The funniest is when the band didn't come to Arizona in 03 but one of the band members snuck in a trumpet and lead the LSU section in all the songs.

It was a trombone player.

I was there front row. I would say end-zone maybe 2 yard line. I was able to get the great seats because I got them a couple of months in advance. Before driving there my buddy and I bought the first wild hair wigs they sold at the LSU shop on Highland next to planet beach. I think it was like an 11 hour drive. My girlfriends roommate at the time was from Lexington so we had people to tailgate with and show us around. I didn't have anything but nice reactions from the UK fans.
Like said we controlled most of the game they came back in the end and hit that FG to basically win it. As they lined up for the FG the fans started to get ready to storm the field. The stands were a good >6ft drop. There were police/security helping the fans get down onto the field. With most of the endzones covered before the kickoff. There was an LSU fan around me that went down as well wanting to storm the field as well before the kick-off as well.
There was the short kick-off, 10 yard pass and time out. At this time I am telling my gf and best friend how the ride is going to suck. Wouldn't it be great if we could get a hail mary to happen. There were the cannons or fireworks as described before. I actually couldn't even see Randall throw the ball because the male cheerleaders put their flags right in my way. I did see the tip and catch. I was like shoot he caught it but there is still a guy behind him and he broke the tackle. We went nuts and debated on jumping down or not. I jumped down, my gf and friend didn't went back up, then the LSU crowd around us went down so we all went down and celebrated on their field. I would say the best experience at an LSU game I had been too. LSU vs Tenn 2000 and 2001 sec championship were both a blast (esp getting to go to the Saints game the day after and Saints beating the Falcons)

I will see if I can take a pic of some of the pics from the game I still have
