re: What game marked the low point of the 1990s

Easy answer for me. Low point was the 58 - 3 loss to Fla. in 1993. That was rock bottom. The So. Miss. loss the next year was pretty bad but at least that was the final nail in Hallman's coffin and things started getting better from there.

LSU beat a decent Miss. St. team badly, the score was actually closer than the game.
The very next week was the infamous Interception Game. The Tigers sucked bricks from that point until Curley was fired. Playing only for pride, they somehow won the last two games.

That MSU game was pretty bizarre. It wasn't on TV, so only the people in the stadium know what happened. The game was close early, but LSU got a 2 score lead because of a low kickoff that nailed a State player in the helmet. It bounced straight up and landed right in one of our player's hands. The Tigers scored on that possession and State kind of rolled over after that.
Then there was the amazing Eddie Kennison return later in the game where he ran back into the end zone with everyone in the stadium screaming "no, no, no." Then he turned the corner and a perfect wall formed. No State player ever got close to him. He must have run like 115 yards on that one.

The Curly years were miserable. At the end, it was the only time I have felt indifferent about LSU winning a football game in 50 plus years because I wanted the coach "gone".

Hallman is the only LSU coach since the formation of the SEC to have never tallied a winning record or coached in a bowl game.
Not only did Hallman never post a winning record for a season, he never had above a .500 record at any point during any season in his entire tenure.

Losses to Southern Miss and Colorado State (and you can add in the losses to Vanderbilt too) under Hallman.
These should never happen to an LSU team; that was the evidence that the program was dead.
Some of the other losses were painful, but not "bad" as such; you can't call them "low points" because they also happened when the program was good.
58-3 to Florida. Ouch, but that's what 90's Spurrier did at Florida. They scorched teams, and if they could score with 2 minutes to go and a 4 TD lead, they would. He did it to bowl teams during that stretch.
Losses to Kentucky- younger fans might not realize it, but Kentucky has always been a strange and tough game for LSU. It's just the way the series has gone. If you made a list of Kentucky's top 20 historically best wins, LSU would be on there a lot of times.
The Auburn interception game- as horrible as it was to watch that, it really was just another weird LSU-Auburn game, close on the final score. It's balanced out by the Barn Burning game, or the Earthquake Game; games that I'm sure Auburn fans find just as painful.

As bad as he was, Hallman didn't lose to Vanderbilt. That was Mike Archer in 1990, thus ushering in the Era of Curley. Hallman survived his one game with Vandy (coached by Gerry Dinardo) thanks to a fumble-causing tackle by Ricardo Washington on the goal line.

1994 against Texas A&M. LSU was down by 4 or 5 points with maybe two mins left in the game. It was 4th down and LSU was midfield. That dumb son of a bitch Curley Hallman decided to punt, A&M got the ball and ran out the clock..
Or maybe that 6 INT game vs Auburn under Hallman.

lot of the people saying this will criticize the game plan at Alabama last year, lol. You know...where LSU put the ball into the hands of its stud early and often? I swear, some of the coach wanna bees on this board would have had LSU losing by 50 because they wanted to effectively render LF7 pointless by not running him.
I've thought the same thing. Your QB is terribly inaccurate and changes the game with one bad throw, yet the fans want to keep throwing it.

I'll give you two of the three, but the Vanderbilt game was a good game and Vandy was not a bad team at that time with DiNardo as their coach. It was a B. S. offensive interference call that did us in at the end of the game.
The other two were just horrible. I knew Hallman was going to be bad after his first game at Texas A&M in 1991. It was like we had no team...and A&M while pretty good, was not THAT good. There were so many bad losses during those times. Bad BAd BAD losses. It still causes me to drink when I think about it.

Why in the hell are you pulling against LSU this year?? I halfway understand when they lost to USM, though I don't agree, but if you are pulling against them this year, then you don't deserve to be a Tiger fan!
