10 GAMES TO
FORGET
1. Auburn 7, LSU 3 – Saturday,
Sept. 16, 2007
For the second straight trip to the
Plains, LSU gets hosed by the officials when a pass interference penalty gets
waved off in the final minutes. LSU still gets a shot at the win, by JaMarcus Russell’s pass to Craig Davis comes up four yards short in the most memorable
defensive battle in recent years.
2. Washington 88, LSU 72 –
Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2006
It was a sign of things to come.
LSU’s Glen Davis got exposed by U-Dub freshman Spencer Hawes as the Huskies
embarrass the Tigers by 16 points – 88-72 – on ESPN.
3. Florida 23, LSU 10 – Saturday, Oct. 7,
2006
The eventual national Gators did
just enough that day to top the mistake-prone LSU 23-10. Two critical fumbles
and a muffed punt doomed the Tigers as LSU watched its hopes of a national title
fade away.
4. Rutgers 59, LSU 35 – Sunday, April 1,
2007
In eight trips to the Final Four by
LSU basketball teams (men and women); the Tigers/Lady Tigers are a combined 0-8.
The last loss, a Lady Tigers defeat to Rutgers,
ended a magical run for Bob Starkey and the LSU women.
5. Kentucky 16, LSU 2 – Friday, March 23,
2007
After earlier blowout losses to
Stetson, LSU fans were aware that the Paul Mainieri era at LSU would take some
time. Defending SEC champion Kentucky made it hurt though.
6. Florida 19, LSU 3 – Friday, May 11,
2007
At least they were consistent.
Tigers closed out SEC play much the way it began as Florida bombed Mainieri’s
club by 16, the worst loss of the season.
7. LSU 23, Ole Miss 20 – Saturday,
Nov. 18, 2006
Yes the Tigers won, but by the skin
of their teeth. JaMarcus Russell capped off his eighth last minute comeback
rallying the Tigers from a 20-7 deficit. But LSU shouldn’t have needed overtime
to beat this bad Ole Miss team.
8. Ole Miss 71, LSU 70 – Wednesday,
Feb. 14, 2007
There were a lot of painful losses
for John Brady’s Tigers in 2006-07, but none hurt worse than the Rebels’
last-second buzzer beater over a beleaguered Tiger team.
9. Georgia 1, LSU 0 (9) – Sunday,
May 6, 2007
A week earlier LSU beat No. 1
Tennessee in the most memorable home game in LSU Softball history. A week later,
a 1-0 loss to Georgia cost the Tigers the SEC
title.
10. Vanderbilt 51, LSU 45 – Sunday,
March 4, 2007
In Pokey Chatman’s last game as
head coach, the Lady Tigers lost the SEC Tournament championship to Vanderbilt,
a day after LSU had beaten eventual national champion Tennessee.
