These are all the famous ones from the 80s when they actually had good teams. There’s an entire menu of “signature losses” they’ve had since the return in 99. Basically at least one very year

Well, I'd suggest that a "signature loss" would be famous, from when a team is good

It's different than regular ineptitude. It's snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

For LSU, I don't really count 1/9/12, because that game was never in doubt past the opening kickoff. Yeah, the defense played valiantly and kept the team in range, but the offense never showed any sign of life.

I would say basketball, I forget what year. Clarence Caesar was on the team. Jumped all over Kentucky, at one point going up 30 (70-40). Deafdome was absolutely nuts, all the way through. Tiger rappelled from the ceiling pregame, LSU totally blasted the Wildcats.
But the game wasn't over, despite LSU celebrating and clowning around to the fans. Kentucky had a comeback for the ages, and won.
