Top 4 for me in chronological order

Auburn 1980 - in the student section - this may bias my experience

Arkansas 2011 - had a hog fan being obnoxious initially, he ended up leaving early

Georgia 2018 - When I knew for sure we had a gem in Joe Burrow

Bama 2022 - because it was just awesome

USC 1979 even though we lost. Benjy Thibodeaux was flagged for a phantom face mask when USC was offsides leading to a USC win. Charlie Mac went to his deathbed saying it wasn't a face mask.

1997 LSU FU beating #1 SOS

Auburn onside kick game was fun.

UGA 2003 for me with UT 2000 a close second.

UGA 2003 was the game to say we have arrived. I will never forget the move Shyrone Carey made to make the first TD.

I think probably one of the greatest moments ever in Tiger Stadium history is when UGA scored on that 93-yard screen pass to tie it at 10. Instead of the whole stadium going silent where you could hear a pin drop, the exact opposite happened. As soon as UGA scored the touchdown the stadium instead chanted LSU LSU LSU LSU!! It completely changed the momentum, you had to be there to understand. I think after that season or possibly after the 2007 season that type of magic is gone forever. I think in the second half last week if we would have done something similar after a Bama TD who knows what would have happened.

Been so many great games I've attended in TS, but I'll cull it down to a few:

1958 Ole Miss 0, LSU 14. First game in TS as #1. Ole Piss had pretensions to that spot.

I missed the 1959 Ole Miss game and I don't want to talk about it!

1961 Ole Miss 7, LSU 10. #2 Ole Miss would have vaulted to #1 with a win over #6 LSU, but Wendell Harris, Jerry Stovall and the gang prevailed.

1969 Auburn 20, LSU 21. LSU scored on first play from scrimmage, but Auburn under soph Pat Sullivan fought back. Bevan blocked XP in 4thQ to preserve win.

1972. Ole Miss 16, LSU 17. Ole Miss was preseason #1, but came into game 4-4 and about an 11 point dog. Ole Miss took lead with 3 minutes left, but Burt Jones drove the length of the field and hit Brad Davis with the famous 1 second TD.

1982. Fla State 21, LSU 55. It was raining oranges that night!

So many but these stand out...

1959 My first game in TS. The Billy Cannon TD punt return game on Halloween Night. We sat in the north ez upper deck and watched Cannon run away from us in the haze. That was when I was officially hooked even though my family lived in Natchez, Ms at the time.

1964 my first season as a freshman. LSU-OleMiss 11-10 victory as Doug Moreau caught a deflected Billy Ezell'aa 2 pt conversion as it headed out of the NE EZ. Ole Miss was our biggest rival by far at the time....GO TO HELL OLE MISS reverberated throughout the corridors of the stadium as fan exited. I'll never forget that! LSU defense gave up 89pts the entire season (11games)

LSU-Notre Dame nov 21,1971...LSU destroyed ND with Hamilton making the 'great' AA DB Clarence Ellis look silly. First time LSU fans rushed the field, and my wife and I were some of the first. Never forget those shiny gold helmets on those much larger ND player as we escorted them off the field. Glorious night!

And of course, Burreaux's last night in TS with a perfect 50-7 beat down of A&M after the travesty the previous year. Best team in college football season in history!

Many others, including rushing the field. (Fla comes to mind, Bama in 2022)

I do miss the old atmosphere (Mike at all games was special/unique) at the games though. The present game experience with the time outs, loud loud rap music, lack of real clever cheers, stupid stuff, etc is not nearly as appealing. I wish someone would call me and let me explain the difference.

though we lost, the 08 and 12 Bama games


08’ Bama game doesn’t get nearly enough credit. When we blocked that field goal…may be the loudest i’ve ever heard that stadium. And the most drinks thrown in the air.

For me as a season ticket holder

Auburn 1995 - Bring back the magic

Florida 1997 - we show flashes of competing at the highest level

Tennessee 2000 - making the climb to the top

UGA 2003 - we’re near the mountaintop

Florida 2007 - holding ground at the top

And I have to agree with the poster who said UA 2012 was awesome except the last 2 min and outcome.
