1/9/12 obviously. But at the time, LSU losing to Arkansas in 2007 was terrible. I thought I had just watched Darren McFadden singlehandedly derail LSU's chances for a NC after seemingly getting a free pass for the Kentucky loss.

Heartbreaker for sure, but I'd have to go with 02' World Cup quarterfinals vs. Germany. We were on a hell of a run and completely outplayed them the entire match. Kahn was unbeatable except on the corner when Berhalter beat him only to have the man on the post blatantly handle the ball to prevent the goal. The US will always be screwed in the World Cup and that might have been worst of all. Going back to 94' we have been denied at least 1 perfectly legal goal in EVERY tournament. Again, Kahn was incredible, especially on the save of Donovan's incredible run and perfectly curled shot that was heading into the corner until Kahn got a fingertip on it. But, of course we gave up the set piece goal and the rest is history. Even though we would have played Korea in the semifinals (who got every call possible to get there) I believe we beat them and play Brazil in the finals. Unfortunately, probably the closest we'll come to winning the cup in my lifetime.

All of my worst moments are LSU football related because that's what I care about the most. Some of those games are Arkansas 2002, Auburn 2006, and the BCSCG. Losses bother me less and less as I get older, but those stick out.

Beyond that, the Lakers getting buttfricked by the Celtics in game 6 of the 08 Finals was pretty melt-worthy

The Tyus Edney drive vs MU in Boise was gut wrenching also.

Why the hell did Norm not have someone foul him I will still never know. It makes it worse when you watch it and they show one of the Haley twins laying on the floor looking like he is practicing a tornado drill. Also Johnson on the UCLA bench trying to look like a terrorist with his towel thing he had going.

UCLA got their payback the next year when Princeton backdoored Toby Bailey all game and got him on the final shot.

well other than the obvious 1/9/12 id go with the single wild card game that the Braves lost in 2012? to the cardinals with that awful in field fly rule call by the ump.

2013 NFCCG would be mine if not for the 2012 SEC Championship a month before. Both sucked because besides the Braves in 95 my teams have perpetually choked deep in the playoffs and both had a chance to silent a lot of that. SECCG definitely cause I care a good bit more for UGA and the way it ended was even more of a heartbreak.
