Favorite Eagle Flight?

[aufan@una 3]

What was everybodies favorite pre-game eagle flight?  Mine has to have been for the '04 LSU game. I don't know for sure which eagle it was that flew that day but it seemed to just be toying with the crowd. It appeared to start down only to pull up for another lap... Great start to a great game

Right when i saw the name of this thread I thought of that game....I was in the student section and i swear it flew 10 feet above my head, it pumped up the student section like never be4

'06 LSU game.  Seemed like the eagle took about 7 different laps around the stadium, and was mega close to the student section.

Our tailgate area raises a lot of money for the southeastern Raptor center, so we get to meet and talk to the handlers quite often. Mr Crow explained to us that on that day, the eagle was about to land at mid field where Marianne was waiting when the eagle spotted Mr. Crow in the crowd under the goal post in the crowd (eagles have great eye sight you know).  That's when the eagle went back up and soared over the student section. Mr Crow saw what was happening and stepped back into the tunnel where he wouldn't been seen.  After satisfying her curiosity the eagle landed at midfield.  If you have never gone, the Raptor Center has a show on Fri before every home game and occasionally on Sat morning.  They are very interesting and you learn a lot of info.  BTW, that was my favorite also.

Thanks for the info tigerbill.  I think Mr. Crow needs to do be spotted more often cause everytime i think about that flight it gives me chills.

Out of every home game this year, it was LaTech. It flew for about 3 minutes and actually left the stadium at one point... All time? i'm not sure about that one.

I personally enjoyed the flight against La-Tech at the beginning of the 2009 season... It was awesome... the eagle flew for almost 1 whole minute...

Gotta be the '09 La Tech game. He flew forever that day

I would have to say the 04 LSU game.  That was BY FAR the best one that I've ever seen. 

With that being said, this year's La Tech game when the eagle flew through the goal posts was amazing.
