Greatest Games Attended at Tiger Stadium

i can't believe you don't have the most famous game ever played in tiger stadium.

c'mon man.

LSU Florida 1997

there has got to be another thread on here similar to this

1995 vs Auburn was phenomenal. People often forget that Gerry Dinardo was the first step in the long process of bringing LSU back to national prominence. Just thinking about Twillie's pick to ice the victory gives me chills.

1997 vs UF, obviously.

1999 vs Arkansas was very fun.

2000 vs Tennessee.

2000 vs Bama (the replay game).

2003 vs UGA.

2007 vs UF.

To name a few.

Va Tech 2007.
May be the best game an LSU team played in TS.
Crowd was deafening. Only time I have ever seen a coach have to call consecutive time outs due to crowd noise. After Blacksburg 2002 it was awesome.

I'll keep it old school and give some underrated games, so that I do not add on to the 100 plus posts I am sure I have made that have '97 FLA, '00 UT, and '03 UGA on it.


1986 Notre Dame - Tigers struck early, but so did ND, as Tim Brown ran back the ensueing kickoff 100 yards. The greatest gaolline stand in TS history, arguably, occured that night. LSU won and got assurance that there would indeed be Sugar on NYE.

1993 Ole Miss - A 3-5 and already counted out LSU squad played host, on a painfully cold night, to Ole Miss - a team already going bowling. The Tigers were heavy underdogs and the Rebel option attack was striking early, but so did the Tigers. Jay Johnson, one of Hallman's "Fab 5", rushed for over 120 yards. Brett Bech and Scott Ray, along with Chad Loup, gave the Tigers a balanced offense and at times, shredded the Rebel D. Johnson, however, scored the go ahead TD late in the 4th. Ole Miss moved the ball down the field and set up for a GW FG with no time left...wide left. The Tigers won what seemed like a meaningless game...until the next week when pigs most certainly flew.

1996 Houston - The first game to come after a winning season, and a bowl win with it since 1987, Tiger Stadium was pumped to the max. Houston was not going to be a pushover. Ahmmad Green and the Cougars got up to a 34-14 lead and all hope seemed lost. The remaining faithful who stayed would be in store for a treat. Kevin Faulk ran a punt back and would go on to rush for over 200 and Rondell Mealey would quickly become a household name as the Tigers extended their winning streak to 5 games dating back to last season. The 35-34 win would be the first of ten - also the first double-digit win season also since 1987.

1998 Georgia - Can also go under "most heartbreaking games in TS", but it was still one that I won't forget. Quincy Carter and Champ Bailey vs. Herb Tyler and Kevin Faulk. Tied at half, the game was back and forth. Georgia drew first and last blood and edged LSU by a point. Carter might have made the greatest impression in Tiger Stadium history as an opposing QB, as he was nearly perfect. Bailey was as menacing on both sides of the ball as Charles Woodson. The Tigers would go on to lose 7 of their next 8; previously being ranked 6th in the AP poll before the loss.

Didn't you say your uncle was the Rooster? Charles Barberie? What's he doing these days?

Rooster...

He is my uncle. He still has a show on the weekend I think and he's still wired into LSU more than any human being in the history of the world. I haven't asked yet, but I'll probably be at the family tailgate for Vanderbilt.

He doesn't just have encyclopedic knowledge of LSU sports, he's a really cool guy. And I'm not saying that just because we're related. Besides, one of his favorite activities (other than playing with his grandkid) is giving my mom a hard time.

2008 Troy St... I stayed.....no i did not
