re: First/Most Heartbreaking LSU Loss

Arkansas 2002

Auburn 2004

Florida and Auburn 2006

LSU could've won the West 7 years in a row if those games weren't pissed away.

Most heartbreaking:

October 9, 1993 (never forget) - Florida 58, LSU 3

No heroes - only villains and 1 clueless "coach" (or Bama double agent - still not sure). The reason so heartbreaking: We couldn't even pretend we were a competitive program any more. We didn't give up 58 combined points during any season from 1958 through 1962, inclusive. We'd given up 55 points to Mississippi State in 1980 (in Jackson), but we scored 31.

58 points...in our own house....only scoring 3 in a less than tepid response. We were in the middle of a bad period, no question, and the team would go on to save Curley's job for one more year by beating Bama a couple of weeks later - but 58-3 - we didn't even beat Cal State-Fullerton that badly.

That meant we were CSF. I would not recover from the funk until Gerry brought back the magic.

The 2007 Arkansas game. Thought our chance for a national championship was completely gone.

This one. I was crushed. My buddy who is a Florida called me to rub it in literally the second the game ended. I went off of course. When we ended up winning the championship he never heard the end of it.

2012 BCSNCG....I was just disgusted and pissed off more than anything. Because on the third play of the game when JJ dropped the snap, I knew where we were headed if he wasn't replaced immediately. When he came out for the second series, I was sick and knew what the result would be. When he came out after halftime, I turned the game off.

For me personally:

First:
(1) Ole Miss 26 LSU 23 - 11/1/69
Cost us a shot at #1 Texas in the Cotton and a possible 11-0 season. 1 wk after my 1st LSU game.

Most Heartbreaking:

Nuff said. I was there. It sucked.

mine was aub at aub with JR

the Extra point game

Tennessee game after Hurricane Rita. Stuck inside all weekend, gameday moved to Monday, drank all day, hot as balls, halftime lead, and the the clunker of a second half. Then, having to walk all the way across campus to my car while thinking, "shite. I have to go to class tomorrow."

1) 2005 Tennessee
2) 2004 at Auburn
3) 2004 Capital One Bowl vs. Iowa

Those 3 are really tied for first and nothing comes close to them in my mind. 1/9/12 should not have happened so it does not really count to me.

1998 Alabama.

This was the 1st time I remember piped in DJ music that wasn't tigerband stuff, so that makes the game extra special. "eye of the Tiger by survivor".

Also LSU had a LEAD going into "the sun has set and now it's saturday night in death valley" 4th quarter.

So combine first time DJ piped in music plus having a lead when the sun went down making it nighttime, makes 1998 Alabama in the discussion for the worst

Auburn and Arkansas both in 2002.
