re: Are you willing to admit that you have cried real tears during an LSU football game?

So glad you asked....

When I was a kid (somewhere around 8-10 years old) watching them in the Hallman years, I cried a few times after close losses. I was inconsolable after we threw away the game against Auburn in 94.

I had a year to stew about it, but I was a year older and when Auburn came to TS in 95 I climbed, with my family, to the top row of the west upper deck, and I was excited but now mature enough to weather my expectations, especially considering they were a top 5 team and we were trying to rebuild after the worst era of LSU football.

But then we scored an early TD, and the defense played lights out, and Lo and behold we had a 6 point lead late. And then they started mounting a late drive. With every first down I got more nervous, thinking “oh Lord not again.” I remember holding my dad’s hand shaking when they lined up on 4th down with 4 seconds left. I couldn’t take it.

Then Troy Twillie intercepted Patrick Nix’s pass.

That is the only time in my entire life I have ever cried tears of joy. And not just cried, sobbed. My dad lifted me up and bear hugged me, I didn’t sleep for days, and 20 years later my Tiger Droppings handle was born.

Still the best LSU game I’ve ever experienced, and perhaps the single best memory of my childhood.

Never cried. Closest I came was Warren Morris’s home run. The highest vertical leap in my life, repeated about four times. Still the most extreme 4 second reversal from despair to sheer bliss I have ever experienced.

Stayed up all night in 03, 07 and 19 though.

Probably the closest I've been was at the Burrow Heisman speech. Not that the result of games doesn't invoke some emotions but it's never made me cry. And not judging anyone that did. Just didn't hit me that way.

Cried like a baby for joes entire heisman speech.

Same for me. Crying pure joy for the lsu tigers that had a GOAT and he played QB!

Also my dad was on field bc he was letterman so that was cool.

(no message)

I’ve been moved to a few tears/watery eyes over a win, but have never shed tears over a loss.

Cried after the 2017 CWS loss. I loved that team.

Tough game back in early 2000s at Auburn
Kyle Williams cried walking off field
I did too.
