re: Most Satisfying LSU Arse Kicking

'05 peach bowl thrashing of miami
any dismantling of mississippi, 38-9 in '95, 39-7 in '96, or 40-7 in '05.
'02 domination of Florida in the Swamp 36-7.
'04 whipping of Arkansas in LIttle Rock, 43-14.

without a doubt it was the VT game in 2007, but for me it was personal reasons...

I grew up in Hokie country, my brothers went there. In '02 I took my wife to VT for the game. It was the first football game she'd ever been to in her life and we lost. We went with my grandfather, an LSU alum and the reason I'm a Tiger fan.

2007 was a rough year for me. I'd planned on going to the game in Baton Rouge with my brothers. That changed in April when my son was diagnosed with cancer and opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. Over the summer my son improved dramatically and after a charity appearance, I learned that there was a major organization that was aware of my son's situation and I was approached about bringing him to the Tech game. That fell through when they found out he was only 2, which was fine because Tiger Stadium is no place for a sick two year old.

So all was well as we approached the football season, and then just a few days before the game my grandfather passed away. He funeral was on the morning of the game in Roanoke, just 45 minutes from the VT campus. So with his LSU car flags on the hearse, I gave a eulogy for him before a packed house of Hokie fans. That night close family and friends gathered at my brothers house to watch the game. 95% of that house was Hokie faithful, all still hurting from the shootings and some who had been on campus that day...

We all needed that win to heal.... But I'm glad I was the one who savored the victory. It was an absolute and complete demolition of the Hokies. About the only good thing for them was having Tyrod see the field so early. The Tigers helped me heal that night (and season) from what was otherwise the crappiest year of my life.

I was at the '82 game against FSU. I even pelted a guy climbing the crossbar with an orange.....and there was certainly alot of satisfaction in that, especially since FSU had won in Baton Rouge each of the 3 previous seasons. But growing up in SOUTH Florida and having to endure hearing about how The U went into Tiger Stadium in '88 and put a 44-3 whipping on my Tigers,.....NOTHING was as SATISFYING as that 40-3 Peach Bowl beat down!

1997 LSU 27 Bama 0

VTech in 2007.

In 2002 LSU got creamed at Lane Stadium 26-8. VTech had scheduled a game the week before LSU and it was aggravating considering LSU was going into that 2002 matchup thinking that was going to be each team's first game. In 2004 VTech backed out against LSU and played USC instead. We waited forever to get our shot at VTech.

Flawless performance.

In the CLM era, Miami (including the post-game fight), V Tech, because it was the most dominating game I've ever seen the Tigers play, and G Tech, because their coach learned that night how to NOT complain about the quality of their opponent.

Back in the day, LSU vs. pre-SEC USCe in the Gator Bowl. Literally seconds after the announcers were going gaga over USCe's 'black death' defense, Hodson and Davis lit up their arse for a long completion with the Tiger's getting a TD soon after. We ended up ranked 5th that year, and damn if I don't think we could have beat almost anyone at the end of the year.

Also, early 80s, Bama, 20-10 that did not reflect how much we dominated. I don't remember many final scores, but that one is burnt into my brain.
