It wasn't a cheap shot you imbecile

It was a moronic brain dead dipshidiot offensive coordinator you don't run a keeper speed option against a d-line of Alabama's caliber.

Greg Davis didn't just suck he fricking sucked the only time he had an offense was when he could call Vince drop back and kick arse and any mongoloid on the planet could have done that.

Oh gosh... the list for Auburn is long.

2013 FSU loss is most gut-wrenching loss in AU history but my daughter was 3 weeks old so I missed it. Pretty sure I've been in attendance at a the other most gut-wrenching games if the past 40 years. I'd rank them:

Loss to Bama 2023
Loss to Bama 2021
Loss to Bama 2025
Loss to A&M 2014
Loss to LSU 2007
Loss to Georgia 2002
Loss to Bama 1996
Loss to LSU 2005
Loss to LSU 2018
Loss to Georgia 2025
Loss to Bama 2014
Loss to Florida 2002
Loss to Penn St 2022

9-6.

Dad had just passed away unexpectedly a month prior.

Me and my homie drove down to Tuscaloosa, from Johnson City TN, with 2 tickets we got for free.

We said F it and slept in the car in the Walmart parking lot

The Game of the Century! was the next day. We lucked out and got the opportunity to film the crowd and GameDay set from the walk of champions statues, right behind the bushes.

It was so gat damn amazing.... aaaaaaaaaand....

5 hours later I saw a big Bama baw punch this weird guido LSU baw in the kisser at a gas station. So many people were watching.

It was an awful 8 hour drive back, because I was detoxing from painkillers...

1990, maybe? Had never been to an AU game that we lost before. It was rainy and about 15 degrees. We are playing USM and go up late 12-0. Some random QB named Favre leads a comeback and beats AU 13-12.

Your 2022 loss to us was pure coaching. The Nits couldn't stop your run game in the 2nd half and unbelievably, your OC decided to stop running...to this day it's still a headscratcher...

2014: my son’s junior year of high school football. Lost a divisional playoff game on the road that was tilted by the officials engaging in home-cooking. Really believe that team was destined for a shot at the state title, otherwise.

Yes, officials do influence outcomes, even at the Dadgum high school level, hahaha…

This is the easiest "what was your..." question of all time for me.

FFD - (Five F - ing Downs). It's not even close. It still pisses me off.

(the Mizzou - South Carolina double overtime game in 2013 was also gut wrenching - missing a field goal in OT2. Ultimately this one had a lot more impact as we would have been unbeaten in the regular season if not for that - but it was early enough in the season that wasn't really on the radar.)

I was there for that one. It was in 1992. I was in Haley Center taking the LSAT for the first half and could hear the crowd cheering, and then headed over to the stadium when I was done. Our offense was horrid that day, and that set the tone for the rest of the year.

Worse AU loss for me that I saw in person was 1991 Georgia at home. 19 seconds ran off the clock while AU was at the one yard line because we had no timeouts and all the Georgia players piled up on our running back claiming he fumbled and the refs had to pull the pile apart. He didn't, but the time ran out. Ugh...

2013 @ Tennessee. Marquez North with a wild 39-yard catch to put Tennessee into FG range on a 3rd and 10. Lead to a field goal a few minutes later as time expired to give Tennessee a 23-21 win. Cost SC the East that year.

We had no business beating you. That UT team was awful. Real head scratcher. We repaid the favor in 2022.

It truly defies logic how these games work out sometimes.

Since you didn’t specify football I’ll have to go with LSU Bball blowing a 31 or 33 point halftime lead against UK in the early 90’s. We could have literally ran the shot clock down to 5 and only shot 10% in the second half and won.

UK has to be the Bluegrass Miracle or the Laettner shot. Probably that one since more at stake.

Arky has to be the dropped pop up to win a Natty.

I was there. Never been dog cussed that much in my life. Most hostile environment I’ve ever been in. It was like Ole Miss’ entire existence hinged on that game.
