Your team's most embarrassing loss

This board is often full of puffery and braggadocio, but football can be a humbling game. Let's take some time to evaluate the missed opportunities of the 2021 SEC football season.
I'll go first.
**It is important to note, no moral victories are being claimed in this process. We lost, and that is that.***
Over recent years of Razorback football, I have come to learn what an "embarrassing loss" is. Fortunately, those days are over and we have a few new whipping boys in the west (LSU, aTm).
This year, Arkansas lost four games, but only one was truly embarrassing. Our least embarrassing loss was at Alabama. We played hard but they were the better team that day.
I also can't find much to fault losing at Ole Miss on a failed two-point conversion. It was a shootout and Pittman took a calculated risk to win at the end, and it didn't pay off.
Our only home loss was to Auburn, who is always spotted 21+ points by the refs, and we were within that margin. Should Birmingham ever decide to stop being crooked, we would've won that game easily.
But our most embarrassing loss was at Georgia. I cannot believe we couldn't take care of business against those scrubs. I could make excuses for the team, but I will not. Our team fell apart because of crowd noise, when we could've clearly won the game on the field, as our team is capable of playing two halves of football. We shot ourselves in the foot with penalties, otherwise we should've taken that game between the hedges. We missed a huge opportunity for a big road win, and could've gone 2-0 against this year's soft SEC east.
I'll go first.

I’d say the Memphis loss bu we know that was some bull from the refs so I would say LSU

Ole Miss. Losing to your in-state rival should always sting. If it doesn’t, then it’s not a rivalry.

I think losing to Aubie was our most embarrassing loss.
We are clearly better than them but had to play them after going on the road to UGA and Ole Miss.
We made Bo Nix look like a Heisman candidate.

No you couldn’t. The game was never close.

You lost 37-0.
“But penalties, injuries, etc.”
You have the mental capacity expected of an Arkansas graduate. Man, I love the taste of bacon.

Anytime we lose to Arkansas. They all feel about the same.

By result and lack of competitiveness: Clemson
By opponent: Missouri

I bet Arkansas won’t beat either one of these two schools once in the next 5 years.

I don't know about embarrassing, but kick six hurt the worst.
Prevented us from a very possible three peat.

Frickin' tenny just scored another TD on our rush D.
Embarrassing.

Tennessee.
Not due to quality of opponent, but due to the absolute butt-fricking they gave us in the first half.
