Honestly for me, I was more exhausted than disappointed after that game. After two triple overtime shootout losses, plus the epic down to the wire wins against Florida, Auburn, and Bama, I just couldn't have been more proud of that team and amazed by the roller coaster of the season.

The writing was on the wall that our D was just out of gas and wasn't the same after the Florida game. I was terrified of McFadden and Jones going into the game, for good reason.

Plus, I wasn't conceding the NCG. I was fully confident OU was going to beat Missou (for a second time), and knew anything could happen in the Backyard Brawl. I honestly felt fairly confident that if we could get by Tennessee, I just had a feeling we'd be in The Dome with OSU.

And like someone else said about Bama in 2012, that game wasn't disappointing in the least to me. As double digit underdogs, we took the #1 team in the country to the wire.

LSU played their best game since Ark 2011, and we saw that Mett was the real deal.

Sure the ending was a bummer, but that was one of the most enjoyable games from the opening kickoff I've ever experienced.

Can't believe Ole Miss 97 isn't higher up for more people. Beating #1 Florida then choking at home to OM was sickening to me.

Florida 2003 had that similar letdown feel after the big UGA win a couple of weeks before. That legendary team completely didnt show up and that huge letdown to an average Zook team easily could have cost us the title that year.

Florida 2001 was a very rude awakening. I thought we were ready to take that next step and compete with the big boys but Ol Ball Coach and Grossman disagreed

UT 2005 really really hurt. In addition to being dehydrated from the sweltering heat and blowing a huge lead, I really just felt like the team deserved that win after everything the state had been through. I felt personally cheated by the football gods that day and kept hoping it was all a bad dream. In what world could Rick fricking Clausen deserve such a moment
