that's an excellent list. you have a lot of LSU stuff crammed in your memory bank. can't argue yet I may rearrange a couple though maybe not. its obvious you don't drink enough.
I'd like to think winning both National Championships in football ought to be up there. I'm sure most of you know that the TAF site has a chronological listing of "great moments" with video. If you haven't seen them its worth a look.
you forgot to include giving up a 30+ point lead to Kentucky in the second half and don't forget jamie howard and his steller game against auburn
The greatest moment in LSU sports had to be when they announced that Nick Saban would be LSU's new football coach... I didnt like the guy, but he turned things around for this university... its nice to be great in baseball, track, etc... but you arent on the national map until you are a football power.
Why ruin a great feel good thread about the best moments in Tigah history by adding the worst? Heck, I do everything I can to forget the worse ones.

An excellent list of both the good and the bad. I agree with all of them - but let me add my own personal top sports memories. 1.) When my buddies and I swiped the cap off the head of an Ole Miss cheerleader after the '76 game (they also snatched a Rebel flag out of the hands of some little kid, but I am not proud of that). Both relics are still in existence. 2.) When Dale Brown referred to the "S" on the newly designed LSU basketball uniforms as looking like a "piece of snot." 3.) Seeing a stupored-out LSU basketball player (who shall remain nameless - and no one here would remember him anyway) perched on a stool at "Chuck's" (across the river in Addis) yelling to a girl across the room, "Loreeeeen! You got a nice assssss!" 4.) Three LSU victories over Tulane in the late 50's & early 60's by the score of 62-0. 5.) Observing the late Greg Cook stepping out of a VW beetle at 1:00 in the morning, wreathed in smoke like a genie coming out of a bottle, wearing heart-shaped sunglasses, at a fried chicken place on Nicholls Drive.
"Blanton game-winner ag. ND in Superdome" that was against #2 Georgetown in front of the biggest actual crowd to ever watch a game at the time, also was on national tv on cbs. just clarifying that it was bigger than just a game against notre dame. we did play notre dame the next year when shaq came.
That was Paul Carey's grand slam. But good memory to recall that Toi Cook was a member of that Stunford team.
