Indy Bowl? I froze my arse off at that game.
EDITED TO SAY:
But “horrible results on the field”? We won that game.
Regular season game in Baton Rouge.

Watching LSU beat Clemson in person in New Orleans.
2007 Arkansas is probably the low

All Time High:
2003 national championship.
I'm not saying it was the best team LSU's had, it very likely wasn't. But it was the first football national title I was alive to see, and that was a moment I thought I'd never live to see. Incredible feeling.
All Time Low:
the Curly Hallman years. There's really no other answer. For those children who say "Les Miles": you just have idea. You're crying about going 13-1 and losing in the National Championship game... now try to imagine multiple losing seasons in a row. Losing to VANDERBILT when they called Todd Kinchen for Offensive Pass Interference on the winning score in Tiger Stadium. Going on the road and looking good at Auburn, until Jamie Howard led Auburn's furious rally in the second half.
Les Miles spoiled a lot of people here. They bitch about how we won (not pretty enough), when his worst season was still 8 wins.

High: Beating Alabama in 2019.
Low: 1/9/12. I was a student in the early 90s, when going to the Outback Bowl seemed like an impossible goal. But that loss was utterly deflating.

High was the 2003 national championship
Low was Bama 2012, the TJ Yeldon screen pass.
For me that was the biggest gut punch loss ever.
Hard to disagreee with those.

The best and worst happen on the same day within the same game. Tiger Stadium was rocking all night long until the wheels came off…. This is one of the most memorable games of my life. On Sept. 29, 1979, Robinson's No. 1-ranked, defending national champion USC Trojans ripped the heart out of the No. 20, 11-point underdog Tigers in the final moments for a 17-12 victory in front of an overflow crowd of 78,322 at Tiger Stadium in one of the loudest, most legendary games in LSU history.

2007 natty maybe biggest high as i had the realization LSU could be very good without Saban. Even if it was a two loss title, it was like a weight was lifted.
Low is 2012 bama. Just a god awful way to lose after coming off of the obvious brutal natty loss.
Id like to add a low to any of those tweener years where we had to watch Jennings, Harris etc at QB. It just felt like Les didn’t even give a frick to recruit and develop a qb and it was maddening. We wasted so much skill position talent bc we couldn’t develop a qb.

Low was October 9, 1993 (Never forget) as bad as all of 1992 was, that game was worse.
Obviously all of 2019 was a high point. Knowing as early as the Texas game we had a good enough team to win it all and then the team doing the work was something we're unlikely to repeat (although with just a little better defense in 2023, we had an offence that could have been similarly successful).

The day I saw Ole Miss with a better ranking in USNW than LSU - that was a low. Too many highs to list.
Posted on 7/10/24 at 7:53 am to JonHarbaw
High - Winning the National title in 2003, followed closely by the unbelievable 2019 season.
Low - The 2011 championship game. I'd never been more disappointed with the outcome of a sporting event in my life.

2007 football season had some serious highs and lows
Posted on 7/10/24 at 9:08 am to JonHarbaw
High: 2019 right after Patrick Queen INT followed by CEH touchdown catch to go up by 20 at halftime.
Low: Losing to Troy the following season after removing the interim tag off Coach O.

High for me is a little different. Was the bluegrass miracle game. My dad had been working remote in Dallas while his company was getting setup there. It was the first game we got to watch after my family moved up to be with him. Cooked jambalaya for all our ethnic neighbors (Japanese, Philippino, Egyptian, black) and they were all tigers that day because they could see how excited we were.
When the ending happened our block looked like the biggest multicultural holiday was happening but nope, just a bunch of oilfield baws celebrating the good guys.
Lowest for me has to be 2018 bama game. Took my brand new wife, got on the field pregame, then watched my tigers get decimated.

High: all of the 2019 season
Low: tied - mulligan bowl and the 1998 ole Miss game. It was a god awful shitty season and I wasn’t expecting us to win. They kicked our arse for 3 quarters but we mounted an inexplicable 4th quarter comeback to score 3 touchdowns and send it into overtime. It was the first glimmer of hope all season. Then we lost in OT. They hit a 25 yard pass for a TD and we had our last attempt to tie barely batted away. To go from no hope, to excitement, back to having my guts ripped out was brutal.

As bad as 01/09/12 was, it was more frustrating than anything else. Alabama had a scheme where TM7 had to defend a bigger tight end and LSU completely failed to adjust. The offense was horrible but that was nothing new. The kick in the crotch was the T.J Yeldon screen pass the next year.
All the championships are high times, but i will posit the whole 2023 season as the ultimate high and low. An offense that was basically unstoppable and should have landed the team in the playoffs combined with a defense that could not stop anyone. Just utter frustration watching it on a weekly basis knowing the offense was going to have to get points each series or else probably looking at a loss.
