For those in attendance - when was last LSU game you watched live this competitive?

Had a good friend and his family who live in Houston go w me to the LSU vs UofH football game. Their 1st ever bowl football game live! As an LSU fan I was just hoping they would compete well and somehow figure out how to win another close game this season. With nothing but pride on the line for LSU they brought their A game (IMHO). The game literally went down to the last meaningful play w 1 minute left (onside kick) AND we had 2 chances (both receivers) to recover the ball! After watching replay on TV earlier this New Year's Eve I got to thinking - when have I seen a more competitive game in the last 4-5 years? I recall LSU vs ALA in 2022 that was at home and in the middle of the season which was an electric atmosphere. The game against UofH had opt outs galore for LSU and it was basically a home game for Houston. Despite all that this game will probably end up being best non-playoff bowl game in 2025. Good job Tigers. Way to represent! Hopefully w better players and coaching in 2026 we can win more of these close games.
