Trying to think of a more embarrassing pair of losses across CFB and MBB in a single school year for an SEC school.

Troll, troll, troll. That’s all you people do.

It’s interesting how fans of teams who miss the tournament develop this comfort to judge how teams in the tournament do largely because their team is already forgotten

It was humiliating for the SEC too.

Gonna be really hard to top Pearl and Freeze in that category.

I’ve certainly suffered from disappointment inAuburn sports teams over the last 50 years.
There have been failures.
But there have been many memorable victories as well.
The sun came up today. I wish we had beat Yale. I wish we were undefeated all time in football, but that is not realistic.
Hopefully, Coach Pearl will work to build another team that gets a ticket to the dance next year, and maybe we can advance.
At the end of the day, most sports fans experience their share of big losses, and some big wins.

Well - just doing a little bit of research...
In 2017 LSU football lost at home to Troy Univ.- then that basketball season they lost to Stephen F Austin at home
In 1999 Alabama football lost at home to Louisiana Tech - then that basketball season they lost to Samford at home

You must not do a lot of thinking
In 2007 Alabama football lost to ULM and Basketball lost to Belmont

SFA made the NCAAT, and their only non-con losses before the NCAAT were @ Mizzou and @ Ms State. That was Wade's first year and LSU made the NIT. I don't an early season loss to a team that went dancing is on the same level of the Yale loss. Also, that was Orgeron's first full season as HC.

Alabama declined an NIT bid.

Not the same. Bama still won the SEC that year.

Dude Yale was also in the tournament (obviously) You can’t call Auburns loss bad and Alabama’s good because Belmont went to the tourney. SMH.
It was also Freeze’s first year
You don’t use your brain do you

Using that same logic -
Freeze was in his.1st year as HC as well
I understand Stephen F Austin went to the NCAA tournament that year. Obviously Auburn lost to Yale in the NCAA tournament just yesterday - but is a loss to a team in the tournament worse to a mid major, later to make the tournament, team on your home floor?
Listen, I'm not trying to provide reasoning or justification behind those two Auburn losses,.
I'm just trying to provide examples of some other schools that have had similar, if not worse, losses...
AU losing both of those games (NMSU and Yale) weren't good optics wise - but it's happened before to our SEC brethren

Remember how yall said the loss at Appy State didn't matter? Losses to SFA, Belmont, and Samford are in that category.

We lost the 1985 iron bowl on a last second FG, and then lost to Louisville in the elite 8.
Granted the teams we lost to were good, but it still hurt.
In 2012, we went 3-9 in football, and we did not make the tournament.
Most teams have lost hundreds of games in both sports.
I would imagine they could find some suckage.
Upsets happen in the tournament.
They always will.
