LSUTigerBand85.......What was your first year in Tiger Band?

I was there when we beat the Bear!

Yep 1982 Bama beat down. Great day to be a Tiger I was there l

Without a doubt, mine was 2019 at Alabama. That was so satisfying. Walking to concessions at halftime, when we had just taken a 33-13 lead, was almost on a par with the birth of my children.

My best game at LSU was probably the famous “Oranges Game” against FSU in the early 80’s. I was in college; it was unbelievably raucous; and I knew I was getting laid afterwards.

Too many to count. 2019 UF was the most festive atmosphere I’ve ever been in.

Been a season ticket holder for nearly 40 years. To this day the 2007 Florida game remains the only game where I left the stadium emotionally drained simply from watching a football game. The tenseness and emotion swings in that game were incredible.

It was a very muggy mid-October night and the all day build up to the game was huge. Florida controlled the game early and went up by 10. Time and time again LSU would inch closer, only for Florida to answer and stay up by 10. Including very quickly after LSU had cut the lead to 3 and the stadium was going berserk during the media timeout after it was announced USC had lost to Stanford. The emotion swings from doubt to jubilation were constant and intense. And that was just in the first 3 quarters.

The fourth quarter was epic. I sit on the east side (chairbacks) and it remains the ONLY game where young and old did not sit down for the entire quarter. The final drive alone was legendary and one of the most physical drives in LSU history. It seemed incredible, maybe crazy, that down 3 with 2:00 to go inside the 10 Miles would pass on the tying FG. But time and time again LSU answered the bell. When Hester scored at the goaline it was almost more a sense of relief instead of excitement that the last 25-30 minutes or so (real time) of extreme tension was over. I think with the passage of time people forget Florida led the game for 55 minutes!!! LSU never had the ball with the lead

I was at the 1982 game at Alabama and the 2003 Georgia game, and a lot of other great ones too. But two games always stick out in my mind. The 1982 Florida State game is one I will always remember, the fog and the oranges flying everywhere and the arse kicking applied to FSU.

Was at both these games… yes was exciting when the Tiger killed the bear but that Florida State game was sooo much fun an a little surreal when the fog rolled in. We had sacks of oranges and pummeled everyone below.

Looking back on it I can’t believe they let all these students in carrying sacks of oranges. No way that would fly today.

I remember the oranges pelting and bouncing off the FSU players every time they came near the student section.

1) 2022 Alabama
2) 2014 Ole Miss. People forget about this game but we scored a game winning touchdown against the number #3 team in the country. Game was nuts.
3) 2019 Florida
