That's BS, there were 2-3 seconds on the clock when he caught it, there was enough time left we had to kick off.. dumfuk

That was one of the most memorable games that I've ever seen in the Valley. Heck, I even watched it from the best seats that I have ever gotten.

It still amazes me how so many foolish fans don't give Les any credit for fitting in that pass play with time running out. They would have definately had time for the FG even though Flynn took too long getting the play off.

Was probably my favorite moment as an LSU football fan. I attended the 07 title game and winning the championship doesn't amount to the high I felt on that one play. Damn, tiger stadium and lsu football used to be rocking. Byrd was so clutch. Ashame he got injured. I figured he'd have had a long career. He simply didn't drop balls.

The stadium was so loud that night. Amazing game and amazing catch by Byrd.

That shot of Miles on the sideline is probably my favorite Les moment. He starts celebrating before everyone else. It's awesome. I miss the early Lesticles days

There was plenty enough time to throw a pass into the end zone, but Flynn took forever to get the play off.

Was there that night. Remember explicitly yelling "what the f*** are we doing?!" as Flynn took the snap. Will never forget it.

I remember this vividly.

My first son was born the summer of 2007. He was a few months old when I was watching this game. He was laying on a bouncer in front of me and I was sitting down. I remember watching them line up thinking "WTF are they doing! Hurry up and snap the ball!". When Flynn threw the ball and Bryd caught it, I jumped up and as I did my foot hit the baby's bouncer and flipped it over. He was fine before anyone asks.

I'll never forget it.

First, no. But second, I'm glad Byrd caught that because I have no faith in Colt David making that 39 yard field goal to win the game. Colt David was a great kicker but he had way too many shanks from under 40 in his career for me to feel comfortable there.

No, we'd have kicked a 40-yard field goal for the win.

I was in the North End zone waiting for the Timeout and kicking unit to come on the field. Then they line up which was actually ok since there were 20 seconds on the clock.
But then it gets down to 11 seconds and I distinctly remember yelling “SNAP THE frickING BALL!” over and over because I had lost al composure.


Then what happened made me yell louder than I’ve ever yelled at any game including the Florida game that same year.



My personal favorite tiger stadium moment.
