Auburn 2001, the band picking a fight with the Auburn players and seeing the tuba player hit the holder in the helmet with his tuba was classic.

1956 - Lost to Ole Miss 26-29 in typical LSU Ole Miss game back then and many years afterwards.

Late 80's. I was still pretty young, so don't remember the year, but Thug U was in town and it rained the whole game. we sat in the upper deck. I believe it was the first or second year it was open.

I am pretty sure it was the GA Tech game in 1957.
Attended every game in '58 and almost all games since. Coached football in the seventies and had to miss some games.

First LSU game i attended was the 1997 Independence Bowl vs. Notre Dame. My second and first time being in Tiger Stadium was in 2000 vs. Tennessee. I need to go to another game.

18-13 loss to Texas A&M in 1994.
I was so dazzled by Tiger Stadium and the tailgating experience that I barely noticed the score.
Little did I know that LSU was at the very nadir of its football fortunes. I didn't realize both Death Valley and campus were mere shadows of what they could be in better times.
I was still impressed.
Despite the fact that LSU went 4-7 during my freshman year (or perhaps because of it), I learned to cherish the Tigers that season. It was a love born of mutual suffering and a stubborn hope that things would inevitably improve. I was on the field when we lost to Southern Miss. I'll never forget the downtrodden, defeated faces of the players as they filed past me into the locker room after a last second field goal attempt went awry. Their jerseys stained, their heads hung low, the stadium a sodden masoleum, this naive freshman cheered them all until their golden helmets disappeared into the darkness of the chute.

My first LSU game was the 1995 Independence Bowl against Michigan St.
First home game was against North Texas or Idaho in '96 I think, can't really remember the team or the year

UT 1992 that was my second game ever...was in the student section and the person behind me was splattering chewing tobacco on me.
the ex-wife decided at halftime we should go to the movies...when we got out of the theatre and got in the car to turn the radio on, jim hawthorne was counting down the final seconds of the game, and both teams only combined for 3 points in the second half. (LSU got shutout in the game 20-0.)
I thought to myself, I have just missed the most boring half of football in LSU history.

I presume this is the reason you divorced her!

One of my 1st memories is the Earthquake game against AU & some of the TX A&M games. I was around 6 yrs old.
I'm sure I made some before then, but thats the one I remeber most.

LSU vs UNC, '86. Watched the Mets vs Boston world series game on the bus ride back to S'port. The Buckner game. Used to be a charter from S'port to BR for home games by Hunter Huff.

UF in 1979. I think we won something like 20-0. I also went to the FSU game a couple weeks later amid all the speculation that Bobby Bowden would replace Mac. I think if we had beaten FSU that day that Bowden would have taken the LSU job. I remember his comments about how winning that game emboldened him to stay at FSU and continue to build a program there.

Tulane, 1957. Won 25-6 I think. Taylor and Cannon ran roughshod over the 'Wave, who were in the SEC at the time.

early 80's...that ridiculous tulane game where they already had the Orange Bowl invite and got beat by greenies in the rain. I remember going to Wendy's after the game and my Dad's buddy ordered a scotch and water.....pretty sure it was the same day as that Stanford-Cal kickoff return

Yes and Alexander the Great ravaged the Cowboys for well over 200 yards rushing as I recall. Kind of made up for the miserable weather. Gajan had a good game also.

FSU, 1989. We lost, but the next week was great because we beat the snot out of OHIO U.
