Memorable LSU-UGA games

My choices:
2018- Yeah it was a blowout, but it was a remarkable game by a flawed LSU team and kind of the coming out party for Burrow and CEH. UGA brought a huge contingent, great fans. Seeing Goggles try to run that fake FG was priceless lol. Burrow had a huge run to seal the game and was probably our leading rusher overall while also taking a ton of hits
2013- Two offensive juggernauts going at it. Mettenberger making his return home. Murray and Gurley outscored Mett, Hill, OBJ and Landry. I'm still shocked we couldn't score on our last possession, i felt the team who had it last would win.
2004- Awful game that UGA dominated from start to finish, but i'll always remember Xavier Carter (track star who dabbled in football) catching a kickoff and kneeling at our one yard line
2003 (regular season)- Classic early season matchup between SEC titans, UGA was the defending SEC champs, college gameday was there. Matt Mauck to Skyler Green for the game-winner on a broken route.
1999- I try to memory hole that season, but I remember it being one of our many close losses in 98-99
1998- This turned out to be a huge turning point for DiNardo as his hire of DC Lou Tepper started to look really bad. Ofc DiNarsdo's downfall led to Saban coming to the SEC. Quincy Carter and Champ Bailey balled out; so did Herb Tyler and Kevin Faulk, but it wasn't enough as UGA won 28-27. A certain UGA safety named Kirby Smart had a huge play.

Although we lost, 2013 was highly entertaining

Yeah 2013 was a blast to watch. Both Mett and Murray had monster games.
Mett - 23/37 , 372 yds, 3 tds
Murray - 20/34 , 297 yds (memory had this number higher), 4tds

2003 was a heart breaker.
I had 2013 DVRed at our old house but lost it when we moved. I need to look for a replay of it on SECN or something this week.
Here is to 2019 being a great game

Didn't Gurley get hurt in that game? It derailed Georgia's season, which led to Richt's decline and demise there

By the way, I’d say 2005 was pretty memorable.

Gurley tore his ACL against Auburn in 2014 then declared for the draft. Richt's last year was 2015.
He also sat out the first half of the season for NCAA bullshite.

Maybe for UGA fans, LSU was completely listless (no bye week or fall practices due to Katrina) and yall kicked our asses lol. I forgot 2009 and 08, those had their moments too

I know this is your personal list and all but a lot of these sure aren't "memorable", at least not to a casual viewer. To an impartial outside observer, I would say 2013, 1998, and maaaaybe 2003 regular season would be the only 3 that should make the list.

1999 was the Josh (LSU fan stuck his finger in my) Booty game.

I laughed way harder than I should have at this.

I'll always remember 1999 because Will Witherspoon jumped as high as I'd ever seen a linebacker jump in my life to bat down that easy, gimme 2 point coversion that would have won the game for LSU.
That and some swamp trash doing donuts on the field the night before the game and tearing it up

Holy shite! Who is #70? Good God, he must have been 35 years old and playing in the NFL at the same time.

As bad as we were in 1999, we nearly won at Alabama (who won the SEC that year) in a similar situation

2003
You could feel the hitting on the field in the stands.

LSU fans broke into the stadium and turfed the field the night before. It's likely the biggest storyline from the game.
