re: Describe your worst LSU meltdown experiences

2010 North Carolina in ATL.
I drank entirely too much and when we almost lost it at the end, I decided Miles was the worst coach ever. Leaving the Georgia Dome I was yelling to fire Les Miles, and telling people if you know someone high up at LSU to try to get a push to fire him, even if you didn't know somebody directly, someone you know might know somebody. In my drunken stupor I was trying to start a "grass roots" campaign to get him fired. UNC fans were all around me and yelling back at me "you guys won, what are you bitching about?"
My friends still frick with me about that meltdown, really my only public meltdown.
Since that game I have gone back and forth from the pro to anti miles camps, and back again. Currently I am 55% anti miles.

Hey, I've improved. I was at Ole Miss 09, 1/9/12, Bama 12, and the Clemson Peach Bowl. I was actually the voice of sanguine reason amongst my crowd at those events.

2012 Bama - I was furious over what I perceived to be the Tigers being outcoached in a game I felt LSU should have won. I was really vocal about it and got in one argument walking down the ramp. Also had a lot of "amens" from the congregation. In retrospect, I feel bad about this meltdown because I don't think the coaching decisions were all THAT bad and the team was otherwise really prepared to play.
2010 (?) TN game - I was at home for this one but could be heard in BR. Threw things but broke nothing. Kept screaming suggested personnel decisions to be acted upon by the AD ... if you know what I mean. I really don't feel bad about this meltdown. What a cluster that game was.
1999 Houston - Stood up in the largely empty South end zone stands and preached to whoever would listen why Dinardo had to go given the disgraceful state of the program. Was told by a guy walking out that that he watched through binoculars. One guy even handed me a coke when my voice cracked. I went on at quite some length.

I think it was '92 or '93 when LSU lost to Duke with Hurley hurt. I was at Patterson High School, and our Civics teacher was this big Duke fan. The day after, he wrote on the chalk board "If LSU can't beat Duke without Bobby Hurley, they never will."
It was a rather annoyed class that day.
Ike Hilliard was in that class now that I think of it. I think that message was directed mainly towards him.

After all my friends left my house on 1/9/12, it started raining. I went outside to pick-up my grill stuff, and just did not like the effing attitude that stupid POS grill took with me, so I kicked the living shite out of it right there in the pouring down rain. I had been uncharacteristically calm up to that point, but I think the rage was just building & building while I still had guests at my house. It was a little cheap-arse grill that I was about to replace anyway, so it wasn't that regrettable. It was somewhat cathartic, and, at that point in time, completely justified.

times i've left the stadium melting hard:
2005 Tennessee
2007 Arkansas
2008 Georgia
times i've left the stadium ready to hit somebody:
2009 Ole Miss
2012 Alabama
**i don't count late 90s and early '00s rants from my student years. i was mostly just drunk then, but i'm sure that i got pissed a few times. getting our asses kicked by bama 0-31 at home didn't sit well for sure.

LOL. I was there. It appeared it was going to be an LSU blowout during the first half, so I went ahead and got good and proper drunk. An acquaintance had a skybox for the game and invited me up for the second half. Before I got there, my friend (poster on this site, in fact) and I decided to run sprints around the spacious concourse of the luxury level. No idea why. We arrived wasted, sweaty, and panting, with beers in our hands. The owner of the box -- also drunk -- strode up to us in a huff, snatched the beers away, and then decreed that anyone in his box was going to drink hard alcohol, not watered down beer. He demanded that we all chug vodka from the bottle and box, which resulted in several broken chairs and would have ended in general disaster had not his wife intervened.
Suddenly, the game was close. Everyone was angry. I was befuddled. Wasn't this a blowout?
But we won amidst jeers and threats of desertion.
Later, I was hanging out with the blood sister of one of my wife's sorority sisters and -- for reasons lost to history -- decided to take her purse along with one (just one) of her shoes and sprint through an downtown Atlanta boulevard with them. I thought it was funny, she thought it was funny, but the three chivalrous LSU fans watching from across the street who believed I was an actual purse snatcher did not find it funny, yielding yet more fun.
Ah, good times. I love LSU football games.

Posted by The312 Arkansas 2007. I had to work while my wife flew to Louisiana and attended the game. I watched in the eerie quiet of an abandoned condo building nestled in a usually boisterous neighborhood all but deserted for the holiday. I sensed disaster from the opening quarter, when we failed to capitialize on numerous opportunities to build a lead. The afternoon shadows lengthened, the day grew dimmer, the iron dome of the northern winter sky descended. The fall witching hour that I always associate with tense CBS day games. Disaster crept closer. First overtime. Second overtime. Third overtime. Flynn intercepted. Death Valley still and quiet as the leafless black-barked trees outside. I reflexively turned and smashed a coffee table into tiny splinters, more growling than yelling. To calm myself, I took a walk around the block wearing my LSU T-shirt and boxer shorts in the frigid weather. When my wife returned, she didn't even mention the missing coffee table, knew instantaneously what had occurred. I'm better now.
Wow. That is way too eloquent for the Rant.

1/9/12 I was just shocked. Biggest meltdown was 2009 Ole Miss. I think I make up some new curse words after that one.

Exactly.
Other meltdowns to note:
Arkansas in '07 the girl I brought to the game lost her shite more than I did, I had to keep her from fighting the Pig fan next to us.
My dad at the Kentucky Blue Grass Miracle as told to me by my mom. He was so Pissed he left the game early, and then he took a swing at a Kentucky fan who innocently was congratulating him on the Tigers win while walking to the car in the parking lot. He was so embarrassed once he found out the results of the game, that he did not speak to my mom the entire flight back to BR, and he never told me he left the game. Not until my parents got divorced years latter did my mom tell me what really happened that day. My dad still has not spoken about that game to me.

1/9/12 was just pure despair and disbelief.
Loss to Clemson. I was so pissed. To be honest, I'm still not over it.
Two words: Homecoming and UAB.

Tennessee 2010, Ole Miss 20009, and 1/9/12 rank up there.
But the most angry I got was last year losing to Bama the way LSU did. It was a culmination of the past few years and all the terrible mistakes, horrible offense, and very questionable coaching. People like to blame the D for finally caving in the last minute. I like to actually think the previous 59 minutes mattered and the 4 trick plays, time out before half, and pussy play calling in the 4th made this one really tough.
That, and I knew ESPiN and tard Bama fans would be labeling their team a dynasty. In reality, LSU should be 2 in a row.
ETA: I should add the Ref game of 2006 and this recent loss to Clemson. More of the same from a certain grass chewer!

Rommell come on man, take that shite back. Saw him at beach in Destin and he is a really good guy. He was never meant to be starter and did the best he could.
It was not an indictment of the man. I mean, come on, he threw something like 18 interceptions in the 4th. 18!

Hmmm....Auburn 1994 always comes to mind, but I wasn't near as mad as Tennessee in 2005!
