Any LSU fan that traveled to Athens in 2013 should list that one. It was a back and forth air show between Mett and Murray. NFL players all over the field on offense and defense. Came down to the very end.


One of my all time favorites to watch as a fan. Think about the previous season. Bama, LSU, and UGA felt like the 3 best teams in America but Bama edged us both. The year before that we had to go through yall to get to the Championship game. These 3 schools were so stacked in that era.

That Croyle/Demeco Ryans team was awesome. Believe yall were top 3 when we played. 2005 LSU had it not been for the Katrina mess could have hung with USC or Texas. Miles first team was STACKED.

Ah yes, the 2011 SECCG where the Honeybadger returned a kick for a TD right before halftime to swing momentum to LSU. UGA was starting to run away with it before that play.

It's funny how several of these are LSU-UGA games, on both sides, considering historically we didn't play nearly as much as other SEC opponents.

Can’t remember what year but the back and forth in Athens 2013 I think was nuts!

Bama 2016. Greatest environment ever. We were about six total inches from winning 14-10 on two fumble sixes where we or they were just barely down. Instead it was 0-10.

2000 vs Florida in Knoxville. Jabar Gaffney catches (and drops) a TD pass with 20 seconds left to give Florida a 27-23 win.

#2 Arkansas lost 112 to 105 to #1 UNLV in Fayetteville. The most exciting game I've ever been to. I was 15. It was in the old Barnhill Arena and it was loud af.


I was there. Second row of the student section. Got to meet Walter Payton and he signed my student ticket. The hype for that game was nuts. We led at halftime, but LJ and Stacey Augmon were beasts and controlled the second half.

Feel genuinely sorry for him. If we had been able to recruit an OL... not to mention losing his biggest weapon (Tyrone Prothro).

Can't help but think if he had been surrounded by the same talent as Tua and Jalen he'd have made it to the NFL.

zero.

I've been to 13 Bama games and Bama won all of them. Have no idea how I've been that lucky.

this one is pretty obscure, but 1981 MSU at Jordan-Hare (Pat Dye’s first season)

State was 5-1 and #9 in the AP and might have overlooked us ahead of their showdown with #11 Bama (the year after MSU broke Bryant’s winning streak) and both teams fought pretty evenly throughout

late in the 4th quarter MSU led 21-17 but AU was driving, and the crowd was going wild. Dye appeared to go for it on 4th and short around the MSU 40. MSU lineman jumped offside and the AU QB called a quick snap - but the ref ruled he got back in time and turned the ball over on downs. MSU then ran out the clock.

Dye shook hands with MSU HC Emory Bellard, then sprinted after the ref and demanded an explanation of the 4th down call. From my perspective in the student section it appeared he didn’t get an adequate response

painful loss, but it showed me we had the right guy to bring us back to respectability

2003 OM/LSU…..but we won the west that year so it all worked out****

But seriously, Ole Miss has suffered more heartbreak than the rest of you idiots combined….
