After the 2003 SEC Championship game, (shocked that K State upset OU) when all of our fans began chanting "LSU, USC, OKLAHOMA NUMBER THREE!" I can still hear it.

Sorry. This was the very first LSU event I ever witnessed after my Dad died. I believe to this day that he had something to do with that ball carrying over the right field fence. I was so emotional over the game, and then moreso as soon as it set in that I could not call him and talk about it. I just sat alone at home looking up to the sky and saying repeatedly...."We did it, Dad. We did it!..I Love you!"

I have to totally agree on this one. That friday night my best friend and I walked around the stadium and came across the plaque that had the national championship from back in the day and i said to him - we will win tomorrow and we will win it all - and that was the best game ever

Most emotional positive moment: Tie between 1972 vs Ole Miss. Jones to Davis with one second left and the PAT after for the 17-16 win and 1974 first game in TGBFTL marching to the stadium, down the hill and Pre-Game.
Honorable Mentions: 1982 20-10 win vs Bama in B'Ham finally beating the Bear. 1982 55-21 win vs Fla.State in the Fog and Orange Rain for the Orange Bowl invitation. 1997 28-21 win vs # 1 Florida. 2000 30-28 win vs Bama ending their LONG win streak in TS. 78/79(?) OT win vs Kentucky in the Assembly Center where all five of LSU's starters had fouled out.
Most emotional negative moment: 1982 31-28 loss to Tulane. Last game in TGBFTL.
Most emotional both positive AND negative full game from start to finish: 1979 17-12 loss to USC.........

Great stories everyone!
That entire string of victories in spring 06 that LSU made was magical beginning with that Mitchell buzzerbeater. Even I was getting into the basketball games.

1997 Florida. Cried like a little girl with the guy I have been sitting in front of for 30 years.

Justin Vincent breaking that 60 yard run against OU at the beginning of the game was way up there.

Most "personally" emotional LSU moment for me happened at the end of the Ole Miss 2008 game.
My son was diagnosed with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy at age 2 and lost the ability to walk in 07. I have taken him to the final LSU home game of the season for the past 6 years.
That year I wanted to do something special for him. I emailed Verge Ausberry Jr., my wife used to teach for his father in New Iberia. He agreed to give him a private tour of the football operations center. Additionally a family friend told Randall Gay about my son and he personally got the entire LSU football team to autograph a football for my son.
So I surprised him with the football and then we got an awesome tour of the operations center. The equipment guys hooked us up with pull overs and sweats. The video guy gave us DVDs of the 07 season, it was all pretty overwhelming. Everywhere we went people treated us like VIPs it was pretty special. We saw the locker rooms, meeting rooms, weight room, and watched the band on the indoor practice field.
Well after all that, we spent the rest of the day enjoying a pretty awesome tailgate. We then watched the band come down the hilland went in TS early and watched the team warm up from field level seats in the NEZ (the handicapped section.)
Then Ole Miss proceeded to destroy LSU. It was a terrible game.
Well me and about 92,000 other fans are walking out all pissed about the loss. My son grabbed me by the hand, gave it a little squeeze and looked me in eye and said "Dad, thanks for the greatest day of my life."
Yeah that is pretty much my most emotional LSU moment...Ole Miss 2008, crazy, huh?
you win!

Honestly, it was an LSU basketball game in 95 (I think), Dales next to last year. UK just KILLED us all night long and there wasn't much of a crowd left. As an out of state student I liked LSU sports as a student but it wasn't in my blood yet.
Near the end of the game the entire crowd with LSU down by like 40 points started to chant LSU, LSU, LSU, LSU, LSU...
The UK team and fans just looked at us. After the game Dale Brown got on the mike and thanked the crowed.
During the LSU chant...it just hit me. THIS IS LSU
Also, the two NC were sweet and the bring back the magic game were sweet!

Great personal story, it has been said that baseball is the past time I disagree college football (especially LSU)is the new past time IMHO. Kudos for you and your son

Football: The Bluegrass Miracle. My wife and I were at the game and I told her, after UK scored to go ahead, that we would stay to the end. It ain't over 'til it's over.
Basketball: The LSU-Kentucky game in February 1982. Final score LSU 94, UK 78. We had gone to a wedding in Kentucky that day and all the UK fans there were crowing about how UK was ahead by 10 points in the first four minutes of the game. We left right after the wedding, skipped the reception, got in the car, turned on the radio to hear Caywood Ledford (UK's version of Jim Hawthorne) saying something to the effect of, "Coach Hall and his Wildcats have a look on their faces that says, 'When will this nightmare ever end?' ." I still have that game on tape somewhere.
Baseball: Too many really great games in the old Box to pick one out.
(Can y'all tell that I really, really don't like Kentucky?)

That was definitely in 1978. That was UK's only SEC loss that year. I walked into my 4th grade classroom in a small town in eastern Kentucky (Ashland) the next day wearing my favorite LSU shirt. The school librarian, Mrs. Miller, taped notebook paper over the "LSU" letters on my shirt and wouldn't let me take the tape off my shirt until our half-hour library period was over. Ever since that day, she and I have had a perpetual bet of a gallon of ice cream for every single LSU-Kentucky match up in football or basketball.
By the way, 'Bamaland, your story wins hands down. My brother-in-law suffers from MD as well. He's still able to get up out of his wheelchair, but I sure do sense his frustration at the whole thing. Sounds like you run a pretty good family there.
Blue sky??? No! PURPLE REIGN!!!
