That AU game was sweet revenge for the 2014 game. I actually turned that one off at half-time and drank until I passed out

Meh, maybe if we weren't a 3 win team. If that had derailed some great season we were having or even if were kind of decent Id be more pissed. But our worst team of the century losing to the Citadel? Meh.



I agree with the old man here. That loss to The Citadel was an all time low. It was embarrassing.

At first I thought, WTF?

Then after a second, all I could do was laugh. Touché, you bastard.

Wouldn't it be the SECG loss? Win that and all the other losses are forgotten.


For me it was FSU or Michigan. We were in the FSU game and should have been leading in the 4th quarter. The defense finally gave out after carrying us the whole season. Michigan game we didn't even show up. Pathetic.

Bama, was the better team and we couldn't get anything going on offense (shocker) so a 14 point loss wasn't that bad to me.

It's the worst way to lose when you beat yourself.

Disagree, the Tech loss was more demoralizing imo


Indeed. The Toledo loss was the classic WTF game. We dominated the stats and still found a way to lose.

Texas Tech, on the other hand, put our pathetic pass defense in front of everyone in great big neon letters. It was by far the worst loss we had because every team that had some idea about the forward pass rang us up.

I disagree about UF or UT. It was Bama. I fully expected something like the 2012 SECCG. After that game I abandoned any hope of CMR winning it all and didn't think we had the guts to fire him

2014 BCSNCG forme. I went to the game so it was pretty depressing. I can honestly tell people I've been to the Rose a Bowl & to tell others good luck & safe travels.

for us, UGA was the worst loss.

Richt just waited for us to screw up and on Gus to not give the rock to Jovon.

It was sad.

That was bad...we faced a no-Chubb, no QB bad UGA team...and managed to be just a little bit worse than them.

It's still Arkansas for me though...I rewatched that game (I suppose I'm a glutton for punishment) and counted 11 drops...at least half of which by #5. I have never seen that many drops by an Auburn team ever. And we still took it to 4OT...then lost. The only thing we could count on was Peyton Barber..so of course in 4OT, we throw 4 consecutive incomplete passes...all of which were at least somewhat catchable.

This is one reason why I'm more bullish than most on 2016. We got horrible WR play last year...it couldn't possibly get any worse and with 6 highly touted newcomers(I'm including Darius Slayton and Ryan Davis), we'll have lots of options if the older guys aren't producing. Ricardo Louis and Melvin Ray couldn't catch a cold last year...not sure that Tony Stevens was much better and I'm not sure why he is penciled in as a starter...I suppose because there are erasers.

Gotta go with the FSU loss too. Defense was amazing, holding Dalvin Cook to something like 30 rushing yards by the start of the 4th quarter. Treon's offense couldn't move the ball or eat up the clock. Eventually the Florida defense just ran out of gas and gave up.

LSU -- 11/14 loss to Arkansas 31-14



Disagree. That was totally expected and had apparently no impact on LSU's state of mind. We looked like shite that week, just like we did the week before and the week after and the week after that. That one didn't change anything. The one that demoralized our team last year was Alabama, as usual.


Only LSU fans could spin a night game in Death Valley as a game you supposedly had no chance in.

All LSU fans could talk about after the Bama loss was that you were still in the top 10, still only had one loss, and just needed Bama to trip up once and you were in the SECCG if you won out.

Then you got blowed out by Bert.

Losing to Memphis was the worst...I completely stopped caring about the season after that game.

Nope. UF UF UF, 28-27 28-27 28-27. If we don't give up 4th&14 we win the east even with the other 3 L's.

After that OU

Oh, I agree with you after taking a closer look. I probably would have changed SCs too, and maybe some other ones.

In case it wasn't obvious, I only halfway wanted a real discussion. I was just trolling Bama.

Arkansas didn't even force one single goddamn punt against Texas Tech.
That's pretty bad.

Agree. The entire tenor of the season changed from optimism to "here we go again" in one half of football.

I felt the Auburn loss to LSU was the worst. That game was such a shite show. The Arkansas loss was tough, but after so many over times I was just numb....or drunk. Yeah, I was just drunk.

I don't know what board you were on that week, but it sure as hell wasn't Tiger Rant.

I can understand Bama's loss to Ole Miss being devastating but they went on to win the NC so I wouldn't say it was demoralizing.


Which of their other losses would you pick instead?
