I was there as a 12 year old with my dad!
We sat in the nosebleeds in the OU section. Easily one of the best days ever and a memory that I’ll never ever forget as long as I live!

I was there. The Oklahoma fans certainly fit the bill for being extremely arrogant to the point of telling LSU fans before the game “maybe next year, but at least y’all made it to the championship”. I work with a few OK fans and that win and especially the massacre of 2019 has really humbled them pretty darn good when it comes to talking football.

My ears rang for at least three days after that game. The crowd noise was piercing.

Yep. I was there. I was showing my grandson my ticket from that game. We were looking at his football and baseball card collections. I'm giving it to him, just wish it had an autograph or 2 on it

My now husband and I had just moved to Dallas and watched this game in a bar full of Oklahoma fans. It was glorious.

It's always memorable to win a national championship, but they played their best game against Georgia in the SECCG.

I was there! 10 years old, changed my life. I was already a huge LSU fan but that cemented me as a tiger for life!! We sat in the end zone one deck up and I watched Justin Vincent rip off that huge run right towards us and it was ON. Lost my voice by the end of the game. Can still remember Saban raising the crystal ball like it was yesterday!! GEAUX TIGERS!

First thing that comes to mind when this game is brought up is it being my first time seeing HD television. Neighbor ordered it on HD and half the block went over there to watch the game. Blew my mind, you could see the hair on their arms!!

The defense absolutely shut down what was considered at the time the greatest offense ever.

If not for offensive mistakes, LSU would have won by two more scores.

i'll never forger the half time talk the reporter asked about facing LSU's #1 ranked defense and Stoops very harshly clarified "they're the number 1 scoring defense we're the number 1 defense"

It’s only one of the handful of days that I cried. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I didn’t think I would ever see LSU win a championship. We are now spoiled. I remember the true joy of LSU beating Michigan St in the 1995 Independence Bowl. Now it’s hard to get excited for anything less than a playoff birth.
