Good original list. Tennessee 2010 is the worst but I would add an opener against a UNC team with a lot of players suspended LSU barely won.

2014 LSU pushed A&M around but barely won on the scoreboard also.

Florida 2007

I get the 5/5 fourth downs and all, but to be down 24-14 to that UF team was shite.

What are some games that, though we may have won, you absolutely hated watching? Here are some for me:

Tennessee 2010- For obvious reasons

Auburn 2012- They were hot garbage, and we probably would have lost if we didn't get a safety in the first quarter.

Louisiana Tech 2009- I try to block that game out, I'm pretty sure we were losing at halftime but finally pulled it out later

Troy 2008- The comeback was incredible, but the first three quarters were miserable. Didn't go to the game, but I listened to the whole thing on the radio.

Florida 2005- We just kept giving them the ball, pretty sure we turned it over 5 or 6 times that day.

Iowa 2014 Outback Bowl- Nothing to say here other than it was one of the most boring football games I've ever watched.


Watching LSU during the Less Miles era was very painful. I'm so happy he is gone.

NC game. I can't remember any other game where, despise the win, I was angry with the team because of how they played.

Oregon state 2004 is the most "unearned" I can remember, but it was a pretty fun game at the time.

In general I have completely lost interest in tomato can games. Win by 20, win by 40, who cares. You'll forget it entirely within a week. Who here can tell me a single thing about beating the citadel in 2002, or McNeese in 2010, without looking it up? I can't, but I was there for both.

Yes, I've never felt more like we lost after a win than that game.

I'm still pissed off that we had to live with that same level of coaching and game management for 5 more seasons.


Like 2011?

Miles-derangement syndrome seems pretty well permanent and possibly terminal. Dude coached 114 wins. 114.

Yeah Miles was great for about 7 or 8 years then failed to adapt to the changing game as time went on. it's really as simple as that.

people who didn't enjoy the mid 2000's through early 2010's are just miserable people.

Let's talk about some "pre" Miles "wins" -

Remember 2000, Mississippi State? 45-38 (OT) - that was way too fricking close, IN Tiger Stadium. Yeah, we had lost the previous year, but recall that Curley and Dinardo went a combined 7-2 against Miss. State. We only forgot about that one because we beat Bama the next week in TS - the first time since 1969. Thanks to Josh Booty.

I already mentioned the literal miracle we needed in 2002 @ Kentucky. What about 2002 Ole Miss (in TS)? We fumbled 5 times, thankfully losing only 2. We didn't dominate them, but had clear advantages in most statistical categories. Despite this, we trailed the entire game until less than 7 minutes to go. The entire Ole Miss series was that way for the coach prior to Miles - we went 4-1 against them, but the combined score was 102 - 90, less than a FG/per game.

The Troy miracle under Miles has an echo pre-Miles - the 2004 games was 24-21. We also opened against Oregon State that year and need OT to beat them - again, Oregon STATE, not Oregon, and in Tiger Stadium. We had a lot of close games that year and it burned us @ Auburn and in the bowl game.

That Oregon State was my first game at Tiger Stadium. Knew we weren't repeating after that game unfortunately. However that loss to Auburn a few weeks later is probably the most pissed off I've been after a loss aside from the 2012 and 1/9 Bama games.

Was there for the Ole Miss, Bama, and Troy home games mentioned here. It was cold as hell in the Corey Webster game. Broussard went ham against Ole Miss and Demarcus Ware was on that Troy team. Oh and then there is the other Troy comeback game which was miserable to sit through. Got a cold from sitting in that terrible weather.

Would've lost my shite at the 2010 Tenn game. Was at that bullshite UNC game. All the frustrating memories.

That win against Wisconsin was pretty frustrating at NRG even though that team was considered young.

Yeah, for me, my vote is definitely the "Dumbass Miracle" (Tenn in '10). Dooley's dozen made him the dumbest coach of the day, which was hard to imagine the way that Miles had set up things up right up to that point.
