unfortunately: Shaun Alexander vs LSU in '96

and in same age, Brian Sparacino was amazingly bad at QB.

Watched Wally Szczerbiak drop 43 points on Washington in the NCAA tournament around 98-99 at the NOLA regionals.

Saw LSU baseball erase an 8 run 8th inning lead in the lates 80s

My jr. year, 94', our HS school played against Glen Oaks against Lester Earl, Corey Johnson and crew, we ended up taking them to DBL OT and lost by 2, Our tallest player was 6-3 and didnt play much. Was the best basketball game I saw in person. That night Rick Petino and Dale Brown were there together watching the game, the next night Kentucky came back from 31 down to beat LSU.

I was at the LSU @ Auburn interception game in 1994. The amazing part of that game was Hallman’s stupidity for continuing to throw the ball.

I was also at the Prayer at Jordan-Hare and Kick Six games.

Two LSU BB ones:

I saw Lyle Mouton hit a frickING BOMB that looked like it was still rising when it went over the apartments in left field. That thing probably landed at the Pastime downtown.

I saw Chris Stratton and Kevin Gausman strike out about 20 batters each, in a game that took about 90 minutes and LSU won in a walk off.

I was at this game. Never felt more helpless as a fan at a game.

Indianapolis, United States Grand Prix, 2005. Watched a Formula One race with six cars, Colombian fans almost tear down some grandstands, and witnessed auto racing history.

Jayden Daniels v Florida 2023.

First time I was literally jaw open amazed at watching an athlete perform. Some of his runs made no physical sense when you watched them live. I was mid way up lower bowl and could see plays develop. I saw a run that looks like an 8 yard scramble get stretched to a first down but with a CB having a sure angle... until he didn't because Jayden was going so fast he outran an angle and turned into a TD. He looked like he was floating on air, he was uncatchable...he looked like a senior playing flag football with a kindergarten class... add to that he couldn't miss on his passes.

I still have that ticket stub and will sometimes just look at it in awe of what we saw in that stadium that night.

372 passing yards 3 passing TDs
12 rushes for 234 yds and 2 rushing TDs

Everything everyone has said has been great, but let's not forget, and don’t let anything distract you, from the fact that 55 years ago today, Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High Panthers in the city championship game.

told this before and everyone thinks it's bs but here it is again

quote:

went to Parkway in Bossier


in basketball, this was right after the Arab oil embargo so everyone was allowed to drive to the games, I rode with my best friend, scored 24 points, he had like 25-26, it began storming during the game, after the game one of the cheerleaders came up to me and said she was afraid to drive in the weather, would I drive her home(cue the porn music,) we stopped at a 7-11 and got an eight pack of Miller Ponys, went and parked right next to my house, about a three acre lot, heavily wooded, neighbors had recently moved out, we had animal sex in her car till about 1:30-2:00am, she dropped me off at my house, I got up in a few hours, went and took the ACT without any prep and smoked it
