re: Describe your worst LSU meltdown experiences

I went emotionally numb for a week after the Bama TD last year.

I cannot believe this hasn't been brought up more.

Josh Booty[ 15-38 with 4 picks]. This is with Josh Reed, Jerel Myers, Robert Royal, and Domanick Davis at his disposal. Un fricking believable.

but I wasn't near as mad as Tennessee in 2005

So many people pick this one. I don't know. Given what was going on at the time and the fact that LSU's campus was a de facto evacuation center, I consider this the most forgivable loss in the Les Miles era.

the anguish from 1/9 easily tops them all for me.

I have never felt so absolutely let down by any coach, any team, as I felt that day.
Lesser, but similar events were:
The LSU bowl loss to Penn State
Last season's loss to Alabama in regular season
The LSU bowl loss to Clemson
The futility of it all defies all known forms of logic and justice and football coaching. I have never fully recovered from 1/9/12.

I would say 96 against bama. That was the first and only year I had season tickets from my friend who went to law school there. I hate Shaun Alexander to this day.

November 15 1997 loss to Norte Dame. If we had won that game we would have probably played in the cotton or some better bowl than the independence. Broke a TV and a sattelite reciever with the help of my dad. But oh how sweet it was when we beat their asses in the independence bowl.

1998 overtime loss to ole miss. I listened on the radio. it was a depressing season. I just knew we were going to lose. spend the whole game expecting the worst. LSU came roaring back at the end to send it to overtime. I was starting to believe. When Ole miss scored in OT but LSU blocked the EP I knew the game was ours. The season had sucked but at least I would have this. we drove down to inside the 5 only to lose on a 4th down deflected pass.

I was living at a camp in the middle of nowhere at the time. I provided work and they provided free lodging. Great deal for a grad student. They would rent the place out to retreat groups but they weren't within a 1/4 mile. After the deflected pass I stormed outside screaming profanities at the top of my lungs "GD, Motherf*cking sonofabitch, F@CK!!!" or something to that affect. Anyway, about 2 minutes later some people (retreaters) come running up. They were sure that anyone saying those things in that way had to have been injured in some horrific way. After I assured them that I was neither injured nor a danger to myself they left me alone. I probably walked around alone in the woods for an hour and a half before I had calmed down enough to not want to break stuff. Many a tree limb suffered a horrible demise that miserable afternoon. definitely my worst meltdown.

09 ole miss "clock it"- I let out a "GOD FKING DAMNIT!" in front of my 6 yr old , 1 1/2 yr old twins and wife. I stayed up listening to post game calls till 1 am. left angry messages on the voice mailboxes of Miles, Alleva and Verge Ausberry. Ausberry called me back Monday afternoon. Incredibly nice guy and listened to me vent. I'll forever respect him for that. It was like a great customer service story. Much respect for him.

I generally don't melt down, but I did shatter my remote while watching UAB dismantle LSU in the NCAAs in 2005.

The worst one I've witnessed is a guy in 2004 when JaMarcus overshot a pass on 4th down against Oregon St. The N bombs flew....

Easily last years Alabama game.

I wanted to make it to the BCSCG so damn bad that year to make up for 2011.

Yeldon took the screen and ran it into the endzone. My knees went weak and i collapsed. I just laid there in the living room floor staring at an extremely random part of the wall and my mind was absolutely sucked of thoughts and emotion. It just sucked the life out of me like nothing i have ever experienced before. I fell asleep on the floor and slept there for 11 and a half hours.
