coldest game I've ever been too...miserable night

The coldest game that I can remember is 2002 vs Alabama when we got our asses handed to us 31-0. That is hands down my worst experience in Tiger Stadium from game start to finish.

Watching the end of the 2009 Ole Miss and 2010 Tennessee games still pisses me off so badly. I'm so glad that idiot isn't our head coach anymore.

2016 Auburn: Chark scores the winning TD, gets taken off the board after time expired. Les Miles’ last game.


Couldn’t write a more fitting way for Les to go out. The clock literally ran out on him. Such an amazing play by etling and chark I might add though.

2005 at Arizona St. Displaced due to Katrina. Blocked and punt and a FG and returned for TD to score 14 unanswered after down 17-7 and then the crazy 4th and 10 bomb from Russell to Doucet that would have been overturned if they had instant replay back then

I took these pics with my long lens. I was scarred for life. Actually, I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. It seemed like the chase lasted for at least 15 minutes. Unforgettable... He was so triumphant when they ushered him off the field to wild cheers from the student section!! Could not believe my eyes!!

He had tremendous turn-of-foot.

Good list. The first two that came to mind were 2010 Tennessee and 2009 Ole Miss. Those were certainly two of the wackiest endings. ........Edit - Both of these endings can be attributed to Les Miles' clock snafus which used to drive me nuts.

IMO 2012 Bama and the god damn TJ Yeldon screen pass TD is when tDecline really began for us

1/9 could’ve been a distant memory if we win that game and go to SECCG, beat UGA, and end Notre Dame in Miami.

LSU @ Arizona St 2005 (moved after Katrina) seemed like it was wacky AF with some trickery and luck.

It was 17-7 AZ St in the 4Q and the final was 35-31

Chris Jackson fake punt throw to Prude from 5 yards deep in the end zone FIRST drive of the game

4Q blocked FG returned by Mario Stevenson for TD

4Q blocked punt and returned by Steltz for TD

40 yard DIME TD to Early Doucet with a minute left by JR rolling to his left and Doucet barely in bounds with 1 foot on 4th and 10

I haven't read the entire thread so it may have already been mentioned but to add to the list the OP provided, while it wasn't necessarily "wacky," it went like we all thought but I'd have to at least give an honorable mention to the App. State game in 2008 just because it was so early and it was insanely hot. There was no wind at all. It was like sitting in an oven for 3 hours. Either that game or the game vs. Auburn when Fournette ran over them has to be the hottest game I've ever been to.

I still like Miles, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met and I generally side with him but in that game, he totally botched it.


He's yelling to "spike it" and there wasn't enough time to do even that. He let too much time run off the clock before he started hollering at Jefferson to spike it. If I remember right, there was one second on the clock before the center hiked the ball. There wasn't enough time.
