re: Outrageous moments in Tiger Stadium history?

1995: The Whistle Game: Auburn's quarterback Patrick Nix stopped play after a snap in his own endzone because he though he "heard a whistle." Turns out it was a fan in the Student Section. Resulted in a Safety. Then an intercepted pass on the last play of the game led LSU to a 12-6 victory, stopping Aubbie from going to the SECCG that year. Also this was the first time LSU wore white for a home game in like 15 years.

Also referred to as the "Bring Back the Magic Game." After 2 years of suffering through every moment of every football game (when you are in band, you can't leave in the middle of a blowout to go drink), that was a great reward.

That was the longest (and one of the most fun weekends during my time at LSU). The night before that game, the drumline had freshman "orientation" (silly stuff. No hazing) and then stayed up all night drinking. After the AU game, we obviously partied all night like everyone else.

TGBFTL then had to go play the Saints game the next morning. Half the band didn't sleep until the bus ride to NO. The Saints sucked and were playing the Falcons, who also sucked, so nobody gave a damn. Band members sleeping on the floor of the dome in sleeping bags during the game made the Times Pic Sports section on Monday. That obviously didn't go over very well.

My friends and I had tickets to see Pearl Jam at Tad Gormley Sunday night after the Saints game, so we were up late again, yet again. I could count the number of times I got out of bed Monday on one hand.
