re: Top Ten Greatest Games in Tiger Stadium Since 1970

quote:

---

1) 1979 vs USC - My first game as an LSU student. Lost to #1 USC in final seconds. We stood and stomped the metal bleachers the entire game.
2) 1972 vs Ole Miss - Bert Jones to Brad Davis for TD to win. Can still see the referee hesitate before raising his arms signaling TD after Davis kicked the pylon.
3) 1970 vs Ole Miss - Dropped Archie Manning for a safety and childhood hero Casanova scored two punt return TD's
4) 1997 vs Florida - Beat #1 Florida and the much hated Darth Visor.
5) 2007 vs Florida - The 4th down game.Incredibly intense game.
6) 1988 vs Auburn - The Earthquake Game - LSU had zero offense the entire game until the final drive to win it.
6) 2003 vs Georgia - Long TD pass to Skyler Green in final minute wins the game.
7) 2007 vs Auburn - TD Pass from Flynn to Byrd with one second left wins the game.
8) 1982 vs Florida St. Needed a win to go to the Orange Bowl. Hilliard and James ran wild. Fans pelted field with oranges as an eerie fog rolled into the stadium at games end.
10) 2000 vs Tennessee - Won in overtime on a gutsy pass call to the endzone on first down from the 25 yardline. Saban's first signature victory.

That's pretty odd, OP. My list would be almost exactly the same, with the exception of number 10 for me. That's because I don't remember seeing it, but I am sure it was a good one.

Another good one was the second game I ever saw in Tiger Stadium, 1976 against Nebraska. Ended up a 6-6 tie. We weren't supposed to be able to stay on the field with them.

The 1971 Notre Dame game should be on the list.

It was in 1971 and I totally agree.

Andy Hamilton also embarrassingly faked ND All-American DB Clarence Ellis out of his jock strap in the SEZ for the final TD - thing of beauty.....

Funny how that play happened with less than a minute to play and LSU had the game out of reach. No whining from the announcer, Chris Schenkel on ABC, about running up the score....different times.
