...during the day?

I'm trying to find some inspiration to believe
that LSU can do the world outside of T-town a favor and beat Bama in a couple of weeks.

It really took the wind out of my sails when I found out the game is at 2:30pm

To quote Dandy Don "In my Opinion", Tiger Stadium is a huge weapon at night. It's very difficult to win there facing a loud, drunk, obnoxious and rowdy crowd of LSU fans. Big advantage, if you ask me.

So, in the interest of staying positive, what famous wins have come at Tiger Stadium during the day? Can the crowd get fired up enough to propel the Tigers over Bama when the sun's still hanging over Baton Rouge?

UGA in 2003. The rest are either not big, or big ones we dropped to my recollection, to be honest....

Many games are at night until recently, so UGA 2003 is at the top...

Going back to my graduate school days - LSU beat #14 Auburn qbed by eventual Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan in a 1969 day game. One of the best ever day games in TS.

In my life, I can only remember 03 uga as a big day win. 2000 Bama was a day game (broke the streak)

But was that really a huge win? or was SC very overrated?

Last year's SC was by far the most overrated Gamecock team in the history of their program.

Wasn't Bama 01 a day game where Ro and Reed set some records?

That was in Tuscaloosa. However, LSU did snap their home losing streak to Bama the year before during the day on CBS...despite the fact preseason #3 Bama finished 3-8.

The only time LSU has beaten a #1 team at Tiger Stadim is in 97 against UF. Pretty sure that was a day game. May have statred day/ended night.

Beat a decent Arkansas in TS in a day game in 1995. They came in ranked #14 and had already clinched the SEC West title. Final score 28-0.
