I was there. I think I was 15-16 at the time.
The play literally happened right in front of me. I was sitting on the sidelines around the 15-20 yard line. It was incredible. Kentucky fans yelling at all the LSU fans from a section over only to have the roles reversed in minutes.
I remember walking out the stadium and some college kid come running up to my dad and I talking shite. We had to tell him they lost.
On a side note the year before that game was just as nerve racking. We had to play in Lexington two years in a row, I was there for both.
If my memory serves me correctly, Clayton caught a game winning touchdown pass with less than a minute to play.

You are correct. What experiences you have. Let's hope we can get through this season with a little less drama. I don't think at my age my heart can take it!

I wish I was there. I loved the sideline reaction of The Battleship Lorenson and Coach!

I was in the upper deck on the visitors (LSU ticket allottment) side. When Kentucky kicked the go ahead field goal, most people around me stayed, including a young couple of recent LSU Alums who were in graduate school at Ohio State, a few hours to the North. It was their first LSU Game in 2 years. Sorry they left early. After the dogpile near the Kentucky bench, there was a scene of deflated bewilderment as to what had just happened.Kentucky students on the field and the Wildcat football team shrank from the field as if they were sedaated. Fans in Blue disappeared from Commonwealth Stadium in about 30 seconds. We remaining Tiger fans descended on the first level around the Golden Band while it played the entire LSU repetiore until the stadium announcer requested the stadium be cleared. We then followed the Band as it marched out of the stadium right through the premium tailgating area just north of the stadium, pausing to do a valedictory PreGame Salute to the delight of all of us in Purple/Gold and to the utter dismay of the still in shock Kentucky faithful.
The next day we went to the Patton Armor Museum at Fort Knox before flying home from Cincinatti. Also, on the morning of gameday, we toured beautiful Claiborne Farms, home of Secretariat. Obviously, a wonderful road trip!!

I was there. Sitting the LSU section in the upper deck. Kentucky kicks the field goal to go ahead. Commonwealth Stadium erupts. Things look bleak. LSU receives the kickoff and manages a mediocre return. Things look even bleaker. The Kentucky crowd is swarming and buzzing, sensing a historic moment for their program. Randall goes over the middle to Clayton for a modest gain. LSU takes its final timeout. The bleakest moment yet. The result appears to be a foregone conclusion. Kentucky students pour over the parapets and ring the field. The stadium resounds with insistent electronic Wildcat growls broadcast over the PA system, one after another after another. LSU trots out for the final play. The stands are rattling and vibrating as the Kentucky fans stomp the bleachers in ecstasy. A Paunchy Smurf sitting near me bellows some incomprehensible taunt-cum-warcry-cum-celebratory honk, his blue-clad manboobs all abounce. I put my head down as Randall rolls. My wife shrieks. I bolt upright to see the ball sailing through the air ... hanging ... (somewhere a cannonade echoes) ... descending ... well short of the endzone ... it's over ... F*CK ME ... then it's not ... WAIT ... as the ball ricochets ... NO WAY ... once ... NO F*CKING WAY ... twice ... NO MOTHERF*CKING WAY... Devery is in the clear ... I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING ... touchdown LSU. MY GOD MY GOD MY GOD MY GOD. My wife bursts into spontaneous tears of joy. I am suddenly on the ground, in the midst of a huge impromptu dogpile that was instantaneously teleported on top of me. I break free. Then I am hugging and kissing people I do not know and have never met. We are all one. Social boundaries are gone. Sheer jubilation. Silence has descended on the stricken Kentucky crowd. Paunchy Smurf throws his hat and doubles over as if to vomit. The field is chaos. The entire LSU team is a gold and white smear in one corner of the endzone. LSU students have been loosed upon the gridiron, running mindlessly in circles. My wife and I hold each and jump and jump and jump for joy.
Greatest reversal of fortune you can possibly imagine.

