re: Biggest Embarrassment of SEC football last year?

I think evey team in the SEC has something to be embarassed about. It was a down year. Our best team lost their only game because they couldn't kick a freakin extra point. In hindsight it wasn't that big of a deal, but seriously, if LSU had that happen, I'd still shake my head about it after the season was over.

Auburn firing Tubby and season (remember darkhorse for west)

Darkhorse? We were favorites for the West

Miss. State against Ole Miss.

45-0
37 yards of offense for State

Auburn and Tennessee

Oh and LSU!

It's weird not having to put Ole Miss in there, but we actually did something right.

Did you really say "paper-view"?

I was pretty embarrassed we let LSU score 13 on us. Our defense was like a sieve. We corrected this, though, the next week against Moo State

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Its simply amazing what one good season does to a fanbase.


I would have the first 3 quarters of the Troy game as pretty embarassing, but no one outside of the few in attendance at TS saw it.

UT at UCLA

South Carolina giving the Big Ten their only bowl win.

New rule for this thread - your team has actually had to have been to the SEC championship game in order to make a comment. So, as far as the state of Mississippi goes, the only people with the right to comment are Miss St fans.

Blah, blah, blah...we got our asses whipped last year so let me put some stipulations in on a thread I didn't even start.

1. LSU's defensive line
2. Alabama in the Sugar Bowl
3. Auburn at any point in the season
4. The Clawfense and The Tony Franklin System
5. The 3-2 debacle between Auburn and Miss. State

Ahhh the Blackout. That was probably my favorite game of the year. I was at the Big Spring Jam and they had the game set up on a huge screen. Instead of going around listening to the music, about 100 of us were crowding around watching the game. I didn't sit down once from start to finish lol.

Black jerseys dont scare Nick Saban

1. Alabama losing to Utah
2. UT losing to Wyoming at home
3. UT losing to UCLA

I interpret the question as what was the biggest embarrassment for us as a conference.

Easily... when the pundits make the case about leaving the SEC out of the BCS Championship game next year, are they going to be talking about TN / Wyoming? No. They will be talking about how Utah took Alabama to the woodshed. SEC strength isn't determined by who represents the bottom of the conference, it is the leaders in a prospective sport that determines our strength.

Alabama was one of the best teams in the SEC last year and they got dominated on the national stage by a school from a non-BCS conference. Forever changing the argument of non-BCS schools in the BCS game and potentially the BCS Championship game.

What does the UT / Wyoming game mean in comparison to that? Near nothing. Was it embarrassing for UT? No doubt. Was it embarrassing for us as a conference? Not really that much.
