November 20, 1982 LSU-FSU, the greatest game I ever saw. The winner goes to the Orange Bowl, and it was a beat-down, 55-21. Everyone brought oranges to the game and the end zone wasn't green after we scored.

Then around half-time the fog rolled in and it was difficult to even see the players on the filed.

This game was so surreal it's hard to even describe the energy that night.

I looked at most posts here, and may have missed it if these three games were included, but here goes.

1. September 22, 1990. LSU loses at Vanderbilt, 24-21. A phantom offensive pass interference call on Todd Kinchen cost the team what would have been a great comeback. That call was every bit as bad as any in the 2006 Auburn game. Kinchen also dropped a sure touchdown pass late in the first half. He had a great career, but that was maybe his worst game.

2. September 7, 1996--LSU 35, Houston 34. A great comeback, as LSU was down by 20 points going into the 4th quarter and scored 3 td's in that quarter to win it. Kevin Faulk & Rondell Mealey had great games.

3. September 11, 2005--LSU 35, Arizona State 31. This was the debut of Les Miles. A key return of a blocked punt in the 4th quarter was crucial. I believe the game was played in Tempe. Maybe others can comment on that one.
