That 1999 year just didn't make sense to me. It was like we were losing on purpose. Four conference games that year we lost should have been wins.

28-27 loss @ Georgia
39-36 loss vs. Kentucky
17-16 loss @ Miss. State
And the game @ Alabama where Booty refused to pass to two open WRs and was sandwiched at the 1 as the clock ran out.

That entire year...just felt like something was wrong...to the point I thought there was some back action. I mean, LSU started the year Top 10. Then, we fire DiNardo (0-7 in the league and lost to Houston) and then we CLOBBER No. 20 Arkansas 35-3 in the finale to avoid what would have been the only winless SEC season in program history.

You've got '98 and '99 all mixed up. '98 was the year we started top 10, lost to GA 27-28 and it all went downhill from there. The KY and Bama games you mentioned were in '98 as well, but we beat MSU 45-6 that year

'99 we started out unranked, and then had the 7 straight SEC losses, and then got our arse kicked at home by Houston which is when they fired Dinardo. '99 was the year of the 17-16 MSU game as well.

Wasn't there a lot of racism problems on the team those couple of years?

The '98 Bama game was even worse...












...I still don't want to talk about it.
