1999 @Alabama. If we win that game we finish the season 11-1 and go to our 2nd straight SEC title game with a very good chance of winning

1984 Navy vs. South Carolina. We win that game, we go on to the national championship.

Same for me.

2nd would be 1983 vs Texas. Dye doesn't go brain dead and gives Bo 25 touches instead of 7, we are undefeated against the 3rd or 4th hardest schedule in the history of college football.

3rd would be 1987 against UF. We win that one and the earthquake game and Dye probably would have had 3 national championships. But we would have had to beat the U in the Sugar Bowl, which would have been tougher than ND in '88 by a lot.

That game haunted me more than any game ever. More than Texas '83, Arkansas '06. That game freaking sucked.

I give Dye a break that year. He deserved that NC.

Maybe the 82 Sugar Bowl vs Penn State so UGA could have another MNC but probably the 07 UT game so that we could play for the MNC.

In his book Dye calls it the second worst coaching job of his entire career. Takes full blame for costing us the game that day by trying to throw the ball the entire game with Randy Campbell out of the wishbone rather than giving it to Bo, Lionel, and Tommy.

In case you were wondering Dye says the worst coaching job of his career was the '84 IB (and not giving it to Bo on the goalline).

1969.



So I wouldn't have to hear about it constantly and be told that 75million people were there solidifying their fan status.

That's pretty interesting. Dye's a pretty stand up guy. Glad he takes credit for that.

That would be likely be 4 NCs in 5 years after this year. Good grief!
