It was the night we beat Oklahoma for the BCS...sitting on the curb just chilling out post-game and saw this woman walking what looked like a small dog. As she got closer, I saw it was a baby Bengal Tiger; couldn't believe my eyes until I stood in front of her (along with 10 other fans). She picked him up, bottle-fed him, put him back down and walked away...Never forget that night (and yes, I was sober.)

Sometime during the Eddie kennison years I took my son to see them play Tulane in the Dome. Tulane punted to Eddie and he ran it back for a touchdown, but it was called back because of a penalty.
I joked with my son, "That'll piss eddie off, and he'll run this one back." And sure enough, HE DID! we laughed and hollered, it was great. I told my son, that will never happen again.

For overall excitement though, I was again with my son at the 2007 Florida game. Tension, volume, drama, effort...that game had everything. The best damn football game I've ever watched, in person or on TV.

#1.2005 Bama thought they were good again and we beat them in overtime.

#2.Garret Temple shutting down JJ Reddick and then seeing JJ try on the bench.

#3.The day Jefferson took his last snap. That was also my worst day.

Billy Cannon's 90 yard run against O'll Piss in 1958. I was there & the noise was out of sight! Went on to win the NC.

LSU beating Wichita State in the regional finals in the Superdome to get to the Final Four in 1981. 60,000 screaming Tiger fans in the Dome, the atmosphere was unlike anything I've ever experienced.

Also, LSU beating Ole Miss 17-16 on the last play of the game in 1972. Bert Jones to Brad Davis. I'll never forget the feeling.

actually, LSU won the national championship the previous year, 1958. Cannon's Halloween run was in 1959. We had a rematch with Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl in '59 and got crushed 21-0.

Warren Morris' walk off home run in the CWS.

The Herb Tyler lead Tigers that upset #1 Florida in Tiger Stadium.

The Blue Grass Miracle, which I was so glad to catch live on TV....

Being in the GA Dome in the same endzone where Jonathan Xenon intercepted UT and ran it in for what ended up being the winning touchdown in the '07 SECCG. Oh, and then watching WVU lose to Pitt later that night.

Not to get picky, but it was an 89 yard return, not 90. That's the most famous play in LSU football history. Every Tiger fan should know.

Mikie Mahtook's last game at Alex Box, the tears, the cheering and yelling and the hugs from his teammates as he walked off the field and the way he tipped his hat to the fans. Love Him!!!

Dec 1, 2001 - beating Auburn 27-14 (a game that had been rescheduled after the 9/11 attacks):
The announcement comes over the P.A. that Tennessee had just beat Florida & would face US for the SECCG; a guy in a Santa Claus suit stands up, turns around to the South End Zone crowd, & quite loudly requests "A Moment of Silence for Steve Spurrier!"
Several hunderd fans laughed their asses off.

Actually, it was at the 2003 showdown against Georgia, which we were forced (by TV) to play in the afternoon - the game dragged on toward sunset, with the end still very much in question, and at about 5:00 p.m. the announcement comes over the P.A. that the Pershing Rifles in the North End Zone have now retired the Colors . . . because it is now SATURDAY NIGHT in DEATH VALLEY! The whole place roared like it has seldom done before or since.

Even though it was short-lived, being in Tuscaloosa this past season and watching the tigers win in OT was one of the best moments that i have been apart of, other than that, making Tebow cry in the 2007 NC season definitely is in the top 5

I was at this game, in the student section. Webster's INT in the fourth is my favorite TS moment.

Warren Morris walkoff for the NC is probably my favorite LSU sports moment, though.

Brad Wing's fake punt against UF brought the stadium down.

I think my favorite moment though, was the 2011 SECCG game. It was my first time as a student that we won a title and we where front row. It was surreal.
