On a related note, I have video immediately after the SEC Championship game from December where we got our first significant snow of that mission. We had stayed up all night to watch the game.

Not sure anything will top the lead up anticipation to that game. The first 10 minutes of the game especially after JV broke that run I will never forget.

It was pure euphoria that night! One of the last memories of a night when people were locked into the game and each other not social media.

I was there. Remember my wife at the time (we were in our early 20s) waking up after the Georgia game saying “we got 2000 saved up buy tickets”! We bought 4. Young tiger fans may not know but the feeling then was “once in a life time,” who knew we’d win 2 more in Nola.

I was there way up in the terrace. It was hot as the AC wasn’t working correctly. We had a priest sitting behind us and when it got a little tight in the 4th qtr he did a victory prayer. It worked. Grown men were crying. I got a little misty eyed myself.

i was watching LSU do something I never thought I would see in my lifetime...if you went through the 90's you probably would have thought the same.

Randomly ate lunch with Scott van pelt at mothers, he was in line behind us and solo… he was new at his career on sportscenter, I recognized him and we got to talking, so he joined us at the table for lunch.

Then tailgated with that big Krewe on poydras, where you paid money for beers. Can’t think of their name now but they were big.

Then witnessed glory in the Dome! Have been to every NC game since then too

Boss had tickets and the night before, his wife laid down the hammer she wasn’t going (Neither of them originally from south LA or went to LSU). and I was the one he called and gave me two tickets…at about 9 the night before! Incredible game and day!

Best memory from the game. #RIP94

"He's Mr. Heisman and we wanted to go at him all night. That's a big award and if you win it, you're going to pay for it," Hill said. "I said to him, 'Excuse me, Mr. Heisman. I'm going to be coming at you all night.' He just nodded his head at me."

I’ll never forget the first offensive play when I handed the ball off to Justin Vincent and he almost housed it.

I didn’t attend the game. Decided to host a client/employee event in a banquet room off the lobby of one of the swank hotels. We had big TVs, food and booze. The icing on the cake was that in the hotel lobby was a group of entitled Oklahoma fans watching the game there because they didn’t get tickets. Oh man, did we have fun at their expense.

I had celebrated LSU's last championship back on 1/1/59. I was old already in 2004 and really thought I would never see another LSU football championship by that time. I've actually had the euphoria of seeing 3 more!

I was in the dome bc I had just gotten season tickets and put in for the lottery and to my surprise I won the right to buy two tickets at face value. I watched it with my then girlfriend and now wife l, and I cried after we won the game. It was euphoric and special and I haven’t cried again for an LSU game ever. It was pretty special and something I never thought I’d see to be honest.

I was with a group of friends from Long Beach Mississippi and we hung out in the quarter had dinner at Mr. John’s Steakhouse, and had as much fun as I have ever had in New Orleans watch LSU beat Oklahoma on TV. What a great memory!

I was 19 years old and in attendance.
I can remember drunkenly yelling "Sooner you leave...the better"!
I got my ticket through a relative and I remember feeling so guilty about my dad not having a ticket. He has never missed a home game, die hard fan. One of the best times of my life. Of course my mom was worried about terrorist blowing up the dome. Now I feel old. Never thought I'd see 3 natty's(should be 4, f**k 2011) and 2 Heisman's.
