What are you most painful Saban memories as a non-UA fan.

Saban is GOAT for a reason. He has hurt a lot of fanbases and their teams. As a UGA fan...
1) 2017 NC
2) 2012 SECCG
3) 2023 SECCG
4) 2021 - SECCG
5) 2008 - Funeral Game

That Vince Vaughn meme sums up how I feel about Saban perfectly.

2009. Without a doubt.

2003 UGA at LSU was a painful one. Outgained them by a lot (150ish yards, IIRC). Got inside the LSU 40 six times in the first half and scored 3 points with a bunch of missed FGs.
If Georgia had won that game, the SECCG opponent would have been Ole Miss instead of a rematch with LSU. I think Georgia would have run train on Ole Miss that year and may have played for a national title.

Funeral Game kind of tops the list for me and the 2015 game.
Those close ones were heart wrenching and the 2021 SECCG, I knew we had a mulligan and could play better than that.
Funeral game
We were preseason no. 1 and got completely slaughtered. The final score doesn't reflect the domination.
2015 game
Tried to believe the crap that we were a better team than them, favored and all. And watched us get slaughtered again in front of our own fans.
So happy that those days are gone.
Happy retirement, GOAT!

As an Auburn fan, I never truly expected to win against Saban’s team at Bama except ‘07, ‘10, and ‘13–all of which we won.
There were others where I was hopeful but not confident. ‘14 namely; that stung.
The times we came close but lost (‘09, ‘21, and ‘23) hurt initially; but when you realize we shouldn’t have even been in the game and far exceeded expectations, the sting dissipates quickly and you become proud of how your team did despite the loss.

2011 for every LSU fan

2017 NC May be as bad a beat as has ever happened in CFB given what was at stake. Certainly as bad a beat as I can remember as a UGA fan. We have lost games that were more disappointing to me but given the stakes thats about as bad as it gets.

LSU-
There are losses to Alabama that hurt, 1/9 being one of the most painful.
But it might be Christmas Day 2004.
Saban was our coach, had been talking to NFL teams and then when asked about it, he would basically insult the reporter and say "I'm the coach at LSU, I'm not interested in the NFL. Aight?"
Like your hot wife who talks to all the guys at the gym, but "isn't cheating on you".

Surprised the Hurts redemption comeback game didn’t make the list.

He was my stepdad once. He made me turn off my family guy funny moments compilation on my phone to focus on fishing… pfft… hate that guy.

Honestly, the OU-LSU Sugar Bowl for the BCS NC. Those teams were pretty evenly matched, but Saban's D made virtually no mistakes. That was a tough loss, more so than some of the CFP blowouts

The crimson jacket really works in that image, well done

From a Carolina perspective, there really aren’t any painful ones, when we lost to him in 09 he wins the natty, and in 2019 we were wallowing under the disastrous reign of Muschamp. The only other time we played him we won. This is more a critique of the infrequency that opposite sides of the conference get to play each other.

59-0

Just knowing that he had zero loyalty to LSU in the end. In all honesty, I believe the man hated LSU and our fans and used the school as nothing more than a stepping stone.
Tremendous respect for him as a coach though. The GOAT

Ironically, Lane Kiffen vs. Nick Saban, 2009. Lane's kicker was lame, or we might have overcome the 12-10 deficit.
