Other than the obvious LSU ones mentioned, I'll go with LSU Georgia in 2008. Lee threw 2 pick sixes. I don't even remember what was so embarrassing about the game now that I looked up the score again. I just remember being so angry and embarassed that I just decided to walk back to my condo in the back part of Highland by myself. It was about a 3 mile walk.

My last football game as a student at Tennessee was Vandy, led by Jay Cutler, coming to Knoxville and beating us. I have a picture of my roommates and I in the stadium after the game with the field as the backdrop. In the background, you can see Jay Cutty walking off the field with his helmet in the air.

That's the good thing about painful embarrassing losses. It brings you back to earth and gives you perspective.

When you are flying high and your team can do no wrong you live and die with each game. And that takes some joy out of it.

Instead of just enjoying it and taking it for what it is, entertainment.

1998 LSU vs Alabama, Tiger Stadium.

I was 17, in the North End Zone.

I tried throwing my cup after we scored a touchdown like the students were doing in the Northwest corner of the stadium, accept my cup wasn't Styrofoam, nor did it have a lid. The soda and ice landed all over the lady in front of me.

I felt bad. Some old security guy who was probably 70 years old told me to follow him to the concourse. I missed about three minutes of real time play. He tried to intimidate me, it was laughable.

I went back to my seat, Gate 8/9, Section 15, Row L, Seat 7 (old Tiger Stadium seating chart). I felt bad for the lady, but at the same time, don't take me away from watching LSU football. I was way more into LSU football at that age, moreso than even today. I would be shocked if anyone cared more than me.

After returning to my seat, I would go on to watch LSU blow a 16-7 lead, allowing Alabama to score 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

Worst shame I've experienced attending a sporting event.

watching A&M blow LSU out by 40 with the future #1 overall pick in the SEC bball tourney. It sucked. Did not stay for the next game.

That's correct.

We held him in check that day, compared to him torching us for 291 yards in 1996.

I hate Bama.

Kicked a trash can while leaving Vaught Hemmingway in 2014 after Ole Miss upset us, immediately felt like an idiot and regretted it.

21-0

I gave up having emotion for LSU football after that. Now when a game is over, I just get on with my life like a normal person should

this is shitty and the fact that you dont feel remorse, rather more upset that she made you miss 3 minutes of a game is pitiful.

A date I took to a football game freshman year left to "use the bathroom" and didn't come back. I figured she ditched me so I didn't check on her. Turns out she fainted from heat exhaustion and had medical attention. Felt like a jerk for that one.

Did trash spill everywhere? Did you attempt to clean it up?

This one...I beat the seat in front of me like a ten year old and left the stadium. I stopped at the field level tunnel on the way out and saw the winning TD.

Lsu losing to Tennessee on a Monday night in 2005. It was the perfect set up for them to win. I remember that night well. It started off with FEMA giving me another 3k and i Nextel the bookie (phones were out in Metairie) so he calls me from a private number. I answer, give him the bet, for 1k on LSU. After a series of Rumple Smalls in the section 216 bathroom, no way LSU loses. Rick Clausen was Joe Montana, and the rest is history. Im shameful because he was a bum qb

dont know if they still do it but in the mid 90s LSU would pick 2 students at halftime to a shooting contest- layup, free throw, 3 pointer and midcourt in like 30 seconds to win something

the number of guys who missed layup after layup, not even getting to the FT line was seemingly more than you would think
