LSU beat Oklahoma in the National Championship Game. Justin Vincent ripped off a huge run on the first play from scrimmage and then Marcus Spears sealed it with the pick 6. What a night!

And then we fumbled on the second play on the Oklahoma 3 yard line turning the ball over to the Sooners...

The night it snowed was the Sugar Bowl versus Illinois.

You mean Lionel Turner sealed it with the sack on 4th & 10. That pick six happened on the first drive of the 3rd Quarter and we were dead offensively in the second half.

I was there, it was Glorious! I told my friends that I thought Saban was different but couldn’t understand paying a Coach 1 Million dollars. Fast forward We give one Coach 18mill to walk away and guarantee 100mill to another in 2 months time. Good Times

We got two tickets in the ticket lottery that LSU had for ticket holders. I was so beyond thrilled.

I was there. Have the pics and tickets still to prove it. I would’ve killed to go because I thought we would never do it again. Pleasantly wrong.

We walked from the dome to Harrah's after the game and I played blackjack with my grandfather for 3 hours. One of the most memorable nights of my life.

Enjoyed that game a lot. The Oklahoma fans who I met were truly football fans. Competitive but very respectful. Unlike our fan base who attacked them adnauseam. It was really nice to have a true football conversation with opposing team. They should not have even been in that game because the lost to Kansas St the week before 35-7. Remember us chanting “LSU… USC, Oklahoma’s number 3.” After the Kansas St score was shown. In fact if you watch the game replay you can hear it loud and clear.

Parent's surprised me and my brother day of the game that we were going. I was nine, brother was 12. Sat on Oklahoma's side and gave their fans hell all night. Remember it like it was yesterday. People were in tears thinking they'd never see LSU win it all. What a night

Yes. That was the year that USC tried to claim a split National Championship. As I have constantly said… LSU won the Championship and USC won a title. Just one title. The crooked media title. Enemy of the people title! Have disliked Pete Carol ever since.
