re: Favorite LSU versus Auburn Moment

A sentimental favorite is 2017
The next home game after losing to Troy State, #10 ranked Auburn jumps up 17-0 in the first quarter. It's 100 degrees in Tiger Stadium, noonish kickoff, and it looks like the wheels are about to fall off the Orgeron era. Leaving at halftime is starting to look like a real option.
Then Stephan Sullivan scores on a desperation 4th and goal end around, Gage makes a fingertip catch in the corner of the end zone, and Auburn inexplicably decides to punt to DJ Chark to open the 4th quarter - 75 yard TD.
It's not a meaningful game, in the long run, or an all time classic like 2001 or 2007, but it's absolutely one of my best personal memories in Tiger Stadium. I can't even verbally express how certain defeat seemed in the first half of that game, in all my years I don't think I've ever seen the Tigers claw their way back from that bad of a hole.
edit: thank you all for 20 years and 15,000 posts (actually over 20 years if you count Tiger Droppings 1.0, a very different-looking website which didn't even have post counts). If not for Chicken and Circus Child my law school GPA would've been significantly higher. Thanks guys
