Curley could not speak in complete sentences. He was horrible at best. The Pigs will fly game was the only game in his tenure that is worth talking about. To show you how bad it was - I was very happy when Joe hired DiNardo. We had sunk that low.

Hallman literally made things worse than if there had been no head coach at all - just OC and DC - or even let the QB, RBs and WRs draw up plays in the huddle - THAT would have been better.

I sat through the entire game. I swore to myself that I would be a fan when we were that bad and eventually when we were good again. I was in school 90-95. Great basketball and baseball...
I met with Coach Hallman once when friends of mine from the football team pushed me to try to punt because the punting was so poor...he was not a particularly smart man and it took me one practice to see how poor all of the coaching was at that time. It was embarrassing.

Living through this as a Tiger fan must have seemed liked a surreal nightmare.
Yes...yes it was. Especially since we were co-champs of the SEC my Freshman year in 1988...only to sink to all time lows for the next 6-7 years! Yep...it was excruciating.

That was awful, but I hurt more from the reaming we took from Rex Grossman at home in 2001. People tend to forget that because LSU ended up getting into the SECCG at 5-3 in the SECW and face TENN instead of UF...but we got SMOKED in that game.
Not to point it out, but there were a few times under Nick where we got absolutely blasted...
Nobody forgets, they just understand for the most part. Florida was just a better team at that point in the season, had a more talented roster, and were a more established program than us. And they were ranked #1 for the first few games of that season. We were in year two of a rebuilding project, our time was almost here.

Was at this game.
Drunkards in front of me were a real hoot. Back then no one got pissed about LSU to the extent they do now.
"Put in Sol Graves!"

I sat on the west side 40 yard line till the game ended, walked to the field and tried to encourage players along with the other 200 fans that stayed. It was the most grueling, hard to watch game ever. I told my son, that we should stay to support the team till the end. I kept thinking......one day....
Then in 2004 for the 2003 NC, I had my son next to me in the Superdome when LSU defeated Okla for its first NC since 1958. I thought of my Dad and that 1993 game.

I watched that game at a Chelsea Street Pub in the Victoria, Texas mall.
People there thought I was crazy.
I'll never forget the tiger player running around Alabama's field with the huge LSU flag after the game ended.

I sat in the student section for this one as a sophomore at LSU. This game is the game of all that came to my mind as we punted to OU and watched the seconds tick off the clock to win our 2nd National Title in 2003.
There were numerous embarassments (losing to Colorado State, USM, getting our arse kicked by Auburn and Arkansas, etc.) But this game was just absolutely horrific.
That's why I tell current students to this day how spoiled they are when it comes to LSU football. A bad year for us now is 7-5. In those days, it was 3-8, 4-7. In fact, the feeling of football back then pretty much matches the feeling of basketball today.

And to think; I didn't love the Tigers any less the next day.
The reason some of us more aged LSU fans get frustrated with the current wave of "anything less than perfection is unacceptable" crowd is because we cheered the Tigers on days like this all too often and it only made us HATE the old classless whining visor, not those that fought for us.
For example: Curley Hallman might have been the least successful head coach in school history but he was still one of us. No need to talk about defecating on him and such.
Being the worst coach in LSU history is still a greater achievement than most of us will ever accomplish because it means he was AN LSU HEAD COACH!
I never want to relive those days but you bleed purple in gold thru thick and thin or you don't bleed purple and gold at all.
Thanks Curley for teaching me how to endure hard times and for how to appreciate the view from the top once we got there.
Oh, and Thanks to the three guys that followed him for getting us back to the top and keeping us there.
Geaux Tigers!

In the 58-3 game, didn't UF score like 28 points in a 3-4 minute time span? Or maybe that was a DiNardo fiasco later on. FWIW, we simply shouldn't have lost the 2001 game so badly. Hell, we should've won the thing. St. Nick's planning for that game was absolutely fricking awful.

I was probably 6 or 7 when this game was played, and I remember asking my mom when she got back from the game why we got beat so bad. Her response: "Because their coach is an arse hole".
