I beg your pardon but if we’re counting from 2000-2011 LSU-Bama games I am incorrect.

Saban won Bama games for LSU in:
2000
2001
2003
2004

Miles won Bama games in:
2005
2006
2007
2010
2011

So in conclusion, Daniel, I’m not sure what your point is. Miles actually had more wins against Bama at LSU than Saban did against Bama at LSU.

This is an easy one, Gus losing to Pruitt in Auburn last year. On top of that Tennessee hadn't won an SEC game since 2016.


Auburn should have quit football after that game.

Other team fans don't take his "take" on the game as how every UGA fan feels.....especially the strike from Tua to Smith. I hate to say it but it was a thing a beauty and far from a fluke. I will say some questionable calls were made but hell that is every game. UGA is close but we have to learn to close a game out and make those one or two plays at the end of 18 round fight. As bad as those 2 SEC championship loses and the NC game sting they were still 3 of the best games I have ever watched

2013 FSU (The first of many big lead bed shittings by Gus)

2014 Bama (Too many missed redzone opportunities. How do you lose a game you put up almost 700 yards of offense?)

2006 UGA (UGA was terrible that year. The team looked like they hadn't practiced at all that week.)

2017 LSU (See 2013 FSU)

2018 UT (Lol)

2017 UCF (First time Auburn had lost to a non P5 school since Brett Farve. Thanks again Gus!)

Auburn 2006 is the one for me. I will never get over that one.

I will never get over LSU being invited to the Sugar Bowl. Even though Auburn and LSU had the same exact record, and Auburn won the head-to-head.

2010, 2013 Iron Bowl.

Better team on both occasions. This is where I still center my argument that Saban was not a great in-game coach in the early-mid stages of his time at Alabama.

The 2015 and 2017 Nattys have made me speak otherwise.

we have someone that has 100% responsibility for deciding when and how to call fakes/trick plays and his name is not Kirby


the LSU one was dumb as hell but I'll go to my grave saying the punt fake in the SECCG was absolutely brilliant, the only thing that was wrong with is was putting fields as the protector, which was borderline retarded. THe play call itself was outstanding.

We also pulled out the fake FG against AU last year with a few minutes left while up 17 so he'll always get credit for that lol. Should've been a gimme walk-in TD too if not for Rod's overthrow.

They ended #4 in the BCS. Y'all were #9.
Wisconsin was 11-1 and #7 but they got stuck in the Capital One Bowl because of the 2 team per conference rule during the BCS.

shite happens though. We got the shite end in 99 in favor of UT. Karma returned the favor in 01 ad we got at-large in the Orange and they went to the Citrus.

On a similar note, I remember being outraged in 2001 that arkansas was invited to the cotton bowl against OU while UGA was relegated to the music city against boston college.

-UGA went 8-3 regular season, 5-3 in SEC
-Ark went 7-4 regular season, 4-4 in SEC
-UGA beat arkansas by double digits

Too many to name during the CMR regime. I'll go with:

GT in 2014. Richt's stupid-arse squib kick after we took the lead with about a minute left.

Auburn in 2013. KNOCK THE BALL DOWN, YOU STUPID BASTARDS!

agree with tech in '14, we had absolutely no business losing that game.

AU in '13, while it's easy to criticize the hail mary (which was remarkably stupid), to be honest it's a miracle we were even in that postition to begin with. We simply were not that good of a team with all the injuries and AU was a hair away from beign national champs. We were down by like 3 TDs in the 2nd half and clawed back to take the lead. It obviously sucked to end like it did but I think the "can't believe" it part could more easily apply to the fact we even had a lead at that point anyway.

That GT kick, in 2014, flabbergasted my befuddled bewilderment.

Do any Georgia fans remember 1983.


I watched that game at home as a 15-year-old kid. I remember that one of the announcers had just got it out of his mouth that someone would have to make a special teams mistake for UGA to have a chance, and then, there it was...a muffed punt. UGA then runs twice and gets a few yards...and then on third down, John Lastinger runs option right, Texas had nobody covering him, and Lastinger covers 17 yards with a sundial timing him and scores the winning TD. One of the best Bowl games I ever saw as a teenager.

They had 18 guys drafted off that team (this is in '84 alone) It was a record at the time.

And were gifted that lead too, Murray was obviously short on that 4th down where y'all took the lead. The Hail Mary was just karma correcting the universe
