2) Tennessee '05

never had such a serious funk last for about 48 hours after a game as this one.

Auburn 06, yes.

Auburn 04, no. We violated a rule that was in place at the time. My recollection is that Saban was in support of this rule.

Arky 02 hurt. Auburn 04. Those two were pretty bad.

Arky 07 hurt like a mother frickin dagger, but it turned out alright.

I am Not including Arkansas '07 b/c we came thru with NC anyway

being able to look back on it now and knowing that it all worked out makes the arkansas loss in 2007 seem not so bad, but that night and the week after was without a doubt the worst i have ever felt after a loss. i literally laid on the floor in silence for about an hour while trying to control the urge to smash a hole in my tv. thank god for that wvu choke job. i don't know if i would have survived bowl season with ohio state and wvu playing for a national title.

Alabama 1998 hurt pretty bad too. We had had so many close calls that year, and it finally looked like we would beat Bama at home... nope.
