Ouch, that one cuts deep for me too for reasons I don’t want to discuss.‘94 Auburn. Started the day by overthrowing a football at our tailgate and hitting a girl right in the face, who was a friend of the family and getting married in like a month. Heard about that the whole way in to BHG. Then the loss, which was suffocating in a way I’d never experienced, because we were #1 and it meant so much more by then than it ever had before. To this day, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the Swamp so quiet on the way out. Just nauseating, shocking pain. To top it all off, even knowing what I just went through, my first ever real girlfriend broke up with me on Sunday. Stayed in my room listening to Mazzy Star and Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream for like a week.
‘94 “Choke at Doak.” We blow a big lead and let the Nole$ come back and tie us. Pruett’s prevent defense in the 4th quarter gave up 4 TDs. I was there and it was the absolute worst. I recall listening to Spurrier’s post game presser on the radio driving home and a reporter asked him about the 4th quarter D. “It was a ’prevent’ and that’s exactly what it did…it prevented us from winning!” Technically it wasn’t a loss, but it felt as bad if not worse.
Though I can’t help but think if my throw had had a little more velocity on it, the damage may have been enough to postpone things
Don't forget his coconspirator Darnell Dockett.Damn Bin-Laden to hell!!!
The Falcons SuperBowl and the 91 World Series for pros.
06 Auburn I put a hole in the wall. At least it turned out good at the end of the year.
97 LSU for some reason always stung a lot as well.
