LSU - UF 2007 when Borne announces that USC had lost their game. I took a few seconds during that moment and just looked around in amazement.... it was truly surreal.

That was miserable.

I was in Tiger Band, so I got to sit in the stands for the entire game in a soaking wet uniform. Had the nastiest case of crotch rot and jungle foot for a week after.

Watching the Saints play in Tiger Stadium/being able to purchase and consume beer openly in Tiger Stadium.

UF, Auburn, USC 2007

And have to include my first time on the field for pregame - Oregon State in 2004 when the sky opened up

That was surreal. I was thinking at the time that it was like watching the death plague from The Ten Commandments.

Oranges raining down from the West upper deck (there was no East upper at that time) which was totally obscured in Fog. LSU had just beaten the crap out of Florida St. for a berth in the Orange Bowl.

Mystical moment for sure.

1. '97 vs. Florida - Cedric Donaldson holding the ball over his head after INT on his way to the endzone - also Fla QB Doug "What'shisname" getting up time and time again with grass in his face mask
(add to this the scene in the student section every time LSU scored. It was like a mosh pit. I was getting pushed 4 or 5 rows down from where I was sitting, there were cups and coke and whiskey bottles flying all over the place, it was awesome!)
2. The rain storm when Florida State came to town .. we were sitting at the top of the stadium in section U9 and you literally couldn't see the field.
3. The fight after the Tulane game, this again was RIGHT in front of us in the south endzone ... that shite was CRAZY!

This is my #1. I actually thought the crowd was going to pour onto the field.

In general, yes.

Personally, LSU-Tulame, year of the big fight in South Endzone. I was seated ground level in a box. As is my want, I had dyed hundreds of hot dogs green to taunt the Weenie fans; still had a bunch with me.

LSU is driving (end of 4th Q), Tulame huddles in south endzone. I'm pegging the huddle with Green Weenies, some nice shots bounce off their helmets .. then all Hell breaks loose, the fight comes right into my box. Yeah, it was scary. Refs called game, broken and smeared green weenies throughout the endzone.

I know, csb.

i was in the stands the whole game. had to stay because we were hosting out of town die hard tigers and they got drunk and said screw it, let's stay, the streets are flooding anyway.

we were in the south end zone (although we could have moved just about anywhere we wanted too) and you could barely make out the teams if they were on the other side of the field.

I can't remember the exact year of that Tulane game, but I was pretty young ... however, I remember telling my dad that there was going to end up being a fight because of all the pushing and shoving after every play ... once the fight broke out though, both benches poured onto the field and players were swinging their helmets at each other and coaches were fighting players ... it was insane ... it was actually worse than most of the fights I used to see back in Tigerland in the 90's when Snorkle's, Sports and The Tiger were notorious for really nasty fights

Jacob Hester punching it into the endzone on 4th down against UF in 2007.

2000 Bama game: we were loosing and two guys run to mid field turn and moon the Bama team near south endzone. The momentum shifted and we won to break the 30 year loosing streak in TS to Bama!

that was hysterical ... i would have to say that the streaker during the delay of the Oregon State game was the best "fan-on-field" incident that i have seen at tiger stadium ... especially since the security guards couldn't tackle him ... it was awesome!

Florida 1997, looking at the scoreboard at that point when you knew the game was all but over and that we were mere minutes from sealing the win.
