I knew that I could not pck up AM radio in the Lincoln Tunnel and couldn't listen to the gasme walking the tweny minutes to the Port Authority (Rememeber this was 86).

and by the way speaking of 86 we named our dog Mookie 2 years later

The loss I will never forget is LSU blowing a 31 point lead to kentucky maybe 20 years ago

The greatest losses that I can think of were all in golf:

Van de velde collapse at British Open, allowing Lawrie (not sure) to win.

Norman's '96 Masters collapse, allowing Faldo to win. Had like a 5 shot lead to start the the day, finished 3rd I think.

Mickelson, only needing bogey to win U.S. Open. Hit driver on 18 and completely blew. Could have hit 3, 7-irons and scored no worse than bogey!

Last year's Masters, Perry needed only to par 1 of last 2 holes to win, but bogeyed both. Allowed Cabrera to win in playoff.

Hornets getting beat by 60 at home against the nuggets


I walked into a bar that night when the game was early in the 4th quarter. I remember that I kept blinking and staring at the score on TV wondering if something was wrong with my eyesight.

The Colorado Avalanche losing in the SEVENTH game of the Western Conference finals to a vastly inferior Dallas two years in a ROW.

The 1970's los Angeles Rams losing in the NFC Championship game THREE times.

LSU basketball losing to Indiana in the Final Four in 81 and in the Final Eight in 87. :banghead:

UF v OSU MNC.

We had an undefeated season which included beating two #2s, the Heisman winner, on like a 18 game winning streak, etc.

I'll never forget the score (41-14), but just the way that the team didn't show up and every buckeye fan thought we just had to show up and get the trophy...man it hurts.

Simply being a Saints fan is, in itself, something you have trouble getting over.

Hopefully, that will change in February...

2006 LSU-Auburn
2009 LSU-Ole Miss - I know it's new, but I don't think I can ever forget that abortion at the end of the game.

Neftali Feliz Why in the hell did you include Neftali in that trade Schuerholz? Jesus, it makes me sick to my stomach every time I hear his name.

LSU v Iowa 2005. I was in the endzone where they caught the TD pass. I felt like i got sucker punched in the stomach. I didn't leave the stadium for like 15 minutes. To this day i get a sick feeling in my stomach whenever i see that play.

I have 3.

2009 Alabama

First off, we got down right fricking shat on by the refs all game long, typical ref help of Bama's season. Secondly, that was an obviouis interception, PP damn near had 3 feet in bounds before being out. The refs saw it, knew it, saw it on the replay, and yet still overturned it on the field.

just disgusting, typical of playing at bama.


2008 Alabama

Had pretty decent seats, but was surrounded by Bama Gumps, being loud and proud because this was the first year in 20 years they didn't suck. Of course, we all know they were big favorites and we needed a perfect game to win it. It looked like we had a legit chance at the end, but still blew it.

Just having to leave the stadium at the same time as the high on life and arrogant Gumps was really hard. Took everything in me not to start a brawl, if I would have been drunk, I likely would have went to jail that night.


2007 Arkansas - Triple OT

Great season. #1, lock into SEC Championship and likely BCS Championship....a season of dreams.

I had purchased some really nice, yet expensive seats for me and this little hottie i had just started talking with. I had it all planned out. We would drink together all day, get comfortable with each other at the tailgate, go to the game just the two of us, watch LSU win big, go out and party that night, and I would finally seal the deal with her in prime fashion

Hah, a loss in Triple OT, both of us completely exhausted and heartbroken, none of our friends wanted to go out because of the loss, and things sobered up quickly.

Needless to say, Darren McFadden he, 'got that wood' and me.....no wood, no win.

There are five.

Browns vs. Raiders. Browns needed a field goal to win the playoff game at home in terrible conditions and Brian Sipe threw a fricking interception into the end zone. Browns were one of the top seeds in the playoffs.

Browns vs. Denver. Elway. The frickING DRIVE. Kept the Browns out of the Super Bowl. Enough said.

Browns vs. Denver. Ernest Byner. The frickING FUMBLE. Kept the Browns out of the Super Bowl in one of the greatest playoff comebacks ever. Enough said.

Michigan 1995. Shawn Springs. The slip.

Michigan State 1998. That Ohio State team was one of the most loaded college teams ever. How they lost to Michigan State is beyond me.
