It was a great night, me and my dad won the ticket lotto for this game and the sec title game that year. I was pumped to be there after going to games since I could walk.

"First" row in the student section. I put it in quotes because the first two or three rows were left empty in that endzone for some reason.

Great times!

my wife and I were sitting on row 1 of the upper deck on about the 20 yard line. That was an amazing night.

I was there with my family.

I flew in to New Orleans from Florida, met everyone there and we went to the game.

Iraq... about to watch the LSU game on the Armed Forces Network while everyone else was still sleeping.

Then I had to get to work right after that. It was a good day.

My husband and I had just moved to Texas and watched the game at a local bar. There were only 3 other LSU fans there with the rest of the bar packed with very confident Sooners. I might have gotten a little obnoxious

I was at home with the wife and young son. I was watching from the lazyboy when JV broke that run, I ran across the room screaming holding my son like a football. Wife took him from me for the rest of the game.

Was there that night. Sat next to an OU fan that had knee surgery....was cramped. Selfish, I know.

Walked to the FQ afterwards, the sea of people making that walk was awesome.

This game was one of my first vivid memories of LSU football.

I was eight years old at the time and I have vague memories of watching many games before that (bluegrass miracle kind of stands out as well), but this game is definitely the first one for me that really stands out.

We went to a family friend's house to watch the game, but for some reason we left at halftime (think it was because my parents had work the next day). I was pretty pissed off at their weak shite and I made sure I stayed up to watch the entire game in my room. The Spears pick-six is the play that stands out the most to me, as I'm sure is the case for many.

Edit: We also went to the Celebration in The Oaks at City Park with the same family friends during the SEC Championship game that same season. I remember my dads friend brought a little portable FM radio so we could listen to the game while at City Park and his wife not being too amused. They got divorced many years later.

At a house part with my dad and all his LSU buddies. That was the night I decided I was going to be a Tiger when it was time to choose a college.

That was an awesome night. I was sitting in section 631 next to the late TD member Coolidge.
