Remember the debacle that was 6 turn overs the previous week vs. UAB? Then there was this!

Tennessee @ LSU 2000

The term "resurgence" can fit many games, but LSU wasnt a big boy again until UGA 2003

I will give you UGA putting us back at the top. My point was just the beginning of the resurgence.

When Rohan scrambled for the first down on the first drive of the game, you could tell the crowd was is in it and we had a shot. Unbelievable game.

I'd agree with this. Still my awesomest Tiger Stadium experience.

And that includes UF and Jacob Hester.

My brother was on the front page of the Advocate the next day (not Sports, the front) straddling a goal post. It was zoomed in on him and was clear who it was.

My dad framed it for him with his ticket and the grass from the field.

Was at that game in middle school. Rushed the field with my dad. One of the greatest memories of my life.

I loved those games back then. Every weekend was so much fun and I didn't care if we won or lost. But when we won like this, it was the best feeling in the world.

Seeing some of those names like Corbello and Royal really brought back some memories!!

ETA: I worked the concession stand at the 2003 UGA game. I got to watch the 4th quarter from right next to the student section. That was a blast!
