The whole 2019 LSU season, specifically the Auburn, Bama, and Clemson games (only 3 games after the Texas game where the outcome was ever in doubt***). It’s well above the Saints Super Bowl and other 2 LSU NCs because I got to experience that whole season with my son. He’d always liked LSU and watched games with me, but he didn’t catch the bug and become emotionally invested until 2018. So experiencing 2019 with him and through his eyes was not only the greatest fan experience I’ve ever had, but the greatest I ever could have.
***I never really felt the Auburn game was in doubt, though the score was close at times. I included this because the 2 of us drove down from NLA by ourselves to go to the game. Stopped and toured The Myrtles on our way in, watched the band walk down the hill, and even got across the street to the PMAC in time to see the basketball team practice and get their SEC Championship rings. Pretty cool day.

Homecoming game in HS was against our heated, cross town, probably better than us rival in Lakeland HS.
We’re doing by 5 in the bottom of the 7th and LHS absolutely implodes and shite turns crazy. Walks and multiple shitty pickoff attempts that reach the right field corner and score multiple runs for us lead to their pitcher losing his shite, tossing his glove at an umpire, and being ejected. He gets escorted out of the area after throwing dugout chairs onto the field.
It was fricking wild. This whole time I’m on deck, with a runner on 2nd, down 1.
They bring in a fairly nice professional prospect named Yordi Cabrera to get me out. He wasn’t really a pitcher but threw gas that would usually be enough to overpower me at that time.
First pitch(FB) was eye level down the middle. Saw it like a beach ball.
Second pitch(FB) was chest level down the middle.
I’ve never been so sure of something in my life. If he brought it down a little more I was going to end the game.
3rd pitch was belt level and I watched it sail over our left center scoreboard before I even knew I had swung. It was the most out of body experience I’ve ever I’ve had. I even pulled an egregious bat flip that I don’t remember

2004 ALCS/World Series. The 11 days from when game 4 of the ALCS took place to game 4 of the World Series were just magical.

As an athlete (sorta): My athletic career was anything but stellar. A may 1985 Air Force league softball game where I snagged a final out line drive at second to secure the win was as good as it got for me.
As a fan: Saints SB 44 win is obvious.
VGK making the Stanley Cup Finals in their first year, lifting a city that was still reeling from the Route 91 Festival mass shooting. It brought back memories of the Saints' 2006 season when they returned home after Katrina.
Of LSU's 3 NCs that I've witnessed, I have an odd affection for the 2007 NC above the others. Yeah, 2003 broke a long drought and 2019 was perhaps the most amazing team ever. That said, the 2007 team was very good in their own right and incredibly lucky just to be there. Them being the champions of likely the craziest season in college football history just seems fitting.

15 and 0. LSU 2019. My favorite season. Heisman, NC all in one.

MSU beating OSU for the 2013 B10 Title game, jeremy langford sealing the game with a huge TD run. I always heard the lore of winning the big10 and Rose Bowl and that was a great feeling.

Swear this game was one of my first thoughts too. Remember it like it was yesterday. You absolutely cranked that pitch, flipped the bat and stared at us in the dugout as we all lost our shite
Great memory

I wish I could remember more of it
I don’t even know what we did after. Probably either drank in the parking lot or went home and played Diablo 2

Seeing my high school alma mater win the Georgia High School state championship in football in 2013. And being on the sideline in the Georgia Dome(RIP) to see it.
I've had others(seeing both the Steelers and Pens win multiple titles in the last 15 years), but that is the top one.

No one gave them a chance against Milwaukee, which made it all the more sweeter.
