Here’s a proposed list:
1. Billy Cannon punt return against Ole Miss
2. 2 point conversion in overtime against Bama
3. Bert Jones to Brad Davis winning pass with one second to go against Ole Miss
4. Jacob Hester 4th down heroics against Florida
5. Flynn TD pass on last play against Auburn
6. Fournette shredding Auburn defensive backs
7. Crowd chanting LSU! LSU! To put team on its back after late Georgia score on long screen pass TD
8. Orange throwing game as Tigers get revenge against Archie Manning
9. Joe “Burreaux” senior night
10. Herb Tyler and company take down number 1 Florida

Hodson to Fuller definitely belongs! Can’t believe I didn’t think of it.

1. Cannon run against Ole Miss. Most legendary.
2. 2 point conversion against Bama last year.
3. Earthquake Game
4. Jacob Hester and Florida 2007
5. Skyler Green vs UGA in 2003
6. LSU Florida 1997
7. LSU Bama 1998
8. LSU Ole Miss 2014

All I got lol. Too young to remember big older games that aren’t as famous.

Probably not considered iconic by many but one of my favs was the literal barn burner at Auburn. LSU took that one 19-15.

The whole stadium gator chomping (2019?) was pretty cool but I don't know that it cracks that list

Barn burner was iconic, but wasn’t in Death Valley. That’s why Bluegrass Miracle isn’t listed.

This was fun but should be alot further down your list.


Add in the earthquake game and the LSU / Ole Miss game in 2014.

Very strong list and agree the Earthquake pass should be on it.

Some others that were great:
LSU-ND '71 - lots of options
OBJ punt return vs OM in '12.
Marcus Quinn int vs Auburn in '80.
Jeff Dale int vs OM in '84.
LSU-FSU '82 rained oranges
Honey Badger punt return vs Arky in '11 (he's an icon to himself)
Several FG doinks by opponents (OSU in '04, Arky in '09)

HM
RJ Fracois FG block vs Bama in '08. Maybe the single loudest moment in TS history. Would be on my list had we closed the deal in OT

Another candidate I’m just realizing I didn’t list was the Brad Wing fake punt TD against Florida (even if called back for penalty). As far as I know, this is the one and only time a punter has ever been flagged for taunting!

Back when everyone stayed the whole game. That was a crazy night in the stadium. All the oranges in Baton Rouge were in that stadium. Unfortunately, we lost the following week to Tulane.

Have to put in the "Pigs Did Fly In T-TOWN" in 1993 when LSU upset Bama 17-13. Also ended a 30 game win streak.

That absolute arse kicking of Va Tech 48-7 with Keiland running wild was special. Probably the most complete game from us I’ve seen up until that curb stomp we delivered to Oklahoma in the playoffs in 2019.

2003-2007 delivered some awesome moments in Tiger Stadium minus the Monday night Tenn loss and OT loss to Arkansas.

What year was it when we beat them at home for the first time in like 25 years or something like that?
