re: What was the best 4-5 yr period to go to LSU?

I have one going, likely to LSU, in the fall. It's our youngest daughter, but it just makes the most sense for her to go to LSU given the state financial incentives. Hope she has a blast.

Late 80’s was the best time to be at LSU. Football, basketball and baseball all kicked arse. And the parties in Tigerland were epic. As much out side as inside because there was no open container laws yet and everyone went out. There was no internet.

2003-2008

2 national titles in football
2 SEC titles
3 SEC West titles

Basketball final four

WBB final four


I guess that was a pretty down time for baseball but they already had won a few championships.

I count my blessings daily, and one of my huge ones is being an undergrad from Fall 1994 through Spring 1998. I hardly ever missed attending a baseball game, and I watched Skip’s show every Sunday night. I’m also thankful I went back and worked part time on my masters degree during Saban’s tenure. I attended every one of his coach’s shows. Those were some of the greatest times of my 49 and 1/2 years.

Idk but I got a lot of pussy from 08 to 13

02-07 is hard to beat. I will say this for the rest of my life but the '03 National Championship is by far the biggest and most impactful thing to happen in LSU Sports that no other Championship can compete with. We had not experienced a Championship of that caliber since '58 and to do so in the State of Louisiana was historic. I have not seen a celebration even come close to that one.

I understand baseball had gone downhill but when Football finally broke through it just meant more. '11 and '19 were excellent football seasons and '19 mended a lot of wounds with the fans but '03 was different. Being a season ticket holder since graduating college and there was never that energy that '03 brought. And anyone who was in the stands during '03 like I was and after would tell you the energy was just different.

I was fall 09 through spring 14. Just missed out on baseball title but got 2013 Omaha trip. Football was very good and 2011 kicked arse except for 01/09/2011. Basketball was pretty bad.
Shockingly not a super great time period.

My sister had a great one. Fall 97 through winter 2001. 2 baseball titles, 2000 basketball season and the early rise of the Saban era. My dad brought her to the 2002 sugar bowl as a part of her graduation present.

Yes, this was my time at LSU. The Bengal was our favorite bar.
