[HebertTommy]

Troy 05'- Field Goal, Overtime, Homecoming. Yeah, booooooooyyyyyyy

I also remember the 1976 game against Arkansas State and the game against San Jose State with Jeff Garcia at quarterback and we had Orlando Thomas at safety.

After reading 1 & 2, I have proceeded to start drinking heavily lol. WKU has been the only game I've ever walked out early on. The best game I've seen was K-State, and the most enjoyable game was FIU for homecoming in '08 when Fenroy reached 1000 yards for the 4th straight season. Plus I think its the only HC game we've won in my 4 years at UL (sigh).

_ Just now seeing this thread, so I'll throw my .02 in late.

1. McNeese in 2007
2. WKU for HC in 2010
3. North Alabama in 1997....nuff said there.
4. MT for HC in 2006 when coming back home with a 4-2 record and a HUGE road win @ Houston and @ FAU on Nat'l TV.
5. Houston in 2003 when the rain started right as the band was beginning the Nat'l Anthem and they never made it to the end it was raining so hard.
6. 1997-2000

How'd I do???? _

I am rather fond of the 2002 UAB game.

That game told me there was no way Baldwin left Bustle with a bad team. Unfortunately he left him with a bad program.

Damn, did I start at the wrong end of the list again? I did that last week too when during my annual review my boss asked me my overall strengths.

I know this thread was all about reminiscing... but the best game every played at Cajun Field needs to be in our immediate future... a bunch of times over. I hope everyone agrees... we haven't had enough "best games ever played at Cajun Field".

I agree, but there have been some very enjoyable ones over the years. Another one that comes to mind is the game vs. Colorado State when Brian Mitchell passed for over 200 yards and ran for over 200 yards. I think that was the first time a QB had done that in NCAA history. Great game!

Many a great game involved one Brian Mitchell. Great athlete, great student, great person. I'm sure he doesn't mind... but every great UL football prospect should be told the Brian Mitchell story. If that doesn't make them see themselves in a Ragin Cajuns jersey... nothing will.

Couldn't agree with ya more. I mean I jokingly came up with 5 ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE games in seconds. I would struggle to come up with 5 great games during the same time span.

_ It was the aTm game for me. I brought some A&M fans I worked with and there just wasn't ever an atmosphere at Cajun Field like the one at the end of that game. The funny thing is... and I am not one to be easily impressed by momentary events... I seriously thought there was no way we weren't going to launch football full throttle and throw everything we had into it. Our top dog felt like it was a pinnacle and just decided to keep it that way.

Great post and fully agree, been to many games both Louisiana and SEC games in Mississippi and Kentucky, nothing compared to that aTm game. Yet.
