2009 vs Arkansas was a hell of a game. Ended in OT. Had that epic Chad Jones hit. I remember being down about the season but celebrating the hell out of that win

2006 LSU Arizona

Might be one of the dominating football games ever played vs another P5 opponent.

2008 vs.Troy

No. 20 LSU was down 28 in the third quarter to an unranked Troy team. The Tigers roared back, scoring 37 unanswered points in the last 20 or so minutes of gameplay. This is one of, if not the biggest, second-half comeback in LSU history

11/26/94 LSU 30, Arkansas 12 @ War Memorial Stadium, Little Rock

Curley’s last game and my first LSU road game. Both teams finished 4-7, but it was great to beat the pigshites after they waxed us in their first 2 seasons in the conference. Also showed that our roster was better than 4 wins, all we needed was a halfway competent coach

Arkansas 1999 was a fun one. It was the last game of the year after Dinardo was let go. We played uncharacteristically well and won the game.

That was actually the beginning of the Golden Era.
That game helped convince Saban that LSU was a sleeping giant and he was hired shortly thereafter.

I was 41 years old, but somehow wound up sitting in the student section where the real fans were present, and the alcohol was flowing freely.
A fun ending to a miserable season.

We were 4-5 then. Had to beat Ole Miss to get to 5-5….don’t guess that game qualifies since we set an SEC record that day.

2014 Ole Miss - winning this game really just changed our bowl destination from Texas to Music City. Ole Miss was #3 and this game changed the trajectory of their season after they upset Bama.


This must be the answer. An incredibly mediocre season for LSU. The highest ranked Ole Miss team coming into Tiger Stadium in over 50 years. Big brother rips their hearts out again just for fun.

'74 win vs UTenn.

We finished the season 5-5-1 but defeated the Vols 20-10 in TS. Our lifetime record vs UTenn is pretty dismal so it was nice to get a win.

The Cade York 57 yard fg in the fog was epic

It was cold as frick in that tiny stadium. People starting fires in all the garbage bins. It was fun.

2021 Texas Bowl- that game was everything that being a Tiger is about. Other teams declined bowls, the roster was depleted, no QB, we still went and competed. One of my favorite games all time even in a loss.
