinking "who the hell are these guys?!?"

Sept. 1983. My sophomore year :)
LSU had lost to FSU 40-35 in opener after being up 14-0.
The then single-game attendance record was set in this game vs Washington - 83,014. Day game. There were students literally sitting in the aisles all the way up and down the student section.
LSU won 40-14.

I was very young but I remember that one, because my first LSU game was the week before in DV - Oct 25 1969. LSU 21 Auburn 20.

We had a 23-12 lead on OM and Archie in the 4th at Jackson and lost 26-23. Mac could have gone for the tying FG and we would have ended up 9-0-1 and playing #1 Texas in the Cotton. But he tried for the win and missed.
