Games that still give you goosebumps

Any sport, what games were you in the stadium for that still give you goosebumps just thinking about them?
For me:
1) Football: Georgia '03 - right after Georgia scored on that 92 yard screen, stadium goes silent and then a slow methodical L-S-U L-S-U makes it's way around the stadium until the place is going nuts and you would swear we had just scored. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. They've tried to recreate more times than I can count, but never with the passion, meaning and thrill as that first time, that was awesome.
2) Football: Florida '07 - cliche' because it's going to be on most everybody's list. But, right after we scored and they announced the USC - Stanford score, don't know that I'll ever hear it that loud again. It was unbelievable
3) Baseball: 9th inning, Game 2, UC Irvine Super in '08 - heading in the 9th inning and possible last at bat ever in the old Alex Box, the atmosphere was electric and you could literally feel the magic in the stadium. And then to come back and win like we did. I'll never forget it(for those that want to waste 30 minutes: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4)
What else you got?

I don't get back for a lot of games, particularly in the past ten years or so but was at this one. The intensity and the hitting in this game may top any I have been present at. Plus, knowing LSU would most likely be ranked number one with a win ramped up the intensity for the fans.

1972 Ole Miss game - 17-16 - I still get goosebumps hearing John Ferguson make the call Bert Jones to Brad Davis.
2003 NC - Never thought it would happen in my lifetime.

When that pass was in the air the stadium was the quietest I've ever heard it. When that ball was caught it was the loudest I've ever heard it. One of my greatest memories during undergrad.

I'll stick with college football for now:
1. LSU-Florida - 2007
2. LSU-TN for SECCG - 2001 (we had a freakin' blast on this trip ...)
3. LSU-FL - 1997 - #1 goes down!
4. LSU-Ohio State - 1987
5. LSU-GA - 2003 (at Tiger Stadium)
The two NC's in the Dome stand apart. They were great but impacted me in a different way.

The goosebumps from the 2009 Ole Miss games would be enough to kill me in the end.

All of the games you listed, and I would add Tennessee 2000. We had just lost to UAB the previous week, and UT came in ranked #9 or so. Seeing the students section lining the actual sidelines before the game was even over was a sight I will always remember.

Games that I was in Tiger Stadium for -
1) Ole Miss 1970, seeing Archie Manning carted off the field on a stretcher to a chorus of "We want Archie"
2) Auburn 1988 - the Earthquake game. My wife had been telling me all game long "I thought you said this place was loud. When Tommy Hodson threw the winning pass to Eddie Fuller, I turned to her and said "Can you heart it now?" Her response is a treasured memory - "Hear it hell, I can feel it."

Haven't been to many, but...
2005 vs. AU...watching the ball doink off the post is still pretty fresh in my head.
2005 @ Bama...Silencing them in OT...the crowd was bitter that day.

My first Tiger Stadium experience. 1982 versus FSU with the fog rolling in is a close second. Third is the basketball game against Loyola-Marymount.

I've heard this so many times. Wasn't alive yet, but that thing must have been epic.

I was there, all of 14, and it was everything you hear and more. USC had an incredible team (Paul Mc Donald, Heisman winner Charles White and future NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott just to name a few).
LSU had an average club and should not have stayed on the field with the Trojans. However, the Tigers lost 17-12 in the last 30 seconds on a 30 yd. Trojan pass play. (Yes, I know about the phantom face mask on Benjy Thibodaux but I don't want to talk about it.)
However, more to the point, Tiger Stadium got loud from the opening kickoff and the noise never relented for the entire game. Not once. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Tiget Stadium that night lived up to its vaunted reputation and then some.
