I'm limiting it to ones that I actually attended, seeing as there are simply too many to pick from otherwise.
1--LSU/USC 1979--this game is well documented on the Rant--#1 USC, Heisman winner Charles White, the "phantom face mask" on 4th down that kept the drive alive in the fourth quarter that beat LSU 17-12. I was a freshman at LSU and a fan, but until that moment, never really knew what college football passion truly was. The crowd stood for much of the game, the noise level was as loud and constant as any game up until the Georgia game 24 years later. I think for an entire game it was louder than the Earthquake game, or maybe just because it was my first "great" LSU game. I think every LSU fan has had some moment like this--an "awakening" if you will.
2-LSU/Oklahoma Jan. 2004 for the National Championship--I was at the 2007/8 game too, but there's nothing like the first time. That fourth quarter was WAY too tense considering how much LSU dominated this game. When that punt rolled out of bounds as the clock ticked down, and I was yelling, "how could those idiots not have a man back to return it?"
, a feeling came over me that was similar to when my son was born...an exhilirating rush of how great life could be...
3-Georgia/LSU 2003--everyone touting how GA was the better team, the long GA TD immediately followed by the crowd chanting, "LSU! LSU! LSU!", the ad-libbed Mauck pass to Skyler Green (over the shoulder catch no less)in the corner of the endzone. Simply amazing game.
So many other great memories, so many I couldn't attend (mostly CWS games). As someone said above--it's great to be a tiger fan!

Yep, got to be those that I actually attended. They'll all end up being football but the Shaq Tigers vs. both UNLV and Loyola-Marymount come pretty damn close
No particular order.....
1983 - LSU vs FSU in the Orange Bowl decider. The hail of oranges and rented seat cushions was good entertainment in the appropriate state of mind.
1988 - Earthquake game. My office was down the hall from the seismograph in the Geology Bldg.and my roommate won enough on the game to pay his rent.
2001 - LSU vs. Tenn. in the SEC Championship. Knocked Tennessee out of the Title Game and began the legend of Matt Mauck.

2007 LSU-Florida
2007 LSU-Alabama (Chad Jones's sack; I had a bet with relatives on the outcome)
2004 Sugar Bowl (going crazy as the clock ran out)
TONS of close ones in there too. Too young to remember Warren Morris as it happened, but if I would've been, it definitely would've made the list
ETA: No particular order.

I'll limit it to games I attended:
1) 2003 LSU vs. UGA. The Mauck to Green video still brings tears to my eyes. The day that this program finally resumed its place as a national powerhouse.
2) 2007 LSU vs. UF. The greatest game I've ever seen in person. Tebow killing us for 3 quarters. The comeback. The PA announcement of Stanford over USC. Nuff said.
3) 2003 LSU vs. Ark. As we pulled away, the realization that we were the best team in the country, even if we got shut out of the BCS.

1. 1982 LSU vs Florida State. Oranges rained down in the end zone by the THOUSANDS after every score. And don't forget about the fog... it was so thick around the 3rd quarter you couldn't see across the stadium.
2. Earthquake game. We just completed a 4th and 9 for a new set of downs. 1st and 10, caught in the endzone but out of bounds. 2nd and 3rd downs, incomplete. Everyone held their breath on 4th down, the 4th pass attempt for a TD in the end zone. When we scored, everyone went NUTS!
3. 2003 National Championship. I wasn't able to get a ticket but watched it from inside Poydras Plaza on a big screen just outside the Hyatt.

2001 Sugar Bowl when saban had to get on a mic in the middle of the game in the second half and tell the student section to quite throwing cups and things up in the air after everytime we scored or the refs were going to call a unsportsman like flag on the fans. Did that stop us? Nope!

I'll name three that I was at:

2) 2007 LSU-Florida Game (Tebow is he best College player I have seen)
3) LSU - Loyola Marymount OT Basketball game (was meaningless, but best 3 hours of Basketball I've been to).
