Not sure if this is the worst ever but it deserves to be mentioned in this thread
1980 Georgia game “Run Lindsay Run.”
Since it was a new place, and replacing a legendary one, the manager probably told the door guys to let in every hot chick who showed up no matter how obviously under age they were. Hence, you weren't carded.Oh, and I proceeded to NOT get carded by the bouncer manning the door at whatever the Porpoise had become. Talk about adding insult to injury at that time. I was only 28.
The list is long but one that I have always found tough to swallow was the Notre Dame Sugar Bowl. Dan Dierdorf Dufus kept calling us Florida State ~ on purpose I am sure just to annoy me.
The day the Porpoise died should be declard a national day of mourning.The Swindle in the Swamp. It was on my birthday no less, and I treated myself to tickets to that madness. It was later that evening when I discovered the Porpoise was gone. Fuchs that day.

Three straight shots to your snapper... man, that HAD to hurt! Good music though... Siamese Dream was my "go to sleep music" in Korea that year.‘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.

I had a six CD changer on my little stereo in my room... Sep 93-Sep94 was the year of Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon, Porno for Pyros and some other stuff I'd program and hit play when I went to sleep.Same, except the Korea part. Would listen to Mayonnaise specifically on loop. Throw in some Hope and that was 1994 for me. Both, mostly MS are still staples of my relax Sunday playlists, especially after Saturdays like this weekend. I didn’t take anything UF related and put it by the road though, so baby steps.

Sadly, when going to clubs in Korea, it was the year that Ace of Base was MASSIVE everywhere in the world EXCEPT the US... so I heard it that whole year in Korea, then, when I thought I had "escaped" Ace of Base when I got back to the US, we "discovered" Ace of Base and I got year 2 of them
In full "yeah, I just admitted to that" disclosure, I still love "Voules-Vous Danser"
I always thought Jenny Breggren from that group was hot. Then I saw some pictures where I thought not so much. She definitely could have been the gal in the Seinfeld "Two face" episode. Here's one of the good shots - can't bring myself to post one of the not so good ones:I had a six CD changer on my little stereo in my room...

You just left a hole in your wall for like 3 months?

I was 11 when that game happened, and was so irate, I took everything UF I had in my room and put it in my (also UF) trash can, and put it outside my room.
I tended to take these losses hard.
After a bitter loss to Mississippi State in the early 80's, all but ending the quest for our first SEC title, Larry Guest (Orlando Sentinel) wrote a column saying that after the loss his neighbor Wolfgang gathered all of his Gator hats, shirts, jersies, signs, posters, memorabilia, car tags, bumper stickers, drink coasters, etc, etc, etc, burned them in a backyard bonfire and swore to never attend, watch on tv, listen to a game on the radio, read an article about or even acknowledge the Gator's existence ever again. I would be lying if I said I had not considered doing the same thing on more than one occasion after a tough loss.
I have often said to those who ask me for a pre-game prediction or a post-game reaction after a loss ~ 'I am a Gator fan and I am used to living with disappointment'. How pathetic is that?
