re: Favorite SEC game you’ve attended against each team

Bama - 1988 - being in that stadium & watching Phillip Doyle miss the kick at the end by inches was incredible; 2011 9-6 game is a close 2nd

Auburn - 1996 - barn burning game; been to a bunch of great games in this series

Florida - 2007 - quite possibly the greatest game I've ever attended; 1997 upset over #1 was fun also

Georgia - 1987 - I think this was my first ever away game. Remember seeing Kevin Guidry make an interception to clinch the victory; All 3 SEC Championship victories were also great

Tennessee - 2006 - LSU touchdown with just a few seconds left to win the game; 2010 game was the most memorable though with the miracle 13 men on the field penalty

Ole Miss - 2003 - LSU crushed Eli's hopes

Miss. State - 2007 - Thursday night season opener blowout in Starkville

Texas A&M - 2012 - Beating Johnny Football in College Station; 1986 was a fun home win memory too

Arkansas - 2006 - top 10 matchup in Little Rock

Kentucky - 2011 - Honey Badger show

South Carolina - 2012 - top 10 matchup; 2007 fake field goal game was great as well

Vanderbilt - 1997 - only close game I've attended in this series

Missouri - haven't attended any LSU/Missouri games yet

We were sitting on the West side around the 25. From that view it looked like he was wide from the start. In fact the 'Bama fans were all bummed when it went off his foot.

Later that night out for dinner ESPN was showing highlights of the game. The camera angle they used was beind the goal post. I about died seeing how close he was.

Florida: 2007. 1997 is a close second, but to this day the 2007 game is the only time I've left a football stadium as a fan physically exhausted from simply watching a game. The humidity and tension created as surreal and nerve-racking environment that hasn't been topped since.

Georgia: 2003. Stayed up all night tailgating for the "early" kickoff. Georgia blew multiple chances in the first half to put LSU in a hole. It seemed like LSU was just barely hanging on to the lead the whole game until the back breaking 93 yard flare past TD late in the 4th. Then, something happened that had not happened in Tiger Stadium for a long time...the crowd didn't wilt and revert to catastrophe syndrome. Instead, the briefly stunned crowd launched into a raucous L-S-U chant which, IMO, help fuel the responding game winning drive. Looking back, that moment is probably the turning point of the program

Kentucky: 1998. Back and forth shootout that marked the beginning of the end for Dinardo

Mizzou: 2016

South Carolina: 2012. Great environment for one of South Carolina's best teams. A reminder that LSU is still one of the SEC's elite...and South Carolina isn't.

Tennessee: 2000. 2010 is more "infamous", but 2000 was the first huge win in the Saban era. After most of the 90's and an embarrassing loss to UAB, it served as a glimmer of hope that maybe things would be different under the new coach.

Vandy: None that are memorable

Bama: 2000. The last time LSU had beaten Alabama in Tiger Stadium was just a few months after man walked on the moon. The game feature a student (maybe two) literally showing their arse to the crowd at mid-field and an instant replay review before replay was allowed. 08, 12, 14 were much better environments with much higher stakes. But it is hard to call losses your favorite game.

Auburn: 2007 potential national championship run hanging in the balance. Les giving us an early preview of his terrible clock management skills. Then a dagger in the endzone to stun Auburn and the home crowd.

Arkansas: 2011. A game that started off very worrisome but ended up capping something that had not happen in a very long time...an undefeated LSU season.

Ole Miss: 1997. Actually an awful game in the early afternoon. Was a complete buzzkill after the Florida upset the week before. Only memorable because I watched a guy throw a full drink at the Ole Miss cheerleaders from 40 rows up. He came up just short, and hit an old lady on first row who looked like one of the (TV) golden girls and knocked her right out of her seat.

MSU: 2009. Early morning start in Starkville. My friend who I was going to the game with somehow managed to get so drunk he passed out at the tailgate by 10:30 am and I had to go to the game alone. It started pouring rain at kickoff. Despite the miserable conditions it looked like LSU would breeze through with a win...until it suddenly didn't. Got to watch the goal-line stand to preserve victory from damn near field level. The normally docile MSU fans were FURIOUS!

A&M: 2019. The game itself turned out to be not all that exciting (in a good way). It was the senior nigh intros that made it memorable. A surreal moment to watch the expected Heisman Trophy winning come out one final time with a "Burreaux" jersey. Rarely have we seen one player completely captivate so many people. On that night, in that moment, you could feel the mutual love and expression of gratitude between the player and the fans. A fitting end to the greatest single season by an LSU player any of us has ever seen.
