I could probably give you 2 paragraphs on any game of the Leach Era, but just a couple of sentences on 2023-24 games.Quote:

Yeah. And how about the Orange Bowl where Tech ran over our a$$ for almost 500 yards. I was there for that debacle.Quote:

I cannot believe no one has said it but 2017 Bama. The blitz at the end was too aggressive and felt like a knife in the heart stabbed by Grantham
For me it's the '99 Bama game in Tuscaloosa........Pig Prather ran back a punt for a TD and it was called back for a "block in the back"........I've watched that video multiple times and there's no effing block in the back..........That call costs us the game.........The '91 Bama game was another one........We had those mf'ers beat.........Down 13-7 with a couple of minutes left in the game and we had the ball on the two yard line..........That POS John Sullins (Bama LB) was barking out the cadence and Michael Montgomery reacted and was flagged for a false start........Sleepy ended up throwing a pick a play or two later and we lost..........
Was a freshman in 1961 so I have lost count of the times I've left a game angry and frustrated. Thank goodness I have matured to the point that I no longer get angry or upset. Makes my remaining few years so much calmer.
Amen to this!Quote:

3 to 2 Auburn sucked all time.... but the light at the end of the tunnel was Byrne realizing Croom had to go, so some solace a little later on
Yeah and we scored 55 on OM. 42 on Arkansas. 38 on Kentucky. 35 on A&M. 56 on samford and needed everyone of them. So yea. That offenseQuote:

My eyes were buried in my hands as they scored that 2pt conversion. I knew from the moans what had happened...
I was in college for "Tech and 10"... nuff said.Quote:

Then we had our best era of the modern age while I was in school! LOL.
Did not remember that at all. Fitz/Damien Williams year?Quote:

Yea and it's because our defense gave up a ton of points in every game he mentioned except OMQuote:

Add on to that:

I really think the GT game was many players not wanting to get hurt on D impacting their NFL draft stock. GT with the blocking down at the knees. Our O was good that game, I think Dak set an orange bowl record. Our D never tried to stop the option and that dirty blocking tactic GT used.Quote:

OK who can ever forget the BYU game at home. Talk about bad officiating with the Sunbelt officials and the dirty SOBs from BYU.
after that game walking down the ramp-the 2 bama idiots with the tide box and toliet paper roll walked by us shaking them at us and roll tiding--when my Brother tried to stick the tide box up his rectum.Quote:

You completely forgot about them shooting off the cannon as if we'd made it. We were watching the game in the Junction and one of my buddies started high fiving everyone when the cannons went off and just said "WTF" when we missed it and I think he was silent for like an hour.Quote:

I was dead by the time we kicked off that Saturday. So was the team.
I remember talking to a player that Saturday night and they were just like, "Mullen wasn't even mad. It was almost like he was enjoying how much hell he was going to put them through that next week." Then I talked to Nick later on in the week because I had heard Damian had gotten some of the receivers together to throw on Sunday, basically to try and gain favor for him to keep the starting job. Said Mullen walked in on either Monday or Tuesday and said "Nick is the bleeping QB and if you don't like it the door is right there." And then started calling out some of the receivers by name who had been trying to sow dissension on the Nick vs Williams stuff. Said he crawled up Fred Ross' ass pretty good.Quote:

I have not attended a State game in awhile since I live far away, but the most frustrating one for me that I attended was South Carolina in 2011. I thought we would win at least 8 or 9 games after the 2010 season. I traveled from Pennsylvania to see that one and it was one we really blew. We should have won that game and I believe lost 14-13 or something along those lines. That game made me question Mullen more than any game during his tenure. Just watching on TV, the worst games were UK 2018 because what I knew about Moorhead showed up to be true. It was just as bad in 2019 when we lost to KState at home because when we hired Moorhead I wanted Cohen to hire Kleiman as our replacement for Mullen. The 2021 Egg Bowl was frustrating too because even though Ole Miss was the better team, it seemed as though we were not prepared. We have been so bad the last two years I wouldn't say I have been "frustrated". While in college, 3-2 was definitely the worst or Tulane 2006.
1. Tulane post-Katrina under Croom. Everyone talks about Machine, but that game was worse.
2. 08 Auburn. Final score: 3-2. Enough said.
3. 09 LSU. Y'all have covered it. Give Dixon the damn ball.
4. 09 Houston. Refs absolutely stole it, cost us a bowl game.
5. 99 Bama. Phantom holding on the Pig Prather punt return. Game completely swings on that call.
6. 18 Florida. Jughead gets embarrassed and exposed as a fraud by Mullen.
Not ranked in order of anger, just how they came to my mind.
Damn, is forgotten that one. Another one the refs absolutely stole. Beat the hell out of them in Provost the next year, though.Quote:

That game let me know Moorhead was a dumb ass but we still controlled our destiny. Plus UK was good, we were at their place, and we really only got beat by their d-end who was un-blockable.Quote:
