re: Favorite LSU versus Auburn Moment

Fournette's game in 2015 will also be etched in my brain. Was in a wedding that night so we were enjoying some drinks watching the game.

Was at the game where Chark has the PR TD

Flynn to Byrd

1969. First play from scrimmage: halfback pass (actually backup QB in HB position) throws to Andy Hamilton for TD. Nobody, but nobody, expected the conservative Cholly Mac to call such an audacious play.

I’m a younger Tiger fan, but nothing will ever top Leonard Fournette running buck wild against Auburn at a game I was in attendance for. Fournette broke off the first run of the game for like 70 yards, and I knew we were in for a treat that day. It was so hot that day though.

They were hanging out free waters and water was flying when fournette sent that auburn defender flying who was talking shite

So many great games to choose from. Definitely the best “Drama” game it seemed every year.,This rivalry will be missed next year.

A sentimental favorite is 2017

The next home game after losing to Troy State, #10 ranked Auburn jumps up 17-0 in the first quarter. It's 100 degrees in Tiger Stadium, noonish kickoff, and it looks like the wheels are about to fall off the Orgeron era. Leaving at halftime is starting to look like a real option.

Then Stephan Sullivan scores on a desperation 4th and goal end around, Gage makes a fingertip catch in the corner of the end zone, and Auburn inexplicably decides to punt to DJ Chark to open the 4th quarter - 75 yard TD.

It's not a meaningful game, in the long run, or an all time classic like 2001 or 2007, but it's absolutely one of my best personal memories in Tiger Stadium. I can't even verbally express how certain defeat seemed in the first half of that game, in all my years I don't think I've ever seen the Tigers claw their way back from that bad of a hole.

edit: thank you all for 20 years and 15,000 posts (actually over 20 years if you count Tiger Droppings 1.0, a very different-looking website which didn't even have post counts). If not for Chicken and Circus Child my law school GPA would've been significantly higher. Thanks guys

I remember our band getting in a fight with their kicker after their halftime performance. Duval was the Auburn's kicker name.

This was towards the end of halftime while TGBFTL was still on the field playing HEY FIGHTING TIGERS while marching towards the South Endzone.

This dumb MF'er Damon Duval was out on the field practicing FG's and when the band reached the area he was in, he just stayed there and refused to get off the field, displaying no common sense or awareness of the sitution.

There was a little pushing and shoving as Tiger Band marched through, but nothing major.

The Tiger Stadium crowd was pissed and Booed for a long time over the incident.

Tubberville even talked about it in his post-game press conference as well........

LSU Auburn at Tiger Stadium is my favorite.
2011- Got to watch from the Upper West side
2013- Watched from student section in that stiff dew we had. Gave Auburn their only L that year.
2015- brought my now wife to her first game and watch LF7 run all over
2021- Brought my son to his first game. We lost, but he couldn’t stop talking about how much fun it was.
Hoping for another classic one with grandpa tagging along Saturday. See y’all in the NEZ

Barn Burner 1996. The barn was on fire and so was Raion Hill. He intercepted a 2 point conversion and ran it back for 2 points.
It was his second INT of the night. The first he ran back for a touchdown.
ETA: LSU won 19-15
That INT was a 4 point swing.
