re: Most depressing losses to you as a fan

Miami (OH) - 1986

I took a client who was an alum of Miami to that game to show him how big time football was played. He was actually magnamious - he noted how the field was wet.

Several of the Florida games during the Spurrier reign of terror.

Yeah that one was tough. We would’ve been SEC west champs (possibly sec champs) 3 years in a row if we don’t give up the last second TD in that game.

1) 1/9/12
2) 1/9/12
3) 1/9/12

2002 Arkansas- would’ve went to SECG
2007 Arkansas- I thought it cost us the BCS
2010 Arkansas- would’ve gone to Sugar Bowl
2016 Florida-would’ve gone to Sugar Bowl
2018 aTm- Sugar Bowl birth.
2004 Auburn. Would’ve gone to SECCG and potentially another Sugar Bowl.

All Bama losses but especially 1/9/12, 2012 rematch and 2014 close call.

Aside from the rematch natty game with you know who, it has to be this season's opener.


I really had some confidence going into this season and that game just made it evaporate.

Not trying to dump on anyone.


LSU had weeks to prepare for that natty game and it looked exactly like the game vs Arkansas, the game vs UGA when we didn't get a first down in the first half and then we get to the Alabama mulligan game.

The UCLA game is shades of it, albeit from a different coaching staff. You don't only have weeks to prepare for it, you had months.

1979 USC and 1-9-12

LSU losing to Tennessee in the Monday night hurricane makeup game. I lived in Tennessee and I told them, I felt the air go out of Tiger Stadium. It was like everyone realized what we had just lived through. I guess that was after Katrina.

Aside from 1/9/12

1) Arkansas 2007-was the only sports game in my life that I cried when it was over. I was also shitfaced lol. Just an unbelievably horrible loss and we thought the dream season was over.
2) Alabama 2012-TJ Yeldon screen. No need to say more.
3) Auburn 2006-this game really made me question if games are legitimately fixed by refs.
4) Tennessee 2005-Monday night game after Katrina, hottest game I've ever been to, emotionally and physically drained, blowing a 21-0 halftime lead.
5) A&M 2018-getting screwed out of the win in regulation, then watching 8 overtimes and losing, again just emotionally and physically drained after that game.

Other ones:
Ole Miss 2009-spike the ball with no time left
Auburn 2016-winning the game on the last play only to have the TD called back
Wisconsin 2016-depressing way to open a highly anticipated matchup and season
Arkansas 2002-f**k Matt Jones
Tennessee 2010-I know we won the game but the ending sequence was the most angry I think I've ever felt in my life
