craziest rivalry

Post by tampajag »

I posted this on bowlsubdivision.com but I wanted to bring it here. What are some of the craziest rivalries that you know of. It can be any sport. For me it has to be LSU/Auburn. Here's why:

1988 - The Earthquake Game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_Game
1995 - LSU wearing white at home for the first time in 15 years
1996 - the Barn fire game. the old Auburn Sports Arena, affectionately called "the Barn", burned to the ground across the street from Jordan-Hare Stadium.
1999 - The Cigar game. Tommy T and the Tigers lit stogies after beating LSU 41-7. :lol:
2001 - LSU kicks an onside kick to start the game and shut the Tigers down. I was at this game. One of the craziest atmospheres I've ever witnessed. Including LSU band members taking swings at Auburn's special teams during warmups after halftime and Michael Clayton absolutely drilling an Auburn return man (we thought he killed him).
2004 - Auburn gets a second chance at the winning extra point after an LSU personal foul.
2005 - Auburn misses 5 field goals as the War Eagles lose to LSU 20-17.
2006 - Auburn wins 7-3 on several questionable calls, which led to LSU filing a complaint with the SEC office.
2007 - Demetrius Byrd made a last-second catch in the end zone to win it for LSU, 30-24. Down one point and driving late in the game, LSU was in field goal range with the clock running and a single time out remaining. However, in one of the most discussed play calls of the 2007 season Les Miles decided to try a long pass to the end zone before a possible FG attempt.
2008 - Jarret Lee threw the game-winning TD pass to Brandon Laffell with 1:03 left to play to seal the game giving LSU a 26-21 victory and their first victory at Jordan Hare in 10 years.
2009 - LSU wins in a blowout but all the partying at Tiger stadium led to me taking many blurry pics just like this one. :lol:
