2002 UGA.

David Greene threw a TD on 4th and 15 to put the Bulldogs up 4 with like a minute to go. That clinched the SEC East for them. Happened right in front of me.

Oct 3, 1998 in Baton Rouge

UGA 28
LSU 27

Quincy Carter and Champ Bailey were unbelievable in that game. It may be the best game I've ever seen in person.

1979 LSU-USC. Great atmosphere and game. That 79 USC team was the most talent laden I’ve ever seen play in Tiger Stadium.
So loud I could feel vibrations in my stomach. Phantom face mask penalty and offsides no-call on the same play.

Many forget, but the game ended with an LSU pass to the end zone that would have won it.

Yeldon screen for sure. Loudest I’ve heard Tiger Stadium rivaling 07 Florida for me.

The Camback

Up 24-0, Bryant-Denny was like a celebration. Remember celebrating with bourbon shots with the people in front of me. I was in the north end zone - still can’t believe the Ingram fumble didn’t go out of bounds.

Walking out, right next to the Auburn band as they played reverse Rammer Jammer - still not a game that compares when it comes to highest of highs and lowest of lows.

Was in Jordan-Hare the following year when Alabama won 42-14. It softened the blow but still, blowing the 24-0 lead at home to Auburn’s national championship team with Cam - easily #1.

2007 LSU-Arkansas for me as well. It's actually the last LSU game I attended at home that we lost. It remains the loudest game I have attended...and the quietest. There is not a person there who thought there was any way that did not end the season.

Best game?

2007 Auburn @ LSU.

Why the hell did Miles call that? How the hell did it work?

Going to be 100% honest. I think this is the most overrated game in LSU history. The one second left is soooo overblown. It really was a much safer call that that...he caught it with 3-4 seconds left. They were really playing for the FG and that just worked out.

1993 Georgia - Florida

I'm at the game. It's cold and wet. Zeier throws what appeared to be a game tying TD at the end of the game. Place goes nuts. I hugged some dude I didn't know. All the pain of sitting through the miserable weather made worth it in one throw.

Then the refs decide Florida DB Lott called a T.O. right before the snap.

Zeier's next pass falls incomplete. Game over. 33-26 gators. Life sucks, then you die.

This news report says it was 1 second, and that’s what I remember.

LSU was in field goal range with 25 seconds. Miles let the clock bleed to 9 seconds before the snap happened.

It was a dumbass, risky play because of how long it took to snap. 1 more second of the ball in the air or if a sack happened or Byrd drops it, and the game would have been over. 24-23 Auburn.
