Which was the worst hangover experience for you as an LSU fan?
It still has to be 2008 football for me, even considering this year. “Losing” Perilloux was a major blow to what should’ve been a great LSU team with a ton of talent, ended up absolutely wasted by a pair of absolutely pitiful QB’s who, in their defense, were never ready to play as freshmen and it doomed their entire career here.
I denied but still realized pretty early in SEC play this team just didn’t have it (answered a lot of questions that rose from terrible midweek losses), and everything post A&M has been upsetting but not unexpected.
2020 football was the culmination of a shite year all together but there were a few satisfying wins sprinkled in at least..
Too young to remember 2001 baseball but all things considered we seemed to have fielded a pretty good team.
All in all it’s a pretty good problem to have, but still a ton of frustration.

Probably this cause of how good we were said to be before the season and now missing the post season altogether. Honestly we could’ve lost every single game in 2020 and it wouldn’t have bothered me. That just how good that 2019 season was.

One terrible season won’t hurt the prestige. Just can’t be stringing those together

2008 without Perilloux was tough. The schedule wasn't that bad having UGA, Bama, and Ole Miss at home. We took Bama to OT with Lee at QB. We won at Auburn but got blown out by Florida. The defense struggled but the offense turned the ball over a lot. Would have loved to have seen what we could have done with Perilloux at QB.

I give 2020 a mulligan. We didn’t have the non conference games to pad the record, didn’t even play the SEC teams we were supposed to, having to play 10 SEC games with some of our best players opting out (like Chase), plus getting the QB hurt and having to play true freshman. We would have been in the 8-4 range with the original schedule I think- not great of course but better than 5-5.

I like giving 2020 a mulligan for all the stuff you said plus Covid and Ed Os interest primarily focused on pussy.

And the fact that LSU lost over 90% of the team and majority of the coaching staff after the 2019 season. I’ve never seen a team gutted like that both player and coaching wise. No team could recover from the mass exodus LSU endured after the 2019 season.

I mean, I'm not sure it is all that close, although I understand your reasons for all of them.
2020 was a huge let down, for sure, but COVID sort of negated that in the memory.
But, 2008 - the first real sign of what was to come with Les - to take a 4 score beating at Florida as a #4 team was just a bitter pill to swallow. And no real bounce back or fight compared to the 2007 team (with a lot of the same personnel). 2 TDs to UGA in Tiger Stadium. Got up for Bama (but that was not THE Bama yet, only Saban's first great Bama team) and still lost. The team effectively quit after that - at least until the Bowl game.
