The absolute worst game that I've ever attended as a fan had to be the 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl between South Carolina and UCONN. Some of the lowlights from that game/experience:

1. Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. Not much else needs to be said about this dump.
2. 30/40 degree weather at kickoff. I'll always have a lasting image of the South Carolina players huddled around the heaters while UCONN players were just standing on the sideline, not bothered by the cold.
3. The stadium ran out of pizza at a bowl game sponsored by Papa John's. And this was at halftime. How does this happen??
4. My dad had bought be a sweatshirt before the game started that commemorated the bowl game. As the game was ending he made me give it away to a UCONN kid. I actually thought this was pretty funny at the time. My dad didn't want any memory of the game and was quoted as saying "This will be my last experience at a reject bowl game".
5. Not only did UCONN win 20-7, but South Carolina scored their only touchdown with 3:24 left in the game. It was even more embarrassing that UCONN fans cheered this momentous event after dominating us for 3-1/2 quarters.

What is the worst game that you have ever attended for your team?

Would be much easier and quicker to list our best games.

2012 South Carolina- Typical Richt not having his team prepared
2014 Florida- Richt's worst loss ever
2015 Alabama- Beginning of the end for Richt in a monsoon

I've been to some terrible terrible games in UGA history.

Plenty of bad ones to choose from that's for sure.

I went to the shitshow that was Troy beating Miss St back in 2001. My grandfather was a State alum so I’d go with him to 1 State game a year back then.

Tornado warnings all day and Troy housed them in the rain like 21-9. Some of the worst football I’ve ever seen played by an SEC school

ETA: dammit missed the “my team” part. Probably Iron Bowl in the sleet then back in 2000

This one was a shocker. That 2012 UGA team was loaded too.

Miami/LaTech

Insanely boring game. Never thought the "U" would be that bad.

At least it was a win! Could have been a 3-0 loss.

1. 1997 Texas A&M 51 at Oklahoma 7

The game was 10 degrees with a wind chill of 0. Miserable throughout.

2. 1997 Texas A&M 27, t.u. 16

1 hour prior to the game there was no rain. At kickoff and for about 3 hours straight it was raining so hard it was physically difficult to stand up. They had to delay the game 20 minutes the first time the cannon fired because the smoke stayed on the field that long.

3. 1999 Alamo Bowl

There was nothing enjoyable about being raped in what would be Jerry Sandusky's final game 24-0.

It's kind of misleading. The title shows one thing and the last question in the post shows another. I think both of your answers were good!

My worst experience was actually a game that we won.

I got way too hammered for the LSU - Florida game in 2015.

This is the Flordia game where LSU pulled off a fake FG for the go-ahead score in the 4th quarter. Except I was passed out for it.

We were in the stadium and I had been drinking all day for this primetime matchup. I could not hang. I left at halftime, went home and passed out in my bathroom. I woke up later that night and saw the highlights and I was more pissed than excited. I usually pace myself before big games, but I went too hard and missed an awesome game. frick me man.

The Music City Bowl vs Boston College in Richt's 1st year. When he punted with less than 2 minutes to go and down by 4. It was the second time that season that had a huge WTF clock management issue for him. AU being the other.

My cousin who lives around Huntsville went down to that game for some reason (he's an Alabama fan). He still talks about how horrible that game was.

According to my cousin, there was something to do with Dominos being the exclusive pizza sponsor of Lesion Field and not long before kick-off Papa Johns was able to get a little bit of their pizza into the stadium.
