Most bandwagon fan thread ever. There is no way that anyone who remember the blow outs of the 90's would say that 1/9/12 was the worst. I remember being a child and hoping that we just score. A lot of bandwaggoners in here.

For me it has to be the Miles Boner Championship. Nothing else is close. Not even the losses to Tulane in the early 80s. Worst prep job for a big game that I can recall. So much for his rep as a great coach in the post season. He has miles to go before he reaches even, IMO.

1. 1/9/2012
The weight of what was on the line makes it impossible for this not to be #1. I refuse to let it completely soil the season but it is undeniably 1.
2. 2002 Bama. Complete and utter domination. Bama trying to run the clock out to end the first half running Shaud williams draws all the way to the endzone. Shut out in tiger stadium. Friggin freezing my arse off in the stands after a long drive in. Terrible.
3. 97 vs Ole Miss. A big dose of reality that we still hadnt arrived. The utter joy of the previous week with the dissapointment the next. This was the difference between Dinardo and Saban. Saban brought the discipline and focus to where we beat UGA one week and then didnt have a let down to State.
4. 2001 Florida. 44-15. Terrible. Despite winning the SEC that year we werent ready. I remember the student section taking one of the UF extra points to the top of the north endzone and throwing it over.
5. 97 Notre Dame. I dont think they had a penalty called on them all game. Got revenge in the Indy Bowl and was damn happy about it. My how times have changed


These were just some games that stuck out in my head. UAB was bad but honestly coming off 98 and 99 it didnt hurt so much anymore all was forgiven when we beat Tennessee the next week. These I just remember leaving Tiger stadium feeling punched in the gut. UGA 98 Arky 07 would be up there as well

Our oline was getting murdered and JJ was running for his life ALL game and you want to put in a less mobile guy whom has a history of throwing the ball up for grabs? Yeah me too! Really. Try something. Because that god damn option wasn't working.

4. LSU loss w Josh Booty at QB against Troy State (I think) - at home again! What a terrible game by our starting all-conference to-be QB. Saban never did pull him and Davey was waiting in the wings. WTF? Sound familiar? Good news on this one is I think we ended up in Georgia Dome for bowl game against Ga. Tech. Davey got his chance in 2nd half and was brilliant!



you lost your cred with this

The worst loss for me ,at the time, was Arky 2007. We had lucked our way back to #1 and Flynn played like shite and we had them stopped on 4th and ten and they got it and Flynn threw an interception to end the game. It was the closest I've ever come to having actual tears and the only time a game stuck with me longer than the weekend. I would've been fine with firing Miles after that game. We were so much better and more talented than Arky.

1. Number 1 all-time has to the Vandy loss (at Vandy) when Kinchen caught the winning TD and then ruled illegal push-off. Not even the TENN loss (then victory) could top this emotional roller-coaster IMO.
This game wont make a lot of lists, but it's the only LSU game that got me mad enough to punch a hole in the wall. Still remember Hawthorne calling a TD on that last play, then reversing himself several times, making it even more maddening!

3 Saban-coached games lead the way -

UAB - 2000 (like that song, "Still the One")

Alabama - 2002 (just nothing positive about the game in any way).

Iowa - 2004

THEN

Florida - 1993 (Worst coach in LSU history, for a reason, had his worst day of coaching against the best team he ever faced)

Finally,

1/9/2012 - nothing left to say

1. 2012 BCS game. We weren't even competetive.
2. 94 Auburn. Throw LSU throw!
3. 96 Bama. At least the team hd their uniforms on.
4. 05 UT. Miles still hasn't recovered from this game in many ways.
5. 09 Ole Miss. Miles shows the world he doesn't have the clock management skills of someone who has played Madden more than twice.

Hard to leave off 06 and 04 Auburn games.

Almost all of these came when LSU was good. There are many worse losses when LSU was crap.
