Pretty much all of t.u.'s 2010, 2013, 2014, and 2015 seasons...as well as their 1997 season.

I think in the 2008 recruiting class Bama got around 90% of the top recruits in the State of Alabama.

The entire 2012 Auburn season was a blast.

Some of my fondest memories have been watching UGA lose to UT or UF, especially when they weren't really supposed to.

There's just something about those fall saturdays, often when your team is off or you're playing some shittier opponent so there isn't a lot of stress for that weekend. You're casually watching a rival team play an SEC foe, and then getting increasingly attentive as your rival's predicament gets more and more dicey. That's the point in the afternoon I start cracking/ordering beers much faster.

That's my happy place.

I've felt that way about UGA at times since moving to Atlanta (especially before the infamous blackout game).

Not a formal rivalry but Texas A&M > Auburn was sweet after the Laquon 2014 incident


What incident? Why do Ole Miss fans get so butthurt about that? It was a freak injury and it sucked for him, but that kind of stuff happens every year without teams getting so upset. I've even seen Ole Miss fans call it a horse collar when Treadwell was brought down at the waist. I mean cmon

A better question is when did you not enjoy a rival team failing, which would be one of the worst feelings, to debase yourself by cheering for you rival, only for them to lose anyway


I pull for Alabama when they play agh and Ole Miss.

Arkansas vs. Ole Miss game last year was glorious... For Ole Miss to miss out on the SEC Title game in that fashion.

The incident of Laquon Treadwell, our star WR, breaking his leg on the 1-yard line when pretty much about to win the game against a top 5 team while being in the top 5? That one.

I've never actually enjoyed a Tennessee loss, really. The only time it would matter to me is if we beat them, in which case I would prefer them to have the best record possible at the end of the season. That's not the same as cheering for them to win, mind you. I'd have a problem with being proactive even in specific case described above.

A&M during the Fran era. The 77-0 beat down was classic.
