The 1993 SEC Championship game against Florida at Legion Field. It was cold, wet, and we didn't even have a quarterback that day. The "deuce" did get loose on that evening. After that game I know why the game was moved to Atlanta and it made me appreciate Jay Barker more as a quarterback.

i can't remember what year it was, but South Carolina @ Bryant Denny, Lou Holtz's last year there, we were down to a 3rd string QB (was it 2004) and we could not do ANYTHING. I mean, inept passing, running, blocking, kicking, defending...I think we turned the ball over 1,245 times that day. It's the only game in my whole life at Alabama where we left in the 4th qtr before the end of the game, but it was an absolutely MISERABLE showing. Even in the La.Monroe, La. Tech losses (I didn't go to the Memphis St. game), I didn't feel THAT dismal..

Oh lawd...I forgot about that steaming pile of a game. I wonder why? And you had to go and remind me.

Sorry, I will never forget.

auburn 2002...simply because it was painfully obvious that the team was totally unprepared due to a certain someone's letting go of the rope.

 

[We_are_Bama]

I was there and I concur wholeheartedly. That was one of the worst games not only in my experience but also in the history of Bama football. Heres my top list right off the to of my head.

1. 2010 Bama boog game-doesnt need any explanation
3. 2006 Bama boogs game
4. 2007 Bama louisiana monroe
5. 1995 Bama uthug game
6. 2000 Bama central fla game
7. 2005 Bama uthug game-5 or 6 overtimes I cant remember
8. 1999 Bama uthug game
9. 1993 Bama lspoo- just bad game all around
10. 1995 Bama ark- phantom catch called in the endzone for the hogs
11. 2003 Bama lspoo
12. 2002 Bama boogs -Franphony's mail it in no practice game
13. 2006 Bama ms state

16. 2008 Bama fla

We won that one 21-7 in Gainesville.

when Bama played Southern Miss in 2000 at Legion Field under Dumbose. So disfunctional that the team couldn't even get lined up for a kickoff.

By the time the game came on tv up here, Bama was already losing. It was one of those games that ran into another one's timeslot.

The 21-0 loss against USM in 2000 was the worst game I've been to. It would also be the worst Alabama game I've seen period. I have a hard time believing that anyone who went to this game would pick anything else.

The loss to ULM was embarassing, but IMO the game itself was not as boring or as poorly played as the game against USM at Legion Field. I kept thinking we might win the game against ULM. That thought never crossed my mind against Southern Miss.

The loss to UCF, while embarassing, was not a boring football game.

A game that was incredibly bad for one half was the game against FSU in Jacksonville. There was never a point in the first half where I thought that one of the teams might score some points and that was not because of dominating defenses.

I was not at this game but I agree if I had this would have to be the worst. Getting beat by 21 and shutout at home by S. Miss. Ouch!

2000 UCF - Horrible game, horrible season.

I totally agree. I haven't seen a lot of losses in person, but the feeling of sickness at the absolute ineptitude of our offense I'll never forget.

I can still see players running on the field not sure where they were suppose to be and turning around and running off. The coaches yelling at each other and yelling at the players. I am not sure about this but I don't think we got closer than the USM 30 yd line all night. It was the most embarrassing performance I have ever seen out of an Alabama team, no one knew what to do and apparently no one cared. That was my last game to see at Legion Field and it was the worst. The Dubose experiment hit rock bottom that night.

. I am not sure about this but I don't think we got closer than the USM 30 yd line all night.

I think Zow got us close toward the end of the game. Inside the 20 maybe. I remember getting excited thinking we might not get shutout until he threw an interception in the endzone. Of course, I was listening to it on the radio by then, it being the only Bama game that I've ever left early...win or loss.

We won that one 21-7 in Gainesville.

He had to mean 1987, when we introduced the nation to a certain little guy named Emmitt Smith.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I was not at this game but I agree if I had this would have to be the worst. Getting beat by 21 and shutout at home by S. Miss. Ouch!

It was even worse because it felt like about 121-0.

USM got their first TD on an interception off a halfback option that they ran in for seven. Then Milons fumbled a kickoff that they advanced IIRC to about the one and dove in for another TD.

It was raining, the telecast was delayed because the previous ESPN game went well into the second quarter, and both offenses looked like they were suffering from anemia.

And then we lost. It never felt like we could win.

2000 UCF - Horrible game, horrible season.

I'm going to get in trouble for this, but I have a confession to make: that day was my
31st birthday, and my wish was for us to lose that game.

Because I knew if we did it would send Dubious packing.


You're welcome.

Luckily I haven't attended too many bad ones. The worst one I can think of in person was the 2007 UGA game. It was the quietest I've ever heard BDS get in such a short time. We were so pumped from going up in OT and Stafford's first pass went for a TD, it was just deflating.

Again, I know there have been far worse, but luckily I haven't had to sit through them.

 

[BradtheImpaler]

Worst: BAMA-No. Ill in 2003. First and last BAMA game my 'Aggie wife' attended/will attend. We drove her SUV with her aTm crap on it praying it wouldn't get destroyed parked behind the strip. The game was horrible and her comment after the game was worse "I thought you told me I was gonna see how real football is played".... Guy behind us remarked "Only any idiot would call Shula ball real football." Then my wife had the audacity to comment BDS was nothing compared to Kyle Field. Hmmm... Almost as smart as her comment in monument park of Old Yankee Stadium "This place is a $%#! dump"....

Biggest regret: Passing up a ticket to this years National Title Game. A certain member on here thanked me for that one....

And ironically, I saw y'all at that Northern Illinois game. As bad as that was, mine has to be 1990 versus Penn State. 9-0. Defensively, we were pretty good, but offensively we just seemed helpless. And, it was hot as hell.

Have a tie: One a win, one a loss.

Loss - ULM. I still remember them celebrating on the sidelines. I didn't doubt Saban, but that one was tough.

Win - Duke, 2006. Even though we won, to squeak a win out against Duke, that was sad. Freshman year. It definitely put the 10 win season into perspective
