- Vandy getting in over LSU on selection Sunday 2016. Jones has at least 2 more years and we don’t get Wade

- Dee Andreson and Stephen Sullivan’s first down catches against Auburn on the final drive in 2018

Yes, that would have been the hope according to Les Mile's time management plan, but still, that was cutting it pretty close.

eddie furniss' home run in the 8th inning against long beach st to tie it, lsu scored 7 runs in the 11th to win the game. lsu would beat south alabama twice on monday to win the reginal & advance to the college world series & win their 4th title.

I was not quite 7 years old for that loss to Indiana in 1987. Just reading that article was kinda painful. Had a double digit lead and couldn't hang on to reach the final four in New Orleans. Looks like Knight should've/could've easily been tossed after continuing his antics despite having already been T'd up once.

Auburn game this season. Early in 3rd quarter tied 10-10 Williams for Auburn breaks a long run from his own 25 yard and it appears he will go 75 yards for a TD. Delpit comes all the way across the field and is trailing the runner by 5 yards. Delpit puts on a sudden burst and forces the runner out and the 10 yard line. Auburn settles for a field goal on the drive. LSU wins by 3 points.
A game and possibly season saving hustle play by Delpit.

The death of Bo Rein January 1980, which started the coaching carousel and program instability, including the Hallman years in purgatory, until it was stabilized by Saban in 2000.

Sam Montgomery sack in OT on AJ McArron. Even though that ended up meaning nothing in the long run

Losing to FSU in '79. Had we won, Bowden was prepared to succeed Cholly Mac.

Hiring Archer over Spurrier after Arnsparger retired (I realize Spurrier was more unknown than when UF hired him in '90).

Tyrann getting booted.

LSU's win over A&M in 2015. That was going to be Miles' last game, and I 100% believe Jimbo was ready to make the move here.
When the administration backed off of the firing, that eliminated Jimbo and opened the door for Orgeron to become interim in 2016.

The phantom face mask call against #1 USC in 1979. LSU wins that game if not for that call. Couldn't find it anywhere on film. Also we barely lost to FL St. that year. Had we beaten them, word was that Bobby Bowden would have been LSU's next coach.

The Halloween Game with Billy Cannon. NOT the famous punt return but the 4th down tackle for loss Billy had (on Defense) to seal that game.

Coleman gives up 5 solo homers
down 6-4 in bottom of the 9th, Lemahieu his a 2 out rbi double to tie it. Also hit a solo homer in the 7th.
in the 11th, gets a leadoff walk, next two guys pop out, then Lemeieu steals 2nd and gets to 3rd on a bad throw, then Mahtook drives him home for the win. Texas was 39-0 when leading after 8 innings that season.

Coleman coming in for relief in Game 3 after starting game 1 two days earlier and striking out the side in the bottom of the 9th.