I was traveling that weekend. I set the VHS recorder for the game before I left on Friday. I told Lucy not to call me about the game because I cannot watch a game if I know how it came out. I wanted to watch it late on Sat. night.
So, I got home at midnight Sat. I put the tape in and watched. Fast forwarding through commercials. I walked downstairs and to my surprise Lucy was still awake.
Me: Why are you still up?
Her: Did you watch the game?
Me: Yeah, we lost.
Her: Did you watch ALL of the game?
Me: Not the last few seconds.
Her: I suggest you go back upstairs and watch all of it.

In 2002 I was a little younger and a lot less professional.
I was at work finishing up with some customers who were obviously either not LSU fans, or at the very least, clearly apathetic regarding the outcome of the game. I had an archaic little black and white tv in the corner of the lobby inside the office with the game on. My customers and I are exchanging our farewells as they are exiting the lobby heading to their car. Devery caught the ball at the exact moment the glass lobby door closed behind my customers and I begin screaming like a madman: "F*CK YEAH, F*CK YEAH, F*CK YEAH, YOU GOTTA BE F*CKING KIDDING ME." obviously still within earshot of my customers judging by the look they gave, peering back around at the glass door like they had just seen Linda Blair's head spinning, projectile vomiting scene.
I never heard back from those customers by the way.

I was there with brother, parents and girlfriend. Girlfriend wanted to leave with a minute left to go. I remember the fireworks being shot off in each corner of the endzone. The UK fans were shaking their keys and saying "overrated." LSU student section yelled back "at least we're rated." UK fans were doing their C A T S, cats cats cats" chant. LSU student section yelled back "J E T S, jets jets jets."
Then came the catch and EVERY Kentucky fan put their head down and walked out. It was as quiet as a church. Pure Hilarious!
A week later I broke up with girlfriend.

I was there. I had seats about 5 rows from the field, right next to the band. Final pulldown on the catch happened right in front of me.
I remember the fireworks behind the ball in the air - it was surreal. I remember the UK fan running into the endzone to shove Devery, and the dogpile.
The trumpet player next to me literally chucked his trumpet backwards to who knows where. It was unbridled chaos; complete meltdown. Never seen anything like it.
Older gentleman in LSU gear on the row in front of me was with his wife and son and the older guy thought he was having a heart attack. It was kind of scary because he couldn't talk or breathe.
The UK student section looked like a bunch of stunted lemmings falling out of the stands. You can see it a little on the replay but it's hard to describe how *many* UK fans were on the sidelines, right outside the field of play. Looked like 1/4 of the stadium down on the field.
Found the ticket stub last year. Still have some pictures saved somewhere with my old digital camera; I'll see if I can find them.

The funniest is when the band didn't come to Arizona in 03 but one of the band members snuck in a trumpet and lead the LSU section in all the songs.
It was a trombone player.

I was there front row. I would say end-zone maybe 2 yard line. I was able to get the great seats because I got them a couple of months in advance. Before driving there my buddy and I bought the first wild hair wigs they sold at the LSU shop on Highland next to planet beach. I think it was like an 11 hour drive. My girlfriends roommate at the time was from Lexington so we had people to tailgate with and show us around. I didn't have anything but nice reactions from the UK fans.
Like said we controlled most of the game they came back in the end and hit that FG to basically win it. As they lined up for the FG the fans started to get ready to storm the field. The stands were a good >6ft drop. There were police/security helping the fans get down onto the field. With most of the endzones covered before the kickoff. There was an LSU fan around me that went down as well wanting to storm the field as well before the kick-off as well.
There was the short kick-off, 10 yard pass and time out. At this time I am telling my gf and best friend how the ride is going to suck. Wouldn't it be great if we could get a hail mary to happen. There were the cannons or fireworks as described before. I actually couldn't even see Randall throw the ball because the male cheerleaders put their flags right in my way. I did see the tip and catch. I was like shoot he caught it but there is still a guy behind him and he broke the tackle. We went nuts and debated on jumping down or not. I jumped down, my gf and friend didn't went back up, then the LSU crowd around us went down so we all went down and celebrated on their field. I would say the best experience at an LSU game I had been too. LSU vs Tenn 2000 and 2001 sec championship were both a blast (esp getting to go to the Saints game the day after and Saints beating the Falcons)
I will see if I can take a pic of some of the pics from the game I still have
