Best Win: '97 Florida...crowd was sustained loud for all 4 quarters. Something good was always happening.

Best loss:'97 Auburn. LSU made a heroic comeback to take the lead late behind the insane night of Cecil Collins 27 for 232yds but Dinardo shat the bed by calling for a pass on 4 & 1 that would have sealed the game instead of running The Diesel (who was unstoppable that night). Then frickin Dameyune Craig (who was equally impressive that night) drove Auburn down for the game winner with almost no time left. Still the most fun I've ever had in a loss.

1971 ish- Bert Jones to Brad Davis- 1 second left to beat Ole Miss.
Also first Notre Dame game in Tiger Stadium (28-8 Tigers). (In the age prior to politically correct speech, and no double entendre concerns, Tom Gatewood- Irish All American wide receiver, when asked about our tight pass coverage, said Casanova was "playing inside my jock strap all night.")

UAB 2013 (not a good game, but Odell's FG return for a TD was great) Auburn 2013 (stiff dew game) A&M 2013 (completely shutting down JFF) Arkansas 2013 (#6heismans, last game that Neck was played) Ole Miss 2014 (loudest game I've been to, rushing the field is something I'll never forget) Alabama 2014 (good game even though we lost) Auburn 2015 (Fournette went wild, totally beat down Auburn) South Carolina 2015 (HBC's last game) Florida 2015 (very entertaining game) Texas A&M 2015 (carrying Miles off field) Ole Miss 2016 (Fournette breaking the single game rushing record)

You are a young buck huh!
UGA and Auburn 2003 for me!

I am telling you that the 1979 USC game was up there with any game in LSU history. Especially by the student section. We stuck around for 20 minutes after the game, in our seats, chanting LSU. Then on my walk out of the stadium it continued.
BTW, we lost the game. I was at the Orange game against Florida State and other great games. I would not be where I am today, as far ad an LSU fan, if not for that USC game. I truly wish the younger fans could go back and be part of it. You couldnt go to the bathroom because students were sitting 2-3 across on the steps. It was unreal.

Alabama 2012.

I was in from 2012-2016 and all of OPs are on there for me. But this stands alone on top. That was the biggest game I've ever been to in sports. The context of the game plus the build up. And it was freshman year as an out of state student so obviously I was very green to the SEC still. That is an experience I will never forget.

AUB 2001. I was in TB and on the field when Damon Duval pulled his stunt. The crowds reaction was glorious.

Next would be 2000 Tenn. my SO year in TB.

1982 vs FSU for the Orange Bowl bid


This one. The oranges were flying around in the stadium like popcorn. You couldn't buy an orange in Baton Rouge, they were all in Tiger Stadium.

1999 Arkansas good way to end a dismal freshman season.

2000 Tennessee, wowed Saban and he bought into the Tiger Stadium magic. Recruits flowed in for the epic 2001 class.

2000 Alabama, ending the home losing streak.

2001 Auburn - crowd was vicious. Hate was in the air. SEC West title on the line. 15 yard penalty on Auburn for stomping on eye. Opening kickoff onside kick, Michael Clayton spearing an Auburn player, and Band getting in fight with Auburn kickers. Games made up due to 9/11. De facto SEC semifinals with UF and Tenn playing for East that day.

2003 UGA - we cheered louder after UGA's 90+ yard screen pass. Devery's long kickoff return and then Skylar's catch right in front of the student section. Unlike crowds of today, adversity was embraced

2003 Auburn - Defense was vicious. Chad Lavalais blowing Cadillac Williams in the backfield on 4th down.
