I don't know about "most chaotic" for me, I get up and get so loud sometimes that I have no idea what the rest of the stadium is doing.

"Quietest" moment though, is burned in my brain. The walk out after the loss to Bama in '12 was deathly quiet. Seemed like the stadium was 90% full when the 4th quarter ended and droves of quiet, upset, sick fans filed out. Even the Bama fans were quiet on the walk out.

Every game that Miles had clock management was a chaotic moment in Tiger Stadium!

Every gold helmet looks confused in that pic. I remember thinking only Les' s clock management could be so fricked we weaponized it as a game strategy

I was at that Bama game. It was right in front of me. My dad literally close to tears kept saying “ we can’t beat these guys” also there for the 1998 meltdown.

Mentioned this earlier today, but last season Ole Miss ran two plays in 4 seconds, something that they insisted since October 1972 could not be done. Nevertheless Ole Miss did it in 2017.

Honorable mention goes to an Alabama game where there was a fumble recovery, flags, and various confusion. After conferring, the refs spotted the ball and signaled it was Alabama ball when clearly LSU had possession. Fans came unglued.

They finally straightened it out. I remember saying that they better figure it out quickly because someone was going to go on the field and literally kill a referee.

During the long delay with them trying to figure it out whose ball it was is when those two LSU students wearing hard hats with pom poms coming out of them ran onto the field from the student section all the way toward the North end zone (before security even realized anything) and mooned the Bama players. That was the freaking best. The crowd went nuts and LSU woke up and brought home the W. Saban even thanked "the streakers" as he called them on his radio show and said they woke up the crowd and the team.

The late 90s to early 2000s in Tiger Stadium was classic.

I had forgotten about that massive Miles frick Up among so many. Always liked the guy but he seemed to shite the rack on the reg and somehow win or do enough to look passable.

Ditto, LSUOhiofan.

Anytime LSU was finishing a half in the two minute drill under head coach Les Miles.

Anyone remember seeing a huge TN fan being thrown down the stands in the SEZ? Dude took out every seat back on the way, and took out the legs of every fan below him. Wonder what the hell happened?

I don't care whether you are a Miles Lover or not, but that was INEXCUSABLE AS jim Hawthorne called it and especially on the heels of the Ole Miss debacle and the Clock it fiasco that happened at Oxford just one year prior. If Lsu loses that game to Tenny I really believe Miles would have been let go soon after that. JMO of course.

Hands down was the 1984 Tulane fight. It started right after Ronnie "Give'em the Finger" Lewis kicked an extra point at the end of the game. Who or what started may be a point of argument BUT Shawn Burks torpedoing 2 Tulane players was a classic!
I was there and it was great watching Tulane lose the game and the fight!
If I remember right one Tulane player was running around with his helmet off and got jacked!

This really cannot be overstated. Quite literally, LSU fielded a punt at their own 10 yard line...and the ref was just going to give Bama (the punting team!) the ball at the 10. It was through the looking glass.


And yet fans still think everything is still on the up and up, especially after all the frickery we have witnessed since.

Not to mention the fact that instant replay was later used against us with that team.

Most surreal was third quarter announcement in 1998 game with Idaho that the National Guard and State Police were not letting traffic go to new orleans because they were starting contra flow for georges

I will nominate 1989 UF vs LSU and the refs putting a second back on the clock (time was out!)for the Gator kicker to attempt his personal record......he made it.

16-13 UF and our season went in a bad direction.

There's a certain referee who did this and I have personally given him shite for it to his face.

There was a YouTube video of a young Tennessee fan watching that game that went viral that was absolutely epic but I believe has since been taken down. He was so excited they won only to realize they lost.
