Biggest meltdown after a loss?

Being in Arky this week for work and listening to a lot of their talkshows, the fans are livid about the 'Meltdown on Markham' being the worst loss in the history of the school. It got me thinking.... LSU has some pretty big highs throughout history and some pretty big lows in my lifetime under the Hallman/Dinardo eras.
What was the lowest you ever felt after an LSU game? I think the worst, most beat up as a fan I've ever felt about a loss was the monday night Tennessee game following the hurricane.

The loss to Miami of Ohio in 1986. I think LSU was ranked #8 in the country. Miami of Ohio had no business winning that game. I was in shock after that game.

1/9/2012.
Worst loss in the history of LSU athletics.

1/9/12...like everyone else said....
In addition, it was Auburn 1997...we would have gone to the SEC title game had we won the game. On third and two, we decide to throw the ball when we could have iced the game with a running play. Collins was unstoppable that night and he could have gotten two yards.

Alabama-Birmingham
Like their 4th season being 1-A. They never beat anyone of note before or since...to my recall
1-9, while being disappointing, was a L to the best college had to offer. I can handle those, but losing to a freaking Bama-Bir. was much harder on my LSU fanhood.

1/9/12 is the obvious answer for multiple reasons.
But personally, the losses that pissed me off even worse were:
2006 AU
2007 KY
2004 Iowa
2005 Tenn
In that order. PreSaban losses sucked but were kind of expected.

Loss to arky in 2007. National title aspirations gone--or so we thought at the time.

1. A loss to Miss State after we beat Alabama in 1982.
2. Tulane in 1982.
3. Loss to Ole Miss in 09. (This was the worst for me.)
4. 1/9/12.
5 Oh, I forgot (how could I?) The '98 Bama game
6 '94 Auburn . I better stop.

Only going with modern era since meltdowns are much more epic now due to message boards etc.
2000: UAB Inexcusable. Just inexcusable.
2001: Ole Miss Very underrated and forgotten. People wanted Saban burned at the stake.
2002: Arkansas Not a very good team after Mauck went down but still gave away a trip to ATL. Followed up by bowl beatdown to UT made for a rough offseason. Few expected the dominance we were about to unleash in 03.
2003: Florida No real meltdown but an awful performance by a great team cost us an undefeated season and split title.
2004: Auburn, UGA, Iowa - UGA is easily the worst beatdown of modern era.
2005: UT - Epic, but more pain than anger after everything the team and our state had been through.
2006: Auburn - 100% convinced dirty refs and shitty play calling cost us another NC.
2007: Arkansas Overrated meltdown. We played a great game and came up short in 3OT. Knew OU would beat Missou and Pitt had a good shot against WVU. Meltdown was forgotten in 7 days with NCG bid.
2008: Ole Miss Low point of worst season in modern era along with 02.
2009: Ole Miss - Rantards still hanging on to this one.
2010: Tennessee - Continuation of OM 09 meltdown. Absolute peak of fire Miles hysteria.
2011: Mulligan Tide Just unfortunate that this ever even happened. Rematch was complete BS, but we were totally outprepared and outplayed. Our limited O never had a chance against that D for a second time. Should never have happened.
The 01 Ole Miss game, 09 Ole Miss game, 10 UT win, and 1/9 are all pretty close, but 1/9 takes the cake because of the stakes, and as others have said, the sheer duration of the meltdown because we didn't play again for 8 months.
This was the most painful 6550th post of all time

worst one for me was the triple overtime loss to Arkansas in 2007.

Jan 9, 2012-nothing else is even close.

After one of the UF/Spurrier beatdowns when I realized the program had become a defacto Wyoming Homecoming game that better teams would want to schedule. That sucked.

Easily the 2011 BCS NC. We had a rare, historic chance to secure an undisputed national championship and and an undefeated season, and to do it in our home state, no less. Instead, we were humilated by our archrival from the SEC West and our former head coach. We weren't even competitive. There quite literally cannot be a more devastating loss: (a) ruined national championship; (B) ruined undefeated season; (c) humiliated in our own state: (d) by our hated SEC rival; (e) helmed by our own former head coach. Nothing compares.
Arkansas 2007 is second. I was furious in the immediate aftermath. Thankfully, WVU blessed us with their incompetence.
Note that both of my worst losses had tangible national championship implications.

Easily the 58-3 loss to Florida back in the 90s.
