What's Your Favorite Game Against Mississippi State?

2000 was great. 2010 was fun also when half the defense including Drake Nevis picked off a pass. I think we had like 5 or 6 picks that game.

The only one that sticks out for me is the one I don't want to remember. Dak was kicking our arse so bad I walked out of Tiger Stadium in the 3rd quarter shaking my head in disbelief.

Jerrious Norwood can still feel that hit.

I don't know if I have a favorite. But my most memorable was 2009. I made the trip up to Starkville to go to the game with my former roommate who lived there and went to MSU. The kick was at 11:20 am and we got there to tailgate at around 8:00 am. By 10:30 my buddy was so hammered drunk he passed out at the tailgate. TWO HOURS!!! So I ended up having to go to the game by myself because that idiot couldn't wake up and everyone else at the tailgate already had a ticket.

It had poured that morning at the tailgate then again at the beginning of the game. Just miserable. The only good thing is that because the rain chased so many people away it was almost like general admission in the LSU section, so I was able to find another LSU fan to chat with during the game.

After the Jones punt return I thought LSU was finally going to put State away. Wrong! The rest of the quarter was like a slow death with MSU coming back. A loss felt inevitable as MSU got to the LSU goal line. That is, until the great goal line stand which featured one of the best individual defensive plays no one ever talks about. Chad Jones batting down a pass to a wide open MSU receiver.

It was a vintage frustrating Les game where LSU was able to do just enough when it mattered most to pull out a win. The sun finally came out just after the stop. The MSU fans were furious about losing...after being total ambivalent about their chances at the beginning. As I was walking out, some guy was just yelling something. When I looked at him to see what in the hell he was yelling he challenged me to a fight. Luckily, it didn't escalate from there as I just laughed it off. I got back to the tailgate and it was a big sloppy, muddy, mess of 25 MSU fans/recent grads who were all pissed at me as if I did anything to cause the loss.

Mississippi state...2000 OT game

Right about the time we started to realize we were truly on to something and headed in the right direction. Yes, we had already beaten Tennessee a week after losing to UAB, but Booty was back under center and was putting together a 1st team all SEC stretch and that Saban guy was starting to get results. Just look how excited we all were. And that's the happiest i ever saw Saban until he jumped into A.J. Webb's arms more than 10 years later. Tiger Stadium still held on to that historic mystique and it was just different being starved for success like we had been for so long. The 2000 season will always be one of my favorites. 1st year at LSU and riding along from the beginning of the golden age in which we're still cruising 20 years later. It's been an amazing millennium

2007 was fun. Our defense got 7 turnovers that game and we won 45-0. It was one of the most lopsided games I have ever seen.

96 was fun
