That's the game where Saban really lit into one of our defensive players the likes I had never seen before.

Freshman year right in middle of student section. Drenched in bourbon in the middle of the afternoon never felt so good! The whole vibe around campus leading up to that game and the rest of the year was insane.

Was a student.

The greatest sporting event to this day I’ve ever been to.

Stadium was unhinged.

I have the Georgia football that was thrown out of the stadium after their field goal.

Many posters call this the best game in Tiger Stadium history. Definitely seemed like the most important game I was lucky enough to attend.

Those posters are all less than 50. It was one of if not the best day game atmosphere. That Turd they laid with tOSU that cost a shot at a title in 87 was a really intense game (and loud).

With that, SC and some OM games plus UF in 97 and 2007 were up there.

I was in the student section as a junior in high school. That was back when you could get a special sticker to get in without a student ID. I've been to every game as a student and 15 years as a season ticket holder. That one is still the best one I've ever been to.

That was the kick start to the National Championship. The Skyler Green TD was an all-time classic, as was Jim Hawthorne's call of it.

Not sure if it’s pure nostalgia, but I’ve had season tickets since ‘98 and this is still the best game I have ever been to.

The UGA fans were absolutely shocked that they lost to us that day. I had season tickets in the south endzone back then and the Uga fans were really salty. Then we curbed stomped them in the seccg. Over 300 yards rushing. I’m an LSU alum from Atlanta, a Marist boy, good friends with David Pollack, and he hates LSU to this day.

What a great game. We went to game day in the morning, the game was great. When UGA hit that 90 yard screen the stadium responded with LSU chants, then green with the touchdown.

After the game got to meet the game day guys after the last film and Lee corso came out and signed a bunch of stuff for us.

I was in the student section and started the lsu chant after the Georgia screen pass for a touchdown. The entire stadium transcended in that moment. You’re welcome.

ETA: God damn I’m now 41 yo

I had tickets to that game. Had to walk back to the house, ran into some folks there. Took a hit and fell asleep. Found out LSU won when I woke up.

I tell people the same thing. Skylar Green’s TD catch happened right in front of me. My favorite single moment ever in Tiger Stadium.

This was the 1st of 2 games against LSU that broke David Pollack. Loudest game in Tiger Stadium.

My 3rd year at LSU. One of my top games.

While SG5 TD was awesome , the game wasn’t sealed until CW13 INT on our own 20. UGA was driving to tie the game.

That game day was excellent. The last one at the pmac. The historic GOAT sign of pollack hangs out in Coates bathroom.

We also had a really drunk guy near us screaming let me learn you something at UGA fans and then puking and rallying

Freshman year as a student. About 10 people fell on us from above the 3rd row of the student section. I jumped off the bleacher to the stairs to avoid it. Great times lol. Still the loudest 2:30 game I've been to at LSU.
