Here is mine.

Alabama 2009. The blown call on PP7's interception even when video evidence showed he drug his feet and grass and dirt came up. I completely lost my shite. Started throwing things everywhere. Luckily about 20 of us were outside watching.

I threw my beer, opened another one and threw it, threw a chair, a table, hell I can't remember what else. At that point I knew the SEC officials were ALL IN for Bama. The helmet spear on JJ that was a no call that took him out of the game and then that.

Ole Miss game was bad, Tennessee game was bad. Was in the dome on 1-9 in a suite with some clients so I had to harness most of the frustration in that night.

This. I ripped off my shirt and threw it down in disgust thinking we had just lost.

1/9 made me mature as a fan and realize our expectations under Les Miles. 10-2 is a good year. 11-1 or better is great and 9-3 is meh and 8-4 is a disappointment. But every year we are in every game and have a chance for a natty. I'm looking forward to playoffs next year since a lot of our teams play their best at the end and don't get a chance to prove it due to a hard fought loss or two.

The good thing is I still enjoy the hell out of a good win and look forward to watching LSU tear through the schedule this year.

I don't erupt into a murderous rage like some of the other posts in this thread, but I do have a favorite moment in a loss that stands out.

Arkansas 2008. I was staying with some friends in a log cabin in Telluride, Co. I was the only LSU fan of the group, so the cabin was empty that day. I sat in a huge log cabin alone and watched Jefferson deliver one of his signature crapshows. After it was over I went out to the downstairs porch, got into the hottub and drank burbon while I stared out at the snow storms swirling through the rocky mountains in the distance. It was beautiful

The ride home from Baton Rouge to Houston after the 2007 Arkansas game. I probably never felt so let down in my life after that shoot out of a game.

I have had numerous over the years. Two stand out for me. The Jamie Howard interception game.(frick Curly and Joe fricking Dean) and the loss to Tulane after the beatdown of pretty damn good FSU team.

I was upset about Tennessee 2010 until I saw that YouTube video from the Tennessee fan. I now laugh every time I think about that game.

1/9 was too much of a slow burn for me to melt down over. I had gone though the 5 stages of grief before the game was over.

Arkansas 2007 was probably the worst, given the way it ended and that it appeared to cost us a NC appearance.

Tennessee 2010 and Ole Miss were bad but the stakes were nowhere near as high as Ark 2007

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but 2010 Tennessee certainly comes to mind.

I thought the stadium was going to collapse. Drinks were flying and all you heard we're expletives and just utter shock and disgust. Then 10 minutes later, everyone is cheering.

Edit: 2005 Tennessee was also terrible. Besides the team meltdown, I was literally melting in that stadium.

For me it has to be the the game against Tennessee in 05. Emotionally after going through "K" and the whole life turned upside down, that event created a sense of normalcy (even though it was a hot and humid Monday night). And being up like that at half, it was finally going to be that night where we all were smiling and enjoying the moment. After the game it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. The ride back that night was probably one of quietest ride we've ever had. Everyone was steaming mad.

We had a party for the national championship. I was sick of ignorant comments (lots of Texas fans there bc it was in the Houston area).

I watched the second half upstairs and didn't come back down. Fell asleep watching recaps...

Closest thing to a meltdown.

Describe your worst LSU meltdown experiences


It could be a family member, a friend, at a bar, or even yourself. What was the worst meltdown over LSU football that you have ever witnessed? (Has to be IRL, tigerdroppings doesn't count)


I remember after the Auburn game in 1998, my Dad went into a rage about how bad the defense was. I was basically making the "a win is a win" argument, telling him we were still undefeated and everything would be fine. He was right on the money.

1994 Auburn...pretty much everyone associated with LSU went absolutely batshit crazy, and for good reason.

2009 Ole Miss...ditto Auburn '94.

LSU FL tie in 89 – in my Jim beam induced rage I tore up a bathroom at tiger satdium (I think the statute of limitations has passed and I am in another country now …) How LSU let them back in the game oh ya and Jamie F’n Howard too – I think I was just on Busch that game so I didn’t tear anything up

arkansas 02.

they go down the field in 3 plays. vs saban.

that was for the right to go to ATL.

miles would've been fired. instead, it seems to be a game no one remembers. but i do. also those AU games when the refs were involved. i tend to fly off handle more when refs dictate the outcome of a game rather than the players/coaches.


UF in 03 as well. i threw an empty crown bottle across our tailgate. that was notable bc i'm not prone to burts of anger like that.

in the miles era it was arkansas 07. not a meltdown but stunned devastation. 1/9 was more like watching yourself get raped. i was more sad than angry. well i don't know i guess rape victims get angry too.
