One of the greatest games I've ever been too. Byrd was so fricking clutch every single game that year.

I was a freshman in the stands and we went ape shite. Fortunately there were similar finishes throughout the year, and that was the best football season of my life.



Unbelievable season.

Man, I want THAT Les Miles back. Keep Herman if we get the risky Miles back that wasn't scared to throw it every now and again. That Miles made for some very fun football games.


Yea, I said that last year. It seems after the loss at the NC game he seemed to pull it back and just played conservative.
Not sure WHY, his ballsy play calling was what I LOVED about him as a coach!
Players love this, good or bad, work or not, they rally around their coach knowing he will go all out and trust their team to make it work.

I often wonder if he took offense to being called the "Mad Hatter"?

You can't really believe this. Wait, yes you can. I keep forgetting how dumb and biased you are.

the call was fine, Flynn made a bad throw though that worked out

the call was throw to the back corner of the endzone where only we could catch it and if incomplete we kick FG

The to top it off the idiot doesn't go for 2 and we could have lost with a kr for a td. You pay coaches to think about shite like this.


now this is legit

I was screaming at Les about this


Did we have any timeouts? What if Flynn got sacked?

This requires video

One of my all-time favorite moments as an LSU fan.

Something else I noticed, went back and just watched the video and guess what....
The stands were full, the crowd was LOUD and it was Tiger Stadium!

Not sure what is going on these last couple years but we have NOT seen this kind of energy for awhile.
Pretty sad....

it was a 3 step drop to a go route

the OL would have had to let someone get a free pass to Flynn and then I still don't know if they would have had enough time

the INT was the much larger possible negative outcome

but yes, we did have a TO

Not possible. Watch the video and listen to the commentators.

No I remember the play and saying hell yes and then saying WTF but happy it was complete. Could not remember if we had a timeout, especially with Les's wonderful clock management.

It was perfect end of game clock management, we don't like to talk about this play here.

Took a shot into the end zone, 3 ticks left for a FG try.

Awesome game.

That season was gutsy. Same year we did the Fake FG against SC, went for it on 4th down 394 times against Florida, and played Double OT against Ark and UK, what a year!

That game was the reason I joined this board. I created my account for the sole purpose of finding tickets on the ticket exchange, which worked as I found a couple for face value.

I was in the west upper. We all thought Miles was running down the clock to call a TO and send the FG unit on, then suddenly Flynn was back to throw. I also remember mass confusion as it took so long for the crowd to react to the catch.

TigerDroppings changed my life.

Was in the stadium for that one. Remember walking out thinking "what the hell just happened? Who does that?"

ok, luck, but still it was perfect. Waiting and watching for the snap before the 7sec mark was quite nerve racking.

I would've kicked the FG.

I don't have a problem with the call as much as them not being ready and snapping the ball 15 seconds earlier.

One of my all time faves. I was in the 2nd row right in that corner and I thought Byrd was about to dive in there
