Hands down the 2013 game versus FSU. I still can't watch the repeat.

2010 Iron Bowl. When Ingram fumbled that ball about to score an easy TD and put Bama up 31-0, I just knew that was a bad omen.

The Kick Six was awful but the 2010 was was way way worse. The most angry I've ever been after a game was that 2010 IB. I was in a bad mood until Bama played Michigan State in the bowl and won like 49-10 over Kirk Cousins.

Had a 3 foot long dump after 3 days in Mexico without being able to pass a BM. I cried and cried and cried. Then when I saw that python sticking up out of the water I had to show everyone and leave it for the house cleaner!

If anyone here is in Atlanta, u know what's it's like. Grown men are crying. I've heard several sports radio hosts break down. They even had a therapist on the radio today talking to people. It's very quiet. People are still very depressed. We'll never get over this. I can't speak for sports collapses in other cites, but what's happening here is pretty unprecedented for Atlanta.

After losing to BAMA in the sec championship, yea it sucked. But we're used to UGA falling short in big games. This was only the 2nd super bowl for the falcons. The hurt is real my friends.

USC--Navy loss in 1984. I was playing golf at Pinehurst, but had a radio.

Georgia--two '81 loss to Clemson--I was on the field--and 2002 to Florida. I will always believe Richt's pulling David Greene cost the Dawgs the national championship.

680. 92.9'is definitely a little bit more upbeat, but they have to be since they're the official station of the falcons

Since we've decided to include pro sports.

This was it for me, 1985 Game 6.



I was 8, and I'm not gonna lie, I threw a tantrum after that game.

fricking Denkinger. That guys an a-hole.

So bad in fact, that one night I found myself at a bar drinking with Jim Joyce, and he got a little emotional about his missed call in the Perfect Game That Wasn't, and I consoled him with, "Well, at least your name isn't Don Denkinger".

He bought me Johnny Walker Blue.

You might be surprised, but mine was vs. S. Carolina in 1994 and coming up on the wrong side of an 18-17 score. This game was a week after the infamous Jamie Howard interception game.

Homecoming game and the weather was terrible. The Tigers led 14-6 in the first half but Howard was afraid to throw the ball in the 2nd half and the Cocks came strutting back. When he finally threw the ball it was a leaping interception near the end of the game by Cousins.

1-9-12.... really January 2012 was the worst all around with possibly the best saints team ever blowing it in San Fran, still stings badly.


I was probably the reason as I attended both of those games. Was the last saints game I have attended

The enormity of that 2006 Alabama loss to Miss St. I was in a sports bar and actually saw a grown man, a Bama fan, cry in his beer!

'13 BCSNCG
'16 UGA (frick our offensive "guru". Not a single first fricking wn in a half)
atm and BAMA '12....actually, that entire season

ETA: I almost forgot the '97 SECCG Even though it was a close game, it was the first time I could understand the importance of the game since I was like 13. IIRC AU blew a pretty sizeable lead. fricking Peyton...ugh

Ugh, I was about 3 rows back in the end zone of the student section for that one. So it happened maybe <20 yds from me and I remember seeing myself on a slow mo replay on Sportcenter later that night. The look of disgust on my face was priceless

Texas in '11 for sure. Haven't heard much about it since though since they generally avoid talking about football now.

I sat in the student section that night with my roommate. Probably the lowest energy I've seen the student section first hand.
