1987 13-13??? tie against Ohio State merits some discussion. also the ole miss loss later that year was a great game too but over the last 25 years GA 2003 was is no doubt what i would vote #1.

Florida 97 or UGA 03. All others pale in comparison.
EDIT: LOL. I thought he wrote GAME DAY (as in ESPN GAME DAY), not DAY GAME. Damn my reading comprehension. UF 1997 was obviously a night game, but Gameday was in attendance.
As for day games, I'll still go with UGA 03.

I'm with supadave: Oct, 1997 We shock the shite out of No. 1 FLORIDA 28 to 21. From kickoff till the last second ticked off, the crowd never stopped a constant roar. Herb Tyler ran for 2 TDs early in the game. After a comeback from commercial, they show the score 14-0 & the TV announcers say "that is NOT an error folks on your screen". Oh, and the visor got thrown alot. I still get goosebumps 
It started at 6:07 which was still daylight but I know how some of you are about shite.

Why did games start at 6:00 back in '97? And what happened to 8:00 games?

Was the ESPN slot; 8PM was back the 60's.

Hands down the most drunk I was for a day game was App St, so that gets my vote.
10 am start in August. Probably one of the most miserable TS experiences in my life. Me and my roommates went out the night before, then went straight to the tailgate after the bars closed.
People were dropping like flies in the North endzone.

this highlight video i made of LSU vs Ohio St '87 demonstrates how loud a day game can be
Was at this, was most frustrating ending for TS game day or night! Had them on the ropes then TH throws worst pass imaginable that is picked off. I believe they drove down and missed a field goal? But ended 13-13; the next week was almost another 13-13 with tie with UF but Galen Hall goes for the tie at end and misses!
Hands down 03 UGA, was spent after this game like we all were playing in it!

I'd have to give an honorable mention to Arkansas in '11

Skonked OM that year in Oxford; thinking maybe 86, was a miserable game should not have lost though squandered so many opportunities and think RL missed a FG at the end?

hard to beat the UF/LSU 07 game imo.
Posted on 7/18/13 at 2:32 pm to jhhingle
yep, 86 ole miss. until the 28-21 victory over FL, the best LSU football games I saw in person were either LSU losses or ties.

Georgia '03.
Just before the rematch in the SECCG, Mark May predicted a Ga win, & called the LSU win in TS a "fluke". The Atlanta arse-whoopin of Ga made him a believer.
Also, with Ga leading & things looking dim, at 5:00 pm, the announcer directed the fans' attention to the Pershing Rifles retiring the colors for the evening, and announced: "IT IS NOW SATURDAY NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY!"

LSU-Tulane, 1938:

the 1938 game ended in a bloody fight that started on the playing field and spilled out into the sugar cane fields then surrounding Tiger Stadium,

The 1938 riot, in which the numerous participants beat each other wth frozen cane stalks, ended the game prematurely and only ended with sundown.

Never knew this bit of history. Hopefully Tulane gets their act together soon so there can be a real rivalry again.

UGA 2003

Incidentally, LSU was ranked 11th the last time then-No. 7 Georgia came to Baton Rouge. The Tiger's held a 10-3 lead late in the fourth quarter, but Georgia's Tyson Browning tied the game with a 93-yard touchdown on a screen pass.
"I was expecting a hush from the crowd," Georgia coach Mark Richt recalled. "Usually, when the opposing team does well, the crowd quiets down. All I began to hear was a chant: L-S-U! L-S-U! It got louder and louder and louder. It was the loudest I've ever heard a stadium."
One reason it kept getting louder has to do with what happened next.
With 1:22 remaining, Matt Mauck unleashed a 34-yard pass under heavy pressure and Skyler Green hauled it in for the winning touchdown. The victory turned out to be a crucial one in the Tigers' run to their first BCS national championship.

1979, 17-12 loss to the USC Trojans. Greatest day game back in that decade.
