I'd pick my dad to bring, because football games were our special thing and he isn't here anymore, and I always miss him so much when I go to games.

I'd definitely pick the 1993 Sugar Bowl, and probably the 2009 Tennessee game. I was at that game and it was just so much fun. Haven't decided on the third one yet.

If I could go to other teams's games, I would probably pick the 59 LSU - Ole Miss game, though maybe the LSU earthquake game.

The old games always look like so much fun.

Well LSU fans don't have that many good ones to choose from before 2000.

Just a few off the top of my head:

1997 vs #1 UF
1992 @ Alabama
1988 vs #4 Auburn
1988 @ Tennessee
1985 @ Notre Dame
1984 @ USC
1982 @ Alabama
1982 vs FSU
1972 vs Ole Miss
1971 vs Notre Dame
1969 Cotton Bowl vs Texas*
1965 Cotton Bowl vs Arkansas
1962 Cotton Bowl vs Texas
1959 vs Ole Miss
1958 Sugar Bowl vs Clemson
1957 vs Alabama
1934 @ Vanderbilt
...
1907 Bacardi Bowl vs Havana!



...b!tch.


ETA: 1934 vs Vandy:


Dan McGugin (left), Huey Long (middle) and
Nashville mayor Hilary Howse (right).

In 1934, the flamboyant and controversial Senator from Louisiana, Huey Long, led a contingent of LSU fans by rail cars into Nashville. At this time, the former Louisiana governor (1928-32) was deflecting rumors that he was preparing to challenge Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency.

Long secured six special trains consisting of over 100 cars carrying 5,000 LSU fans from Baton Rouge to Nashville's Union Station. The collection of Tiger fans arrived in Nashville on the morning of the game. The "Kingfish" needed to work out details between Tennessee officials and the dozens of armed Louisiana police parading into the state.

The Tennessee Game and Fish Commission sent word that the Louisianans could enter the state as "deputy game wardens" to guard whatever "wildlife you may see fit." This solved the problem of the gun-toting policemen from the Pelican state. Also joining in on the "circus" was the 125-piece LSU band and 1,500 LSU cadets. The cadets were wearing their new grey uniforms that were rushed from the tailors.

The newspapers reported that Long also "loaned" seven dollars each to those 1,000 or so students who lacked funds to make the trip. The Senator stated that he acquired the money from "contributors." Long dispatched his "sound trucks' to Nashville indicating the Kingfish had planned to make a speech.

Liberty Bowl Dec 29th, 1982. Bear's last game.

Sugar Bowl Jan 1st, 1993. First NC as an adult and the beatdown of an arrogant Miami team.

Rose Bowl Jan 1st, 1926. First NC for Bama.

I'd take Cutie.

So many to choose from it's hard to pick:


1. 1946 LSU vs either A&M or Tulane to see Y.A. Title carve up one of our rivals.

2. 1959 LSU-Ole Miss to see Billy's punt return

3. 1982 LSU-Alabama to see Stovall end Bear's career
