For me it’s easily 2007 LSU/Arkansas.
It got cold (for Louisiana) during the second half/overtime. McFadden single handedly kicked our arse after I spent the first half calling him McFumble after the opening kick off. The atmosphere was electric all game but I’ve never exited a quieter Tiger Stadium. We thought we lost our shot at a National Championship to a QB named Dick and a coach named Nutt.
But it was an amazing game.

2011 Saints vs Packers at Lambeau season opener on Thursday Night.
Unbelievable experience and fun time going up there with my Pops.
Saints lost 42-34.

9-6. 2011. Every single play felt like it could win/lose the game. I’ve never been to a more intense game as a fan. But I was also at 21-0, so that tempers the loss.
Not a great game, but from a pure pain perspective, i watched Peyton Manning light Bama up. If I remember correctly, 1st or 2nd play of the game was a 75ish yard TD run. Went downhill from there.
Honorable mention for pain. 2008 Sugar Bowl. Was in a suite. When I saw Saban crossing his arms in 1st quarter, I knew it was over. Started drinking hard. Don’t remember the 2nd half, but the hangover was horrible. Also, walking out of game, tripped and fell in some mud puddle not too far from dome. frick that night.

Toss up between the 2014 OT loss to Tech (featuring TWO fumbles on the one yard line) and the 2016 Tennessee game. We were in the student section right in front of Eason's bomb at the end of the 4th quarter & the stadium went absolutely nuts. My hands have never hurt so much from high fiving other fans in that moment.

#2 Arkansas lost 112 to 105 to #1 UNLV in Fayetteville. The most exciting game I've ever been to. I was 15. It was in the old Barnhill Arena and it was loud af.

2006 Florida at Tennessee. We had re hired cutcliffe as an offensive coordinator after being preseason top 10 in 2005 and finishing 5-7. Felt like things were back to like they were in the 90s. Played a good cal team opening game when they had desean Jackson and Marshawn Lynch and beat the shite out of them. We seemed good. Then Tebow as a freshman started doing his short yardage package shite and ofcourse we couldn't stop it because theyre florida and we're Tennessee. Atleast they were a national title team I guess.

Idk. Take your pick of LSU-Alabama games with Saban.
Arkansas 2007 is a good choice. Georgia-LSU 2013 was underrated. Lots of NFL talent and shootout in Athens. I was about 15 feet from the Jefferson spike against Ole Miss in 2009.
I’m semi retired living away from Louisiana but holy shite did I get to watch half the NFL play in some epic games.

2008 SEC Championship Game. Tebow. Ugh.
Had tickets to the Kick Six, but got lucky and had to sell them.

The Choke at Doak. Even though it wasn’t a loss (tie), it felt like one. Up 35-3 mid 3rd quarter, Spurrier shite the bed trying to run the ball to kill the clock. 3 and outs and the noles scored at will. Luckily Bowden didn’t have the guts to go for two at the end. They would have probably made it.
What adds to the suck was I grew up in Tally and never saw the Gators win while I was I school or afterwards. They won 10 straight in the series before I started school there

1997 LSU v Auburn. Fantastic game. Back and forth all night. The diesel ran wild for LSU but D. Craig led a final minutes scoring drive that gave Auburn the 31-28 win in TS.

I was at 2016 Tennessee as well.
I would have to say 1999 Georgia/Georgia Tech, the Jasper Sanks "fumble" game was the most painful loss I've ever witnessed. Either that or the 1981 Sugar Bowl loss to Pitt.

That road game at Georgia where Mett and Jarvis and Odell went off. Both teams had crazy good offense that game. LSU ultimately lost because we gave UGA an extra possession due to Odell fumbling a punt inside our 10.

I remember watching Tebow do his first fake dive-jump pass against LSU later that season and thinking “oh frick this guy”
