Shame it only goes back to 1996. Wish it went back into the '60s.

You are completely wrong and it's not meant as a troll tread whatsoever.

When I think of college coaches that were affected the most by missed field goals, two coaches come to mind: Bobby Bowden and Nick Saban.

I'm old enough to remember Ali-Frazier being on closed circuit broadcast in arenas and movie theaters.

OMG, THIS! THIS! THIS!
It's like Teflon Dan can get no blame. He choked in big games AT EVERY LEVEL, even in high school.
He had a great team around him at Pitt and he choked against Florida State throwing THREE interceptions and then in 1981, he threw FOUR interceptions against Penn State. Hard to win when your QB is a turnover machine.
Check out Marino's stats in his post-season losses. Stats don't lie:
'83 playoff team vs Seattle 2 Ints 77.6 QBR
'84 SB vs SF 2 ints 66.9 QBR
'85 vs NE at home 2 ints 54.9 QBR
'90 vs Buffalo 2 ints 72.1 QBR
'92 vs Buffalo at home 2 ints 56.5 QBR
The only playoff loss he played well
'94 vs SD 0 ints 109.8 QBR
1995 vs Buffalo 3 ints 63.4 QBR
1997 vs NE 2 ints 29.3 QBR!
1998 vs Denv 2 ints 65.5 QBR
1999 vs Jax 2 ints 34.6 QBR!
In the regular season, he was good enough to beat the '85 Bears. However, in the post-season, he couldn't beat the '85 Patriots - at home - in Miami - and was badly outplayed by the "great" Tony Eason. Zero rings at every level. Choking was in his DNA.

No defense?
Five times in his career Marino had a top 10 defense in points allowed. Three times he had a top five defense. Twice he had a defense that led the league in fewest points allowed. How'd that work out for two-turnover Danny?
No defense? He was drafted by a team that was just in the Super Bowl. Do you think David Woodley's passing got them there or was it the Killer B's defense?

So it's becoming an SEC tradition to fire your coach after beating Mississippi State?

Not a catch. Juggling it till he was out of the endzone.

Greetings everyone. There's been quite a few great teams and national championship teams that Texas has played and came up on the losing end to. Who was the best team the Longhorns have ever lost to? Will Ohio State 2025 make the list? If LSU 2019 is the overwhelming choice, who was the second best team the Longhorns ever lost to?

Greetings everyone.
What team was the best team the Longhorns have ever defeated? I would imagine many would say USC 2005 and if that's the overwhelming choice, then which team was the next best team the Longhorns have ever defeated?
Some ones that come to mind for me;
Alabama 1964
Arkansas 1969
Oklahoma 1979
Auburn 1983
Nebraska 1996.
Nebraska 1999
USC 2005
Oklahoma 2008
