re: weirdest/wildest LSU game you PERSONALLY attended?

I'm late to this thread and in scanning many I would have chosen were nominated.

This past Spring's SEC Tournament game vs Florida on Friday night was surreal. You could just keep seeing the fog come in lower and thicker like a cartoon. Umpires and SEC officials really didn't know what to do for about 30 minutes. About 30 LSU fans did some where Conga Line dance from home base down the first base side.

In 1982 we played a pretty good Tennessee game in Basketball at the Assembly Center.LSU was coming off the Final Four and had lost a lot of talent but seemed to have found its step and was making a surprising run for the SEC title.LSU got up 17-2 but cooled off and Tennessee went ahead with 3:00 left.

LSU went up 53-52 with :10 left.Tennessee let two seconds go off under the basket before calling time out with :08 left. UT brings it up in really no hurry and the PG looks up at the overhead scoreboard. :08 left. Clock hasn't moved. Crowd looked up when point guard did and the place went nuts. Clock finally started another second later. Tennessee finally shoots, misses and tips one in at "buzzer." They got at LEAST three seconds extra.

Crowd is going nuts (and this was when the student section was normally packed,but it was probably a good thing it was Mardi Gras weekend as it was only 70% crowded).Conference with coaches at scorers table and after about three minutes Don DeVoe (Tenn coach) points to the locker room and the Vols sprint.

No one in the crowd left including the LSU team.Finally James Wharton grabs the PA microphone and says Tennessee has left and has a plane to catch (friend of mine was the visiting team's locker room mgr or some such thing. Vols went straight to bus,no shower). Initially it was erroneously reported the last :08 would be replayed at the SEC Tournament 10 days later. But the next day the SEC said "tough",Tennessee wins.

Being a old man means I've been to many already mentioned so I'll pull one that hasn't.

1996 regional finals vs Ga tech baseball.

I lived in Memphis. Drove overnight to wait outside Alex Box for standing room only tickets. Got two. My older brother and I went.

He passed earlier this year. This was the 18 run seven inning game that iirc Warren Morris made two of the three outs in the inning (could be wrong).

Anyway, during that inning, my brother and I had moved around all game. We ended up near right field where Ga Tech had a guy named Fisher playing. He had a good rapport with the LSU crowd over there. During one of the many pitching changes in the seventh, they played the song "Shout"...make me want to shout.

My brother got the whole right field area to replace shout with fish so the whole area was chanting make me want to fish...great memory of a good time with a great brother doing what we loved, watching LSU sports.

I second that one. South end zone flagpole fell and hit my dad in the head. Thankfully no damage.

Probably the 96 LSU Houston game.

Florida at LSU OCT 1997

2004 Oregon State was about as wierd as it gets.

The LSU Arkansas baseball game a few years back with the possum. Lsu was getting their arse kicked all over the fricking plac,kramer robertson tried catching a relay throw from center with his mouth, and then arkansas forgot how to field routine plays for like 4 innings

Game 2 of the 2008 Super Regionals.

Last series ever in the old Alex Box
LSU behind in the series 0-1
Terrible missed call by the ump on the hidden ball trick
LSU down 4 runs and on their last strike of the season
Comeback to win it and force a game 3 where they destroy UCI

Alex Box was rocking that weekend and especially for game 2.

Weather was shite and so was UT

I loved that game. The Tigers played lacklustre in the first half but the weather turned really nasty at halftime and the Tigers looked so energized with the monsoon conditions and falling temps! I don't think I've ever seen such a turnaround in emotion in a game! And Tennessee couldn't adjust, even though it was their home field.

At Canes Hurricane game too! Crazy

Bama game where TJ Yeldon beat us on screen last second

9-6 in T town

Tyson Browning then Skylar Green

Beat Tulane by like 60 points in crappy weather then fight breaks out in Tiger Stadium on field

Streaker at soggy Oregon game

Honey Badger vs Oregon in Jerry World

Honey Badger tosses ball before he crosses goaline versus Ga in SECCG but the give him 6 anyway

Murray vs Mettenberger show
