the Heart Attack season for sure.


That season has some of the best (and worst memories) ever. That '07 UF game had to be one of the greatest of all time.

not really with this.

03-07?

They went to Omaha in 03 and 04.. Pretty good in 05.. 06 and 07 sucked.

Overall with football and basketball it was the best time as a student.

My dad was enrolled at LSU in the late 60's while The Pistol was there. He even got to watch him on the freshman team. Obviously this would have been amazing to watch as he WOULD have averaged close to 60 pts per had there been a three point line at the time.

Def 2003-2007 (although I actually graduated in '08). First time winning a football NC in over 50 years in your freshman year, fuhgeddaboudit. Witnessed the transition of Nick Saban to Les Miles and won a NC with both coaches. Very intriguing time for LSU sports fans. Not to mention the men's Final Four (don't forget they beat Duke to get there, Temple shut down Reddick) and the dominant women's bball, and the always stellar baseball teams.

I started at LSU Fall of 2003, and stayed through Grad School in 2009. I got to see two football championships, and a baseball championship.

I know this was slightly stretching it, but it was a good time to be an LSU student.

Ok...If you enrolled in 1969 would could watch Pistol Pete Maravich at the Cow Palace and Dale Brown and his hustlers the next few years including collis Temple.
The football team was on a four year roll with great teams and players including Bert Jones and Tommy Casanova We beat Bama and Notre Dame's arse
in that period. Jim Smith's baseball team...meh


This. No national championships but we sure had a lot of fun!
