2012 Texas A&M. Lost 63-21 and we were down 42-7 at the half. Just obscene.

Worst game was 2006 Tulane. I've seen some very deflating losses in my time as a State fan/grad, but this one took the cake. The final score looked much closer than the game actually was. That was one bad loss you could pin on the coaches and the players.

1996 home opener Vs Southern Miss - Jim Donnan's first game as head coach.

Lost to Southern Miss' 3 field goals and a safety 11-7 iirc

To add salt in the wound, we played the Macarena to fire up the crowd.

Miserable day.

November 12th, 1994 USM @ LSU - the game that got Curly Hallman (mercifully) fired. Had to stay the whole game since my brother was my ride and he had to be there. (for some reason I can't recall) Absolutely brutal.

Last season 2022 Tennessee @ LSU. I bring my son to one game per year; I had a choice before the season of Tenner or Bama tickets for the same price and chose this monstrosity of an 11 am no-call no-show by LSU. (to their credit, UTenn was way better than anyone thought they'd be) My 7-year old turned to me midway through the 3rd quarter and said, "Dad, why did you bring me to a bad game?" in the completely guileless way only a child can ask. By that point, Tennessee's band was playing Rocky Top OVER Tiger Band.

Then when LSU beat Bama last season - knowing I could have brought my boy to the most exhilarating victory in Death Valley in decades, to 100% cement the purple and gold in his blood - just made "Rocky Top" play in my head that much more.

November 10, 1979 Alabama (3) @ LSU (0).

Cold, rainy, windy night in the stadium and we were in the upper deck west side freezing our tails off.

Bama came in #1 and off a national title the year before with Bear Bryant.
The Tigers passed the 50 yard line twice all night. 164 total yards offense. Steve Ensminger and David Woodley combined for 11 for 29 passing and 97 yards.

It was one of those games you had to stay the entire time just waiting for one break for the Tigers...which obviously never came. Between the weather and the game a total shite experience.

2006 UGA vs Vandy (homecoming)

Vanderbilt finished the year 4-8.

UGA started Joe Tereshinski III for the game. He was average but struggling with pressure on 3rd downs.
UGA was breaking in 18 year old Matthew Stafford in alternating series.
He did well moving the ball downfield. But he couldn't handle the tighter field in the red zone.

Unfortunately, our great field goal kicker had a hamstring injury. And our backup struggled with PATs that season (not a good combination with an 18 year old QB).
We missed a 38 yard field goal with 5 minutes remaining.
Vanderbilt drove the field and kicked the game winner with :02 left on the clock.

Texas vs. UCLA in 2010
More or less the beginning of the downfall of Mack Brown at Texas. I was a freshman at the time. Texas had been a top 10 team every week since the beginning of 2008 and most weeks in the 8 seasons prior to that. Then mediocre UCLA came in and chopped them up. I think they were ahead 13-3 at halftime despite UCLA having NEGATIVE YARDS ON OFFENSE. Rumor is Muschamp gave the OC (Greg Davis) an earfull going into the tunnel at halftime. Muschamp and the rest of the coaching staff's relationship was never the same after that, and he bolted for Florida despite being HC in waiting at Texas (don't blame him one bit; Texas was starting to become very dysfunctional by then).

However, the game given us some GREAT memes

Honorable mentions:

Mack Brown vs. a&m in 2006

Mack Brown vs. K State in 2011 (Wildcats had 120 yards total offense and won the game 17-13)

Charlie Strong vs. TCU in 2014

Tom Herman vs. Maryland in 2017

Thank GOD I missed BYU in 2014 and KU in 2021

November 1983 MSST beat us in freezing cold Tiger Stadium. Had bottle of Don Q 151 taken away at gate. (Made us pour our own liquor into a big plastic waste can.) John Bond ran roughshod over us. Remember a girl told me that night that I couldn't dance. Was crestfallen.

1982 LSU vs Tulane. LSU had just beaten Florida State and was going to the Orange Ball on New Years Day. Tulane had only won 3 games that year. This was back when, even though LSU dominated the series, it still was a rivalry. Tulane had beaten LSU the year before at the Superdome 48-7 (ugh) and LSU had a great team that was poised for revenge and domination over it's weaker rival. What LSU didn't count on was the rain that muddied up Tiger Stadium's field and the grit and determination of Reggie Reginelli from Tulane who put his team on his back and beat LSU for the 3rd time in 4 years. The score was something close like 35-31 but it should have never been anything near like that. The epitome of the trap game. Yeah, that was tough to watch.

That 1988 Florida beatdown in the monsoon was not pretty, either.
