fake punt vs spurrier's south carolina team in '07.....


other end of the spectrum....Xavier Carter's return of a kickoff out of the endzone to take a knee at his own 1 against Georgia in '04...

I am an old-timer, of sorts, but this decade has been one for the ages for LSU football moments.

For me, it's a tie:
Russell-to-Doucet to win at UThug in 2006 (revenge from the UThug win in 2005 at TS).

Randle to Jack Hunt, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Devery Henderson 2002 at KY (and the looks on those KY students' faces )

and Geaux Purple and Geauxld Nation!

This is an old one and I don't know why it sticks with me, but Alan Risher to Eric Martin in 1982 against Florida State (the oranges game). It seemed like Risher threw the ball about 90 yards in the air.

JV put the BADDEST stiff arm ever on Sean Jones from UGA in the 2003 SECCG. It was like a 60 yard run to the house and I was sitting in an all UGA section. I remember the hick that was sitting next to me said "ewww hes fast, ewwwww hes real fast". The entire section was silent except for me and my wife we were going nuts.

anybody remember the bold part of this unbelievable beginning :

quote:


Play-by-Play Summary (1st quarter)
2001 LSU Football
Auburn vs LSU (Dec 01, 2001 at Baton Rouge, La.)

Test
Coin Toss:Auburn wins toss and elects to receive. LSU will defend the
South end zone.
A 1-10 A35 LS ball on LS35.
L 1-10 L35 PENALTY AU unsportsmanlike conduct 15 yards to the 50 yardline,
1ST DOWN LS.
Penalty resulted from Auburn's failure to leave the field timely
during pre-game warm up.

John Corbello kickoff 14 yards to the AU36, on-side kick, recovered by
LS on AU36.
L 1-10 A36 Rohan Davey pass incomplete to Josh Reed (Rashaud Walker).
L 2-10 A36 L. Toefield rush for 15 yards to the AU21, 1ST DOWN LS (Javor
Mills).
L 1-10 A21 L. Toefield rush for 2 yards to the AU19 (D. Thomas;Karlos Dansby).

John Corbello kick attempt good.

======================
AUBURN 0, LSU 7
======================

--------------- 6 plays, 36 yards, TOP 02:18 ---------------

John Corbello kickoff 64 yards to the AU1, Roderick Hood return 15 yards
to the AU16 (Michael Clayton;Adrian Mayes).


After starting the game with a penalty for AU stomping on the EYE, slick nick kicked an onside...got it...went down and scored, kicked off and Michael Clayton laid a punishing SPEAR tackle on the returner... i bet that was louder than the earthquake game...

Russell to Doucet in '05 against Arizona State. What a freakin' emotional roller coaster that was.

03 Alley Broussard running right over the South Carolina defender, I think there were cleet tracks across the guys chest. It was one of the best displays of power running I have ever seen.

Davey to Robert Royal over the middle for a TD. UT game in 2000 at TS to win it in overtime. Emotionally that was HUGE and the fans agreed rushing the field.

That was a sign that we were 'back' after the Dinardo debacle.

Honorable mentions

Herb Tyler's option run for a TD against the Gators in 1997.

Onside kick to start Auburn game in 2001 at TS.

Hodson to Fuller 1988.

Chad Jones knocking the ball away from Bama's SJP to preserve the Tiger victory over Saban/Bama in '07.

I have two of them:
Bert Jones to Brad Davis--circa '72 to beat Ole Piss 17-16.

Blocked FG against Auburn for a 21-20 win--circa '71

My Dad was a rabid LSU fan and these plays stick out in my mind like they happened two minutes ago.
The dates may be a bit skewed, but excitement of the moment lives on.

In 2003, when Mauck hit Green in the endzone right in front of the student section. It was my freshman year and we were on the second row.

The "earthquake play" , Bluegrass Miracle. Was there for the earthquake game, was sittin in the living room screaming like a maniac for the bluegrass miracle.

Oh, also, Byrd's reception with 9 seconds left to win the Auburn game.
