For me:

2003

2019




2007


2003 will always be bigger to me because I grew up going to the games with my father and for much of that time we sucked. I was a sophomore at LSU at that time. Had class with Spears and Clayton that semester. I got to go to the game with my dad, who almost cried when we won. We never really thought we would see that.

This one is amazing because it’s probably the best team we have ever had and it’s our first truly 100% undisputed championship.

2019 kicks the shite out of any of them. 2003 was awesome and I'll never forget it, but this one was storybook.

Tough for me to rank them as they are all special in their own way. I probably would say I enjoyed 2007 the most simply because it was my senior year. 2003 was fun but I had redshirted that year. 2019 is of course the best season overall.

1958, 2019, 2003, 2007 Sorry guys, I was 10 years old when the Tigers won the National Championship with the White Team, the Go Team and the Chinese Bandits.... Billy Cannon, Max Fugler, Johnny Robinson, Red Hendrix, Bo Strange, Durel Matherne, Tommy Lott, Scooter Purvis, etc i 1958. It will always be magical.

That doesn't take anything away from the 2019 Tigers. They were a special lot and what they did is something no other collegiant team has ever done. Geaux Tigers

2019 takes the cake.


I was around for 2007 and loved it. The Florida game was amazing.


But honestly, this year cannot be topped. From rock bottom of 2011, to the greatest season in college football history. This was the team that proved we were everything and more, we just needed a proper offensive scheme.

I could seriously start getting teary eyed just thinking about it all again.

2019, with 2003 a close runner up. Growing up, I never thought LSU would be able to win a national title. After watching all those years of sucking, it was special to watch them win it all in 2003. But watching this year's team light up the score board against so many top 10 opponents and finally getting past the most hated rival after 8 straight losses puts this season a step above for me.

I'd have to go with 2003 first. I just remember how excited everyone was, and how unbelievable it was to most of us in Louisiana. It will always be #1 for me. So.......

1. 2003
2. 2019
3. 2007


4. 2011 (I know we didn't win the national championship, but it was still the second most enjoyable SEASON for me)

Same, that's why 2003 is so special.

But that's also why 2019 is so incredible. I grew up thinking LSU would never win a title. Still never thought LSU would have a Heisman winner, much less at QB. Then I watched an LSU QB have the greatest QB season of all time, sweep the awards, and win an undefeated 15-0 championship against the toughest competition any champion has ever faced.

Nothing comes close to this year for me.

2003, because it was the first one for me.

2019, because LSU just forced the doubters to eat their words.

2007 may have been the wildest ride.

2003, 2019, 2007

Nothing compares to winning it as a student IMO as OP stated. That fact for me, coupled with it being the first one since the 50's was just such a huge deal.

The 03' and 07' were great, but we had losses and "backed in" to the game due to other teams slipping up.

LSU revolutionized its offense, beat the world in 2019, our guys won virtually every award, and we won the Natty.

We just had the best college football team ever. Enjoy being on top of the mountain.

1. 2019: The greatest season of all time, I had tickets to and tailgated just about every home game... the memories of watching the first Heisman in my lifetime, beating bama, gator chomping UF out of the valley, bringing a dude who is like a brother to me to his first ever game... it goes on and on... this was SPECIAL.

2. 2007: It was my freshman year...was in the student section for every game.... it was a crazy drunken ride and I count myself damn lucky to have have been a student during it.








3. 2003: Great team and a hell of a season.... but I think I was a freshman in HS... hard to really appreciate what it meant

1) 2019
1a) 2003
3 (tie)) 1958, 2007

2003 was special because it came after close to 15 years of misery and pathetic football preceded by 40 years of "next year's the year!" style optimism. Growing up I read and heard about the 1958 team but had more or less resigned myself to the fact that we just weren't going to make it back into that stratosphere.

2019 is the most completely dominant team we've ever had. It is really tough to imagine any future team topping this one.
