All we had to do to get to some minor bowl in Miami was beat Arkansas in the final game at home. And of course, Arkansas ran for about 1000 yards and beat LSU 42-24.


My first LSU game..we lost and it was cold

Rumor has it that Curley was in NOLA getting drunk the night before that game



There is an old book called Saturday Afternoon Madness.

One of the schools they visited was LSU in the Curley days.

Pretty sure they talked about the day before the Southern Miss game they were in Jones Creek Oyster bar and were surprised when a bunch of LSU coaches came in to eat and do some heavy drinking.

I was there and it was horrible. We also lost to Colorado State around the same time which was also a huge embarrassment.

This needs to be deleted every time it comes up on this site, it's rediculous. I will never understand our own fan base giving everyone in the country this ammunition to shoot us down with. Just giving it to them, here ya go now shoot us down. I guess some people really want to see bad!!! Keep this up and we will see it. Just shut the frick up!




WTF?


Shut the hell up.

that Arkansas game

I was at that game. Arkansas kept running for TDs of 50, 60, 65 yards on trap dives. It was brutal.

If you think a national championship game loss is when LSU football hit rock bottom, then you weren't a fan during Denardo and before.

Miami of Ohio, 1986
Miami, 1988
Colorado State, 1992
Florida, 1993
Alabama, 1994
Southern Miss, 1994
UAB, 2000

Here is a list of seven humiliating home losses in modern LSU football history. What do they all have in common. (Hint: it's not the head coach. 4 different coaches are involved.)

Hanny claims dean said he would have kept curly if he had won that game.


Dean tried to keep Dinardo until Emmert told him to go sit in the corner and shut up.

Oh no 1/9/12 is nowhere close to how low our football team got between Mike Archer and Curley Hallman. That is not even in the same galaxy of low


1/9/12 was the most dominated an LSU team has been and on the biggest stage with so much on the line. The talent level during the Archer days made it possible for LSU to be blown out. This was a team that LSU had beat a few months before.

Emotionally, it was rock bottom. I don't think the team/ program has rebounded yet from that loss.

Auburn waxing us 41-7 was pretty bad. Recently it's been so hit or miss

There is not a single point in the last 16 years where we hit rock bottom.

Everybody points to the Alabama game as a cataclysmic event, but in context it is what it is -

We had played in 2 NC games before that and won, and won something like 7 baseball NC games - the idea of losing a national championship game wasn't really considered a possibility. Our fans weren't prepared for it. But playing for it and losing wasn't nearly as bad as playing in front of 54K and losing to an out of conference team or 10 straight years of losing seasons.
