Also, what was your favorite LSU bowl game to attend?

FWIW, LSU is 10-3 in our last 13 bowl games...pretty impressive!

I've been to all these LSU bowl games, and my favorite bowl game was the Sugar Bowl win over Illinois because IMO that was the year LSU was officially back on the map in terms of becoming an elite program again.

everyone since 97 expect for last year.
Orlando and that game is a dump.

Dallas, nola, and atlanta are all good trips bc cities are good.

I've been to several but none more obscure than this. It was strange to be playing the Vols in a bowl.

My first was the '83 Orange Bowl. I've been to every Sugar Bowl we've played in since the '85 Sugar, the 1996 Peach Bowl and both Cap One losses.

i've been to several bowls, but the one that stands out fun wise was the '88 hall of fame bowl in tampa. i separate bowls from NC's because if we aren't playing for the NC i consider the bowl as a vacation type thing where a fan can go and mix with the players and coaches and go to some of the bowl activities. unfortunately, we lost the bowl game because syracuse ran the option and we just did not know how to defense it (i think arnsbarger was our HC). the whole experience was great however and my young family really had a good time. we hung out with the players, cheerleaders, etc on clearwater beach and the game was a reward for a them after a long season. things were not so "money oriented" back then. the LSU players became my sons hero's (he was 6) and they always will be. eddie fuller, tommy hodson and many others, thank you for the memories. it was so cool watching my son going after autographs. he located a group of defensive lineman and approached them for their autograph. they were like giants to a 6 yr old (hell, to me too) and they hung around and played with him and some of the other kids for awhile. LSU runs a great program and our young men represent LSU and themselves with class.

1968 Sugar (1967 Season) vs Wyoming
1974 Orange (1973 Season) vs Penn State
1983 Orange (1982 Season) vs Nebraska
1985 Sugar (1984 Season) vs Nebraska
1985 Liberty vs Baylor
1988 Outback vs Syracuse
1995 Independence vs Michigan State
1996 Peach vs Clemson
1997 Independence vs Notre Dame
2000 Peach vs Georgia Tech
2002 Sugar (2001 Season vs Illinois)
2003 Cotton (2002 Season) vs Texas
2004 Sugar/BCS Championship (2003 Season) vs Oklahoma
2005 Capital One (2004 Season) vs Iowa
2007 Sugar (2006 Season) vs Notre Dame
2008 BCS Championship (2007 Season) vs Ohio State
2008 Chick-Fil-A vs Georgia Tech

Favorite would have to be the 2004 Sugar and winning the NC by beating Oklahoma and their overrated Heisman Trophy QB. Least favorite would have to be the Capital One Bowl with their Stadium in the Ghetto and the wonderful Saban coaching job. I can also say that I like all of the games in Atlanta including bowl games and the SECCG. It is just the perfect setup with the proximity of the hotels, restaurants, Centennial Olympic Park, etc., etc. to the Georgia Dome.

these. the 2000 peach bowl was my favorite. Exciting 2nd half turned the Georgia Dome into Tiger Stadium. The LSU crowd was as loud as I've heard them get away from Baton Rouge. The '05 peach bowl is very close too because of my disdain for the Miami Hurricanes.

1995 Independence Bowl LSU 45 Michigan State 26
1996 Peach Bowl LSU 10 Clemson 7

Haven't missed a bowl game since 1988. Also went to both of the Sugar Bowls against Nebraska in the 80s.
