What game was it for you?



This was the most anticipated, intense, and exciting game for me at Tiger Stadium i can remember. LSU Football had arrived and Tiger Stadium was rockin all night. We had been waiting a long time to have something worth cheering about and this set in motion the thoughts of one day winning a National Championship. I think we all knew that it wouldn't be long!

I wish our fans still cheered the way they did during this game.

Its cyclical, we'll suck again - but hopefully not for a long time.

Ole Miss 1958 - first game after the Tigers were ranked #1 and they proved they were worthy - beat a good Ole Miss team 14-0.

UGA 2003

SEC Championship Game


The home game provided a huge boost of excitement. However, it was a home game and very winnable. The SEC Championship was a "neutral" game, had alot at stake, and LSU dominated it.

When we beat the shite out of Miami. Going into the game with Flynn, I thought they would rock us. We put a beating on them like I've never seen. I knew we were one of the elite programs then.

I still think it's one of the most impressive wins we have had.

I wish we still had those block letters in the endzone.

But once our offense gets rolling again, I think our crowd can get into it like we used to.
