I'd lean toward Oregon, they're not a nothing team and it's our first game. We all remember the first game of the previous season. The one against UNC.

For me though, I'd have to say the Arkansas game. We didn't seem ourselves and then after halftime it was like a sleeping giant was woken up. We tore into them and shredded them. The same thing can be said about the UGA game in the SEC championship.

That was awesome. I'll never forget it.

Auburn easily. Mingo killed it as well as Landry just decapitating their return man. Also, after Auburn's run with sCam, it was even sweeter to bring them back to Earth.

Oregon was the best for me. I have a lot of friends their and we don't get to play them often. Plus, they really thought they were going to win, much less make a game out of it.

^This. However, for me starting the season the way we did on the national stage against Oregon with all the big plays wasn't bad either. Hell, you could make the case for several games. Can't wait until next year to see more!

WVU for me. I felt like it was a game for WVU to show the world that they were part of the elites. Their fans and team were beyond pumped up and we overcame those adversities and beat them at night.

Florida and Auburn.

O came out and stomped on their asses from the opening kick off. That was true domination, just two truly sterling performances.

The first part of the 3rd against auburn had the Stadium in a frenzy that was truly unique. It was just a tidal wave as the players on the field made play after play. And the "we want bama." I get chills just thinking about it.

That game plus the 2 week buildup to Bama 1 was the climax to the season. it was never quite the same for me after that. Even though UGA and Ark were a lot of fun, they weren't on the same level because we were dealing with the Offensive crapfest and frustrations from the previous 2 years all over again.

Anyone on here that says anything other than Nov. 5th is being dishonest.

Nov. 5 'Bama for obvious reasons.

2nd is UF. That wasn't as much a game as it was a celebration of LSU's all-around awesomeness. It was completely one-sided. I can't remember LSU ever dominating the Gators in all phases like that.

Nov. 5 was the biggest win by miles, but Auburn and Florida were more fun. My favorite games were the 3 games that LSU played its best ball. UO, Aub, Fla. LSU didn't play its true "A" game in the Bama, Ark, or UGA games, so those weren't my favorites.

The Auburn game was the crescendo to 8 straight weeks of shite stomping anything and everything in the path. It was a personal favorite of mine. Sorta like VT is my favorite of 07. Best game the tigers put together all year, even though Fla was the biggest win.

Also given the benefit of hindsight everything about Nov. 5 just seems silly. Everyone in College Football built that game up, and then the same people were arguing about how it might not matter as soon as it was over. LSU fans will always have mixed feelings about Nov. 5 because looking back it feels so much like we were all sold a bunch of bullshite. Not saying Bama didn't deserve to be in the Title game. Its just that everyone had called it an elimination game and a de facto NC game and then boom, Ok. St. shits the bed against Iowa State. That game doesn't get to be the cornerstone that it was supposed to be for a truly great Tiger team.

I liked the Oregon game the best. I know we were number 4, but I think people were not sold on LSU with JJ and JL and with all of the distractions and then with Kragthorpe, we went out and beat Oregon solidly. Plus I was there at the game and got to eat at In N Out twice while in Dallas, so it was a win all the way around.
