2000. Started ranked #3 in the country, finished 3-8, fired our coach & and found out the NCAA was about to go in dry shortly afterwards. Ironically enough, Mike DuBose's last win as Bama's head coach was a 45-7 demolition of Ole Miss in the 2nd week of October.

We outplayed you the whole game, and then blew it. I think that scoring drive was only time LSU crossed midfield.

Auburn had 316 total yards, 16 first downs, and 2 INTs. LSU had 213 total yards and 13 first down, and 0 turnovers. It was a defensive game. Hard to say you should have "crushed" a team when you aren't exactly moving the ball either. Should have won, maybe, but should have crushed, not sure I agree with that.

I would say y'alls 2003 season was the most disappointing I can think of. Top 5 preseason and finished 8-5 with a bowl win in Nashville

2010 for me. That was one of the most talented teams ever assembled at Alabama and couldn't get it done.

2011 was both the most exciting and the most depressing season ever.

Lost 7-6 to an LSU team that we should have crushed, or we would have gone 11-0 and played ND for the championship.

Last year is easily one of the most disappointing years for me. Zero expectations for better than 9-8 wins but then BAM 5-0 and leading Bama in the 3rd, then the shitting of the bed ripped my football soul out.

I am damaged goods now

'98 Tigers started out #6, lost to UGA's Quincy Carter by a score in Tiger Stadium and never looked back on the way to 5 or 6 last-second losses and a 4-7 record.

I remember before the ND game (that we lost right at the end), Kirk Herbstreit making fun of our players saying "We're the best 4-5 team in the nation!"

Who dares consider themselves worthy to ask an MSU man of disappointment?

Last year pissed me off pretty bad. We had a great defense, and playmakers all over the offense, especially at receiver. Then we started a true freshman QB who struggled with the forward pass. I hated Kiffin & Co.'s cutesy offenses, despite the numbers they put up. They were unreliable.

2001: Most of us thought we would challenge for the west and have at least 8 or 9 wins. Finished 3-8. Several reasons we had a bad year, but Jackie's over reliance on JUCOs was the biggest reason.

2014 and 2015 say hello.

2001 was pretty bad, too. we were 6-1 after beating #1 Florida and then fell apart down the stretch, including an Iron Bowl blow-out.

2012 Auburn team is bout the lowest you can get as an SEC fan. We lost to Vandy 13-17, didn't win not 1 SEC game and had Scott Loeffler as freaking OC. The team completely gave up.

2010...i thought that team would still be solid under Brantley and had 2 fast backs in Demps and Rainey. They looked like a pure shitshow and Brantley was shite. Meyer was checked out too.

Probably 2010. The most talented team Saban has had. But they couldn't put it together. Went 10-3.

2000 was shocking, but Mike Dubose was a weak coach. And looking back, should have saw it coming.
