That looks like six - just round down.

Most fun was 2001 Bama Rohan to Reed. Went with my dad and we stayed at the hounds tooth until midnight having Bama Baws buy us beer and tell us they would never have a coach like Saban...lol.

Close second is 2019 NC game. Went with my 12 yr old son and will be something he remembers forever.

2011 Oregon- Again went with my Dad and we drank our section out of beer. Oregon fans scattered like cockroaches after the game.

1. LSU vs UF 07
2. LSU vs bama 2000? Replay game
3. LSU vs Auburn 2001 SEC west and got to go on field
4. LSU @ Bama OT win with Jamarcus throw
5. LSU vs Vtech 07 was electric

Honorable mention loss - LSU vs UF 09

LSU vs. Ark in 2007 was an unfortunate loss, but an exciting game.

1979 LSU USC has to be #1. By far the loudest and most sustained crowd noise of any game I've been to. Crowd was standing up from opening kickoff to end of game. We had #1 USC beat until refs called a phantom personal foul against LSU (Bengy Thibideaux I believe) on a 4th down pass incompletion by USC that would have ended the game with LZU winning 12-10. I've been to a lot of games since but nothing like that one.

1. 2019 Texas A&M
2. 2012 South Carolina
3. 2012 Bama
4. 2010 Bama
5. 2011 Arkansas

I'm gonna make a case for Texas A&M 2019. I know this was 50-7 blowout without the drama of 03 UGA or 07 UF:

1. Fans showed up early inside the stadium to witness senior night.
2. Burreaux jersey surprise
3. Revenge for the 7OT debacle
4. Fans stayed for a blowout
5. There was no frustration or any groans/gripe with how LSU performed. Positive vibes all around.
6. This was the start of the 2019 D getting back on track to dominating.
7. 12-0 regular season finish

I loved the atmosphere of this game so damn much. While it was not exciting like what I witnessed for 2012 Bama or 2012 SC, it was pleasant and just a love fest for that team. Also it's the last time the stadium has been full so I guess the nostalgia for an electic saturday night influences my pick.
