Bama should have won that gsme by 21 plus.


When I was watching the 2010 Iron Bowl, something I noticed about BAMA’s defense in the first half: they were abusing Auburn’s offense, and celebrating like crazy after every good play. I told my dad, “Alabama is going to wear themselves out celebrating like that.”

1998 LSU was loaded with talent. Could be the best team with a losing season of all time???

There are too many to name in the Freeze era. I'd probably say Memphis in 15. It's the only one I feel we had no business losing yet we were blown out.

The 1994 SEC Championship Game. Alabama came into the game undefeated and ranked third in the country behind only Penn State and Nebraska. If Alabama wins they play Nebraska in the Orange Bowl for a chance to win at least a share of the national title. Alabama goes up 22-17 late. Stallings opts to kick the extra point rather than go for two. Florida scores in the final minutes and makes the extra point to take the lead. Alabama loses 24-23.

1985 Florida 17-10 (UT's only loss that season)

2001 SEC CG...I was in Wales and couldn't find the game anywhere. I found out about it on my flight back the next day, so I still haven't watched it.

Nobody is beating Nebraska that year. It would have been a blowout. We were good that year but we had a lot of flaws too

1994 Nebraska < 1995 Nebraska. Miami had them dead to rights in the 4th quarter of the Orange Bowl before Tommie Frazier engineered the mother of all comebacks.

Of recent, 2016 loss at Missouri was inexplicable and insane beyond measure.

The 2019 Final Four loss to the Virginia "double dribble" Cavaliers. That game pains me every bit as much (if not more than) as the BCSCG vs FSU.

2013 Iron Bowl. We had multiple opportunities to put the seal on that game in the 4th, and just couldn't do it. Credit to AU's defense for being better than our offense on important plays in the red zone.

2018 CFP National Championship game.

After Georgia had gone up 20-7 on the long TD to Hardeman and Baker picked off Tua in the third, I hoped it was tits from there on. Then Fromm got happy feet and bounced a ball off a guard's head right straight into the Alabama defensive line and that was all she wrote. Honorable mention for the 2018 SECC game when once again, piss poor effort from Fromm/a UGA TE on a play in the third quarter cost UGA the game.

That's pretty much the legacy of UGA football in a nutshell though. About six plays in history, defined by either piss poor or extraordinary effort, separating the program from several titles. None of them any less maddening.

That holding call was totally random. But it shouldn't have come down to that.

1999 La Tech. Horribly frustrating game. Let them score twice in the fourth to win.

Game 1 of the 2009 CWS finals
Game 2 of the 2004 CWS finals
Football vs USC 2017
Football vs WVU 2018
Elite 8 2006
Both losses in the final round of the Long Beach regional in 2017 (Texas had 24 losses that year and 18 were by 1 run... ugh)

2006 controversy to Oregon

For the first (and one of very few times) I actually felt really bad for the Sooners. They had that game so blatantly stolen from them by the refs on multiple plays in the last 5 minutes

We should have won that game. We would have ended the season 8-4 and would go to a better bowl game. But Bert does what he does best and lose in the fourth quarter. That game and Virginia Tech loss after getting up at exactly the same score 24-7 was the beginning of the end. After that I have up my season tickets after being a holder for so many years. Then Jeff Long got on Twitter and started explaining a bunch of excuses. I was done until Arkansas took football more seriously. They sure as hell didn't do it with the Chad Morris hire. Hopefully with Pittman that will change.

2012 Bama game almost killed me.

Hurt more than 2011 to me for some reason. Probably because the environment was psychotic.
