re: Spin off thread: What’s the worst game you’ve ever seen at Tiger Stadium?

I was there for this game. I can definitely remember games in the stadium being far more miserable from a weather/environmental standpoint but this game takes the cake simply due to the opponent. That was an absolutely miserable experience that's historically bad.

That 1988 44-3 shellacking by Miami in the pouring rain is my go-to.

I was at that game, stayed till the bitter end

No doubt the 88 Miami game. Had a customers with me from Miami. They wanted to stay through the entire game. The stadium stair steps looked like water falls.

Even Josh Booty couldn't save us that night. Tommy Banks dropped a TD that ended up being intercepted off the tip in the end zone. Comedy of errors all night. Capped off by receivers running the wrong route on a beautifully designed play by Booty.

2003 Florida was a bummer.

2005 Tennessee. I've never been more distraught/sick leaving a game. I know USC and Texas started out year ranked 1,2. But, if we hang on to a 21 point half time lead and don't let Rick freaking Clausen dink and dunk us to death, we go into SEC championship game vs Georgia undefeated. Again, USC Texas held on to the top spots so we would have probably been the 2004 Auburn squad. Undefeated SEC champs left out of title game.

9/5/2015 vs McNeese State. Game kicked off and played about 11min of football. 3hr and 46min lightning delay before the game was ultimately cancelled. Most significant to me bc it was both my kid's first time to attend an LSU game and we'd made the trip from DFW. Stayed for the entire delay...friggin' sucked.

The 1988 Miami game. I was also there. Terrible conditions. High winds in the downpour. They allowed umbrellas in the stadium then and most got destroyed by the winds. Add to that LSU getting their butts kicked in every phase of the game.

Mine was against Georgia 1998. Quincy Carter carved up Lou Teppers defense. But to be fair to tepper, he needs at least six years to install his defense. Even wrote a book on linebackers.

1976 Rice game. Sitting in the old south stadium before the game started, the kicker was practicing extra points. The ball came right to me, went right through my arms, and hit my feet. Everyone in the end zone laughed at me and said I could play for the Saints.
