re: Perspective: What was more painful Kick Six or Monday night's game?

I was in person at the Kick Six, CamBack, Ohio State loss and Monday night.

From a pure gut-wrenching emotional standpoint, the two Auburn losses were the worst, especially the Kick Six. Both the Clemson game and the Ohio State game I walked out feeling like we lost to an equal or better team that made plays. Both those Auburn games I felt like we dicked around and gave the games away. That's probably because of the rivalry tinting the way you look at things, but that's part of where the pain came from.

Losing Monday sucked because of the implications of it, but Clemson just made plays and beat us. I can honestly say by the next Monday driving home I was pretty close to over it. I didn't get past thinking about the Kick 6 on a daily basis for at least a couple of months. It was pretty awful. The CamBack sucked because we were in the weird role of preventing somebody else from getting something, but our season was already over. It was weird, and in hindsight even weirder, as we haven't had a single game like that since then in which we were the spoiler.

The funny thing is without the Kick Six we still almost undoubtedly lose the Iron Bowl because our kicker was mind fricked, but still, that's not the way your mind works.
