1983- University of Washington.

We had started the season with a loss to FSU in Tiger Stadium, then an expected win against Rice in Houston. Washington was ranked #9 and expected to win; LSU was unranked.

Tigers took it to 'em in a blowout, 40-14. My favorite play was a Jeff Wickersham naked bootleg for a touchdown. He was in the endzone before any Husky knew what was happening.

Also, until the east upper deck was built, that was the largest crowd in Tiger Stadium. Up until that game all students had to do was show their ID to get in. As a sophomore, I watched sitting on aisle steps (along with many students doing the same).

LSU/Miss St 2000

Miss St beat the two teams that played for the SEC title back to back including putting up 47 on Florida. They had a 14 pt lead at the start of the 4th quarter. I did not see the comeback coming.

Ole Miss, 2012.

OBJ with the 89-yard punt return TD late in the game to tie the game up.

reminiscent of Billy Cannon.

Damn arky game that year still makes me mad.


yup. that was the first MIRACLE ON MARKHAM. matt jones only had like 5 completions all day before that drive.

shite was a joke. gave up two huge long passes at the end to choke and blow it. shite coverage.

the tunnel screen TD pass to skylar green was a thing of beauty. a jimbo staple.

meh. we were not beating UGA that year. we at least would have won the west 3 straight though. UGA mauled arky in SECCG.

13-13 tie v Ohio State in ‘87

What a strange game - from the Mexican standoff in coming out of the tunnel to fighting to a tie on a game it seemed like LSU was on the verge of blowing the Buckeyes out several times

unbelievable we had to block a FG to secure a tie. pete jenkins our DC had tears in his eyes as he looked to his DL to get the block. we shoulda won that game easily.

trashy spieleman spitting on andolsek. that game started out wild with hodson hitting rogie magee for a TD.

I always default to 2014 Ole Miss. they had just beaten Bama and were a top five team. The crowd got Bo so riled up he couldn’t play well and Rickie Jefferson (the most underappreciated Jefferson) got the game winning pick. Great stuff that saved a pretty shitty season.

2007 v Auburn

what is forgotten: the clock runs out if Byrd doesn't come down with it--we blow a chance to kick the WINNING FG (only down by 1)

It made Les look like a gambling genius when it was likely early signs of incompetent game managing.

I wish I could forget that game. What a worthless performance. LSU was playing like dog shite the first part of that season and it looked like Orgeron was going to get run out of town fast

That's quite an understatement. He was one of LSU's worst starting QBs but to be fair he was only playing because of Saban's hubris of keeping Mauck in a game v Florida waaay too long, even though the game had long been decided.

1986 vs Notre Dame- game solidified a sugar bowl berth. Close hard fought game- Lou Holtz’s first year there. We were the favorites but they were very scrappy. We had a great goal line stand in the south end zone. Was the loudest I heard the stadium up to that point.
