LSU @ Bama in 1982 - best game ever! Bama didn't score a first down the entire first half. Bear Bryant retired at the end of the season and died several months later.
LSU vs Notre Dame 1971 - sweet revenge game
LSU vs Ole Miss 1972 - the 4 second game
LSU vs Fla State 1982 - the *Orange Bowl* game with the oranges flying everywhere on the field
LSU vs UCF in the Fiesta Bowl 2018 - Joe's coming out party when we all realized just how special he was!

My top 5 LSU games seen in person are:

1. LSU vs. Clemson 2019 NC win
2. LSU vs. Ohio State 2007 NC win
3. LSU vs. UF 1997 win
4. LSU vs. UF 2007 win
5. LSU vs. Oregon 2011 win

Honorable mention for me because it was a loss was the LSU USC Trojan game in 1979. We had the #1 team in the nation beat until a 3rd down face mask penalty late in the 4th quarter was called against Benjy Thibodeaux. I played high school football against Benjy; he played Def Line for Notre Dame (Crowley) and I played for Jennings. He was an amazing defensive lineman and a one man wrecking show.

1. USC - 1979
2. Auburn (Earthquake Game) - 1988
3. Florida State - 1982
4. OU - 2004 Sugar Bowl National Championship
5. Ohio State - 2008 BCS National Championship

In no particular order except that the USC game is the greatest sporting event I’ve ever witnessed…and we lost, so that tells you something about the energy in Tiger Stadium that night!

Washington was 83. It was crazy in the student section. The steps were packed with students. LSU 42-14. That would have been one of my top 5.

Other than the NC games in New Orleans it would have been LSU/Fla ST in 82(oranges everywhere on the field). Then LSU/Ga 2003. LSU/Fla 2007. Earthquake game in 88 - Auburn.

Had to do a top 10 because I couldn't narrow it down to five.


In chronological order:

2003 vs. Georgia
2004 vs. Oklahoma
2007 vs. Florida
2007 vs. Auburn
2011 vs. Oregon
2011 at Alabama
2012 vs. Alabama (even though we lost, Death Valley was rocking and the atmosphere was insane)
2019 at Texas
2019 vs. Florida
2020 vs. Clemson

Honorable mention:
2014 vs. Ole Miss. Ole Miss was ranked #3 and we were huge underdogs. Our Tigers showed a lot of heart and won a gritty game 10-7. The stadium was consistently loud for the entire game and it was a great comeback win.

1. Georgia 2003 … will never be topped.
2. Florida 2007
3. Auburn 2007
4. Alabama 2010
5. Florida 2019

Honorable mention: Ole Miss 2014

I’ve been to every national championship game in person and many road game/neutral site/ bowl games, but nothing tops a close big game in a packed Tiger stadium. Nothing.
