For me, it was the 2021 game vs. Florida. LSU was 3-3 in that game coming off an embarrassing blowout vs. Kentucky. Going into that game it felt like LSU was essentially repeating the bad 2020 season and hopes for anything better had pretty much been dashed. The thought was that the end was near for Orgeron (and it was...though no one really knew that before the game). Florida had played #1 Alabama tough a few weeks earlier and was coming off a dominant win. Albeit vs. Vanderbilt. It was an 11:00 home kickoff and NO ONE was excited for the game. The people I usually go to the games with couldn't make it, so I decided to go by myself. One, because I was going to watch the game anyway. Two, it was an absolutely beautiful mid-October Saturday. I think it was something like 68 degrees at kickoff with a bright blue sky. I figure the worst case scenario is that LSU would get blown out by the 3rd quarter and I could head on home...Then LSU started to absolutely dominate Florida. The team that really couldn't run the ball to that point in the season started to crush Florida. I think LSU literally ran the same play over and over, and Florida couldn't stop it.

The most disappointing has to be the loss in 2022 at Texas A&M. Especially after beating Alabama in OT just a few weeks before.

Absolutely! Many probably forget, but LSU was ranked #5 in the playoff rankings heading into that game. They had already clinched the SEC West and with a win vs. A&M would have been playing Georgia with a playoff berth on the line. A&M on the other hand was bad. 4-7 with seemingly nothing to play for. Unfortunately, LSU had some key missed opportunities, Daniels was injured, and A&M was the first team to really figure out how to make Perkins a non-factor (and trend that continued all through last season with House never being able to adjust). A disappointing end to an otherwise surprisingly good season.
