re: LSU fans. More satisfying upset, 93' Alabama or 97' Florida?

I'm biased by my personal experience but 97 Florida is the answer.
Florida beat LSU 13 of 14 times in the 14 year stretch between 1988 and 2001. All of the LSU losses between 1993 and 2001 were by more than a touchdown (five by three or more touchdowns). The combination of LSU being down and Spurrier being at his peak made most of those games massacres. The one upset, the one saving grace for LSU against that team was beating them in 97.
Obviously as a LSU fan you love beating Alabama and beating them in 1993 coming off their NC was special (considering how terrible LSU generally was) but it isn't nearly the monumental upset that the LSU win was in the LSU vs Florida series.
For reference (1988-2001)
LSU vs Alabama
5 wins, 9 losses. Four of the five wins @ Alabama. Average score in the 14 games LSU 16.3 Alabama 21.6
LSU vs Florida
1 win, 13 losses. Average score in the 14 games LSU 11.7 Florida 32.6
