The 4th and 10 abortion vs Auburn in 2005 was a really bad one. The Sugar Bowl that season vs WVU was equally bad.

UGA 1996.

We gave up a 28-7 fourth quarter lead.

Bobo led the comeback.

First OT in SEC history.

Was ECU semi-respectable like they are now?

2005 UT was one that we needed to win
2012 and 2014 Bama were sickening, moreso than 1/9

all of those are trumped by the Kentucky basketball comeback and Jamie vs Aub.

None of you can even touch the Stoerner fumble in 1998. Hogs up on #1 TN in Knoxville. Just need to run out under 2 minutes.....you know the rest.


Like hell we can't.

Iron Bowl, 1997. Bama is 4-6 and going home for Christmas. Auburn is 8-2 and going to Atlanta if they win the game and the game is in Auburn.

With :50 left in the game and the clock running, Bama has the ball 3rd and 8 on their own 35. Auburn has one timeout left. It is over. Bama has pulled one of the (maybe THE) biggest upsets in Iron Bowl history.

Just give the ball to Shaun Alexander. He either gets the first down or forces Auburn to use its last time out.

Well, that is what should have happened but Mike Dubose was walking the Bama sideline.

Bama calls a swing pass to Ed Scissom and didn't fool a damned soul. He catches it, gets immediately hit, and fumbles. Auburn recovers already in field goal range with :42 left and proceeds to win the game.

The world would have been a much better place if Bob Bockrath had pulled a Pat Hayden and told Dubose's sorry arse to not even bother getting back on the bus right then and there.

Here's the end of the game if you want to see pure choke on display.

I don't think I can watch that. A bit too much pure, concentrated, misery there for me.

Football:
1992 Peach Bowl against UNC. Up 14-0, could have easily been 28-0 if not for two holding calls and then offense and special teams collapse in the second half. Two punt blocks and also an int. return for TD. Ended up losing 21-17.

1994 against Bama. Blow 10 point lead in the last seven minutes of the game.

Basketball:
2010 SEC Tourney final against UK was a choke.
2010 regular season game against UK was a choke.

What is your team's most epic collapse?


LSU @ Auburn 1993 - literally, LSU could have kneeled every play on offense the entire fourth quarter and won that game. That was a terrible LSU team and great Auburn team; had a 28-game (I think) unbeaten streak.




1994 I think. LSU led 23-9 at the start of the 4th quarter.
Auburn's QB Patrick Nix had been knocked out and they had to go with untested freshman Dameyune Craig.
Auburn had horrible field position and couldn't move the ball at all. It was clear that LSU could run the ball 3 times and punt the rest of the game and the score would have ended up 23-9.

Enter Hallman and OC Lynn Amedee calling for pass plays, which led to 2 Jamey Howard pick 6s and another near pick 6, all in the 4th quarter.

Sickening. Hallman and Amedee should have been fired on the spot.

That wasn't a collapse. It was tight the whole game, and they won 9-7. Embarrassing, but not a collapse.
The 2003 Tulane game in the Dome was eerily similar to the Packers collapse. We were ahead 28-14 with 4 minutes left. We had dominated the game and should have been up 4 TD'S. Tulane scores with about 3:30 left to cut it to 28-21. They kick it deep and hold us to a 3 and out. They get the ball back and score with about 45 seconds left. Tied 28-28. Looks like OT. We get the ball and are looking to get in FG range. First play Justin Jenkins catches a pass and fumbles at about our own 40 with about 30 seconds left. Tulane completes a pass or two and kicks a FG to win 31-28 in regulation. Long ride back from the Big Easy that night.

These are the big ones for LSU, but I was getting pretty tired of the Chavis phenomenon. Penn St, Clemson, Notre Dame, Alabama (twice), etc.

I honestly think in close LSU games, the announcers would start brushing up on "heroic last drive" tales in the 3rd quarter, just in case...

Punt Bama punt. Bama gave up two blocked punts to auburn on our side of the 50. Had they gone for the first down and not made either Auburn could not have scored on that D no matter what. They had 3 points ,and ware lucky to have that.
Worst game I ever listened too. Got drunk on Rebel
Yell. Hurt my hand on a plywood wall in my shop. Wife would not let me listen in the house. Smart on her part...

Can't remember what year, but it was a home game against a Spurrier led Florida Gator team. Scar decided to ask our fans to wear black shirts and dubbed the impending game, "The Blackout". In true HBC fashion, the Gators went in extra, extra dry and tHBC didn't think twice about running the score up.

I very distinctly recall that at the conclusion of him completely demoralizing tGamecocks, I made the statement that if Spurrier ever coached at Carolina (at the time the odds of that ever happening were zilch) that would be the day I would no longer consider myself a fan of Carolina football.

I lied thru my fricking teeth.

2010 Sugar Bowl.

Best QB we've ever had throws a fricking INT to a god damn defensive lineman.

As far as being ahead, Stoerner..... frick you Tennessee.
