Something tells me Uruguay’s World Cup team will not have any parades awaiting them when they return home.
So, for today’s discussion, was there ever a time we ever had a performance so bad you thought the team should’ve been forced to walk home?
One definitely comes to mind for me:
How about you? Was there a game that comes to mind that you were so embarrassed about you’d have cancelled the team’s charter?
Discuss.
They didn’t need to get on a plane, but McWhorter should have been cleaned out after the Vandy Homecoming game in 1994.
IYKYK.
Ugh was there for that, Jax 94 as well. My most recent game for the list was USCe in Athens 2019.
91 Vandy comes to mind as fitting the qualifications
Otto1980
2008 WLOCP comes to mind. Irvin Meyers comes back with the world’s largest chip on his shoulder after the 2007 shellacking and curb-stomps an obviously overhyped and under-inspired team.
Honorable mention to BOTH the 2009 WLOCP and the 2011 Boise State game for the mind-bogglingly shitty ‘uniform choices’. May we never, EVER, see them again.
Was going to say 2011 Boise State as well. 2007 Tenneseee too.
It can get worse than a commercial plane ride home: https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/w3ct5wdk
I don’t get too upset when we’re beat, even badly, by a superior opponent. Road games can be tough in this conference. Sometimes you are as good as you thought/hoped.
What does bother me is when the team should win and should be locked in and they don’t seem to gaf or we are just disorganized and/or unfocused.
With that in mind, the 1997 Auburn home game with our first East title on the line comes to mind.
The Sugar Bowl loss to ND falls into that category.
Our next to last home loss (USCe 2019) would as well.
The 2008 Tech game was inexcusable.
The 1979 game in athens v Virginia was pretty brutal. We had to eat a 31-0 loss in a game we were favored.
That was soooo bad. I might still have a nightmare over that one occasionally. There was also a loss to Wake Forest in there somewhere l’m not quite over yet!
The Bulldogs looked somewhat uninspired in the 2006 loss to West Virginia in the Sugar Bowl.
But yet, they were a Pat McAfee fake punt away from having a chance to complete an unbelievable comeback in that game.
That was about underestimating how good Slaton and White were. Those two fuckers we’re shifty. Blue was trying to hit ‘em. But when he got there, they’d moved.
I remember the time Grayson Lambert set a completion record against Sackerlina and made the ol’ Ball Sack quit on his team mid-season. I try not to dwell on our failures.
Or the time Kirby took a bunch of underdawgs into Austin. The Long Horns were expecting to be crowned king of the SEC. Instead they were castrated on national tv.
No interest in looking back of failures. I’ve lived through too many. I prefer to enjoy the good times .
South Carolina 2012. GRRRRR.
Nichols State. oof.
Ugliest win in program history. Embarrassing.
2014 Cocktail Party.
2000 South Carolina….
