re: Best LSU game you've seen...

I stand corrected.
It still sucked.

The LSU Auburn game where Cecil Collins ran wild...that was awesome...

I was only 1 year old when LSU played USC, so I can't comment on that one.

I thought the 1997 Auburn game was better than the 1997 Florida game at the time. Clutch drive by Dameyune Craig to go the length of the field to win it. Cecil went for 235 yds and Rondell Mealey added 129...

It was even more amazing when you see Tyler's horrid passing night.

Last saturdays game...may have been somewhat sloppy showing from both teams but the passion in the air was almost tangible...

"Tangible" - yes, I agree 100% - at the time I described them as "palpable"

This past Saturday was like a dream. A friggin' awesome dream. Then you wake up to reality.

'It's now Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium'...

wow, what an experience.

Orange Bowl to Nebraska in early 80's when Nebraska was dominant. 21-20 it was.

Unfortunately, the call was correct. It was a facemask as two LSU defenders were sacking USC quarterback Paul McDonald. A photo of the facemask grab was printed in the Baton Rouge Advocate the next day. No doubt about it. However, many people said that they say the USC offense jump before the ball was snapped, and the refs missed the false start.
