The entire 2012 season. I still think Auburn owes me some kind of refund on my season tickets for sitting through that clusterfrick.

So many to choose from. These may not be obvious to most, but they are distinct in my mind. Although I'm ever optimistic, these events caused me to completely give up hope on the then coaches/admin.

2006 Iron bowl. I felt like we had the game won and lost it due to in game coaching. Shula was soundly out coached by Tubbs. It seemed like we outplayed Auburn for most of the game and outgaked then in rushing and total yards(364-261)...but lost. That's when I called it quits on Shula.

1998 Music City Bowl - Dubose kept making excuses all week about the weather and how it was hindering our preparation. I kept thinking, this is such a losers mentality....Virginia tech is practicing under same conditions and you don't hear them making excuses. And then, of course, we get blown off the field. Despite the SEC championship the next season, I never again trusted Dubose and felt like he was in way over his head.

Future - the way many in our fanbase will react when the coach after Saban doesn't win championships at the same frequency as Saban. We may have a very successful coach winning an SEC championship and competing for a natty every 3-4 years or so with succesfful seasons in between, but our larger than I wish fringe element will whine, cry and generally embarrass themselves. In Shulas 1st year, this one guy I know was insistent that if we didn't win 10 games in 2003, the season was a failure despite Shula having no head coaching experience, coming in after spring practice due to the Price debacle and the scholarship limitations. This is an educated person (UAB...not Bama by the way) and he was pulling the old 10 wins is the minimum expectation because we da tide line. Sigh.

It's the only time I've ever wilfully decided to not watch games.

yeah that's just stupid. I mean entitled to the tee stupid.


I'd say the 2-9 Curley Hallman season. I didn't think we'd ever get LSU football back to what it could be.

Thank goodness that bum was so bad, we may have been stuck with him longer if he could have won a game that ever mattered

God damn that fricking game. I was a student at the time and my seat in the student section was right under a leak or drain from the upper deck, so the whole time I was watching Auburn whitewash us at the end of a miserable season I was having near-freezing water dumped on my head. frick that game.

Jacksonville State

Bill Curry in 1994. 1-10 with a lone win over Louisville and the summer following the season Trent DiGiuro was murdered. Pretty awful for UK Football all around.

This. I remember being in the stands for the Alabama game that year and thinking, can it get any worse?

The record was terrible, but I think the worst part about it all was being considered a title contender entering the season and watching the wheels promptly fall off. It was deflating. Considering where the program is coming from, I am thrilled with where it is at now. Those were pretty dark days. Embarassing.
