I've been to all these LSU bowl games, and my favorite bowl game was the Sugar Bowl win over Illinois because IMO that was the year LSU was officially back on the map in terms of becoming an elite program again.

everyone since 97 expect for last year.
Orlando and that game is a dump.

Dallas, nola, and atlanta are all good trips bc cities are good.

I was at the 2004 Cap One bowl. It was my first LSU bowl game. My wife is from Iowa. We were walking around holding hands with the different shirts on. People were smiling at us saying someone would be sleeping on the sofa tonight. I was heartbroken at the outcome. But we had a great time anyway.

Sugar Bowl New Years Day 1959 (1958 Season) LSU 7 Clemson 0. The only Bowl Game I have been to. I was only 12 at the time but had a great time in Tulane Stadium. The first College Game that I had ever attended. In those days the games on TV were in Black and White and I realized how much beautiful color you were missing but not having Color TV. Everyone takes Color TV for granted now.

I've been to several but none more obscure than this. It was strange to be playing the Vols in a bowl.

My first was the '83 Orange Bowl. I've been to every Sugar Bowl we've played in since the '85 Sugar, the 1996 Peach Bowl and both Cap One losses.

i've been to several bowls, but the one that stands out fun wise was the '88 hall of fame bowl in tampa. i separate bowls from NC's because if we aren't playing for the NC i consider the bowl as a vacation type thing where a fan can go and mix with the players and coaches and go to some of the bowl activities. unfortunately, we lost the bowl game because syracuse ran the option and we just did not know how to defense it (i think arnsbarger was our HC). the whole experience was great however and my young family really had a good time. we hung out with the players, cheerleaders, etc on clearwater beach and the game was a reward for a them after a long season. things were not so "money oriented" back then. the LSU players became my sons hero's (he was 6) and they always will be. eddie fuller, tommy hodson and many others, thank you for the memories. it was so cool watching my son going after autographs. he located a group of defensive lineman and approached them for their autograph. they were like giants to a 6 yr old (hell, to me too) and they hung around and played with him and some of the other kids for awhile. LSU runs a great program and our young men represent LSU and themselves with class.

Actually it was Archer's second year. We shared the SEC Title with Auburn oddly enough, lost two OOC games to Ohio St. (blew late lead) and Miami (skulldragged).

The trip must've been fun because the game was horrible. The second worst LSU bowl performance of my lifetime (the '85 Libertly loss to Baylor being the worst).

Favorite would have to be the 2004 Sugar and winning the NC by beating Oklahoma and their overrated Heisman Trophy QB. Least favorite would have to be the Capital One Bowl with their Stadium in the Ghetto and the wonderful Saban coaching job. I can also say that I like all of the games in Atlanta including bowl games and the SECCG. It is just the perfect setup with the proximity of the hotels, restaurants, Centennial Olympic Park, etc., etc. to the Georgia Dome.
