Been so many great games I've attended in TS, but I'll cull it down to a few:

1958 Ole Miss 0, LSU 14. First game in TS as #1. Ole Piss had pretensions to that spot.

I missed the 1959 Ole Miss game and I don't want to talk about it!

1961 Ole Miss 7, LSU 10. #2 Ole Miss would have vaulted to #1 with a win over #6 LSU, but Wendell Harris, Jerry Stovall and the gang prevailed.

1969 Auburn 20, LSU 21. LSU scored on first play from scrimmage, but Auburn under soph Pat Sullivan fought back. Bevan blocked XP in 4thQ to preserve win.

1972. Ole Miss 16, LSU 17. Ole Miss was preseason #1, but came into game 4-4 and about an 11 point dog. Ole Miss took lead with 3 minutes left, but Burt Jones drove the length of the field and hit Brad Davis with the famous 1 second TD.

1982. Fla State 21, LSU 55. It was raining oranges that night!

I'm going to toss in another great game I witnessed at TS:

1949. Southeastern 7, LSU 49. I consider this a "great game" because it was my first game in Tiger Stadium. My dad was a student at Southeastern on the GI Bill, and we drove over to BR for the game. The most unusual feature of this game was that although the Tigers enjoyed a big halftime lead, Coach Tinsley was not satisfied with the team's effort and took the first and second-string players out of the game and put them through full-contact drills on the nearby practice field.
