re: Your most cherished LSU sports moment...

I was at both BCSNCG wins, the '97 victory over Florida ("you never forget your first time"), all SEC champ games.

BUT, the most cherished would have to be my first two LSU games in Tiger stadium. A loss to Kentucky in '94 and a win over #2 Auburn in '95. Was on the 2nd row of the student section when we held Auburn four straight plays on D in the north endzone at the very end of the game. The noise was deafening. I've been hooked since, and still am after 17 years of season tickets.

The '07 Florida game. That was crazy. I was in Florida at the time but still.....

Haven't thoroughly followed LSU sports that long, so the best one right now is getting to see LSU beat no. 3 Arkansas to go 12-0 and win the division.

Hickey's OT buzzer beater against No. 23 Mississippi State this year was pretty sweet as well, we were going insane. But not really that huge of a game

Id have to say witnessing first hand Marcus Randall from about his own 15 launching a prayer to Michael Clayton who appeared to have bobbled the ball away only to realize that Mikey no longer had the ball as it had bounced into the streaking arms of Devery Henderson who after avoiding a near shoestring tackle absolutely turned on the after burners and ran it in for a Tiger TD to win the game. Best part was Kentucky was already in pre-celebration mode! Man am I glad I decided to accompany my cousin and his folks on his college tour. Best LSU moment of my life!!!

Twas the fall of '79 a somewhat balmy but clear day as I recall. Taking the day of work, I had my long awaited plans laid out before me, With a pocket full of cash I headed up along the Mississippi to the concrete bastion that is now the epicenter of college football. 5 hours before game time I surely would be able to obtain the coveted piece of paper that would allow me in to watch what was building up to be the apex in the world of college football. Found a parking spot, got my 1 ticket sign, and proceeded toward the hill. No luck on the way, getting close to the stadium realized this may be more difficult than ever before, acquiring a ticket was never a problem. I swept wide to the right toward the south end zone . Only hours to go , panic is setting in. A thousand signs and hands in the air, where are they coming from. Time to punt and get back to the parking areas. More hands and signs, back to the stadium. Game is starting, still outside the north end zone. Game on. Still trying. The cacophony of cheers is flowing out of the stadium like the water down the Mississippi. The din from the crowd is deafening even from outside. If the old structure can handle this, nothing could bring it down. Half way through the 1st quarter, defeat. Back to the car to listen on the radio. I left it all on the campus that day. I played my best game and lost. A bad call finished me off. Maybe this will be the get even year. USC sons of bitches.

Has to be 2007 Florida when the Stanford USC score was announced. Was the loudest I've ever heard a stadium in my life. I thought the stadium would fall apart. Best 80 buks ever spent to sit by myself next to a fat LSU lady and an annoying gator lady.

My personal two most cherished are:
September 5, 1981 - first time I marched in Pre-Game as a member of the Golden Band from Tigerland. Completely overwhelmed and scared shitless.
November 29, 1986 - last time I marched in Pre-Game in Tiger Stadium as a member of the Golden Band from Tigerland. Tears rolled down my cheeks knowing it was the last time and I tried to soak up every tiny bit of detail.

Being 65 years old now(!!!)and being an avid Tiger Fan since I was 11 years old and began listing to LSU games on the radio w/J.C. Politz announcing, I can truly say with the '03 NC game winding down and when Donnie Jones got the punt off and hearing Doug Moreau said, "It's over". This realization that in those last 45 years since the '58 championship, my hopes for the Tigers had finally come true...think about it...45 years later. However, the Morris homerun runs a close second!!!
Forever LSU!

When I watched Shaq leap over (literally) the center from Mcneese St and grab the ball off of a rebound and slam it back in. I was in the PMAC for that one with my best friend as a kid who passed away in 1999. We were 12, and when Shaq Attack slammed it we thought the lid was gonna come off the building.
