This, This right here. I was never more sure that we would win a game then I was about this one, and we blew it.


It took a few more years, but a paradigm shift took place for me. I went from knowing we'd win at least 10 of our games every year, to just hoping we would, and then knowing we wouldn't.

Well given that I would say no single game killed UT's program.

That happens sometimes, in fact it is more common for it to happen that way- a program slowly descends into nothingness.

Program-killing losses are much rarer and for that reason they make people take notice. For example I can't point to a game that killed what Nebraska's program was (MAYBE that Colorado game MAYBE), but I can point to the 2007 Appalachian State vs. Michigan football game and say "what Michigan's football program was died that day."

See the difference?
