2010 LSU vs. Tennessee

I left angrily thinking we had lost and didn't know we ended up winning until my dad called me half an hour later. It still felt exactly like a loss.

Wait, why? We played a great game. It went back and forth and in the end we prevailed. Nothing to feel guilty about there.

Wasn't that the AJ Greene phantom celebration call? At the end, we had to kick off from the 15 and y'all returned it to UGA territory if I remember correctly.

It was a great game, and you knew LSU was going drive and make it interesting after we took the lead late. It sucked that the refs made that call, because it made the ending less dramatic.

LSU has nothing to feel guilty about with that game. A tough one to lose, but great game.

I am never guilty of a win, but the 2012 Chick Fila Bowl where we (Clemson) beat LSU with a field goal as time expired probably fills this question.

Les Miles did a piss-poor job of managing the clock with about a minute and a half with their offense at mid field. All they had to do is run the clock and make us burn our time outs. Instead he throws three times and they go three and out and punt to us...

Then, with what we now call the famous "4th and 16" play, Tajh Boyd hits Deandre Hopkins to move the chain and we drive down and kick the field goal.

2014 LSU. I just laughed after Alabama won. LSU had that game wrapped up and in the bag. Certainly wouldn't have thought that Adam Griffith had the cajones to kick the game-tying FG.

Ole Miss 2014. I think it was the right call on the field, but there was no way to feel good about winning that game after Treadwell's injury

Ugh I don't have the energy quite yet for another uga/lsu pissing match.


For us, I don't think I've ever felt "guilty" but maybe the least excited I've been after a big game was '13 UT. We were just so, so much better than them but injuries started taking their toll and we let them get back in. We were a minute away from losing before Murray Murray'd us to tie and go into OT, and obviously then what happened in OT.

Taht was a quiet walk back to the car for sure.

If you also remember correctly, we got a phantom celebration call after our go ahead touchdown. Yall received the same gift we did. Difference was, we capitalized and you didnt

And after the go ahead TD by LSU Charles Scott got hit with a celebration penalty for going to his knees and making the sign of the cross. Difference was LSU returned the kick their gift to midfield while Georgia did not on theirs.

The LSU one was an obvious attempt at a makeup call with like 10 seconds left. Not enough time to do anything with it.

ETA: Just looked. Green's happened with 1:09 left. Scott's happened at :46 left. That's a big difference in an end of game situation.

They payed y'all back with a phantom call on Charles Scott, y'all just didn't take advantage like we did.
