Title: Worst loss ever.
Post by: RON on September 27, 2015, 09:16:58 EDT
I would rather lose by 10 or more than lose the way UT lost to Florida yesterday. What makes it worse is Florida has now won 11 straight and 24 out of the last 30 meetings. They have 1 guaranteed win a year and that is UT. I hate losing to the same team year after year.

Well KY is even more guaranteed for them, but we are beginning to approach that, unfortunately.

The only silver lining I have is that we should have beaten them the last year, and more so this year.  

Eleven years is the longest streak anyone has on us, and that was bammer in the bear days.  If Butch can get his head out of his arse, there is no reason we can't compete with them for the foreseeable future, and break the streak.  The last two games we were so close.

Again...IF Butch removes his head from his posterior we can get them next year.

But my days of worrying about what we do against the gators the year following a tough loss are long over.  I'm more worried right now about what we do against Arkansas next week.

For me the worst loss is still the '01 SEC championship.

With some work we can hit 8-4. It's very doable. The problem is my prediction of 8-4 was predicated on other teams being better than they are. Arkansas and South Carolina are pretty bad, so that record may not look terrific.

Also, apparently McIlwain is more concerned with winning than brick collecting. That proved problematic.

Forgot that one. I started for the exit even before their kick. Of course we'd just suffered through AU's comeback to tie at 26. That season went a long way toward sealing Majors'  fate.

While BDV has us being depressed over '90 Bama, does anyone remember the song Pinkard and Bowden did prior to the game to celebrate our pending victory?

All I remember is a line that went, "The quarterback that clown, well he fumbled on first down, Darryl Hardy picked it up, and ran it in." I think the stupid thing was even played on the pregame show.

Never heard of it, but that's funny
