Man I have a few most already mentioned, got to go with 2001 SEC Championship game...we just did not come ready to play, and looked worse in our bowl loss!
2006 florida game continues to haunt me and most recent ucla debacle of 08, I could not sleep that night and felt a strong omen/aura that the VOLS were doomed for the season...and they were (much like the fumbled away 2005 loss to the hated bammers, I knew the season was cooked).
My own post of ghosts from seasons past is creeping me out...enough said.
GO VOLS
In our 01 bowl we kicked Michigans faces in. I'll never forget Jason Witten outrunning their Dbs.
1980 UGA game...Walkers debut....UT 1st and goal on the 1 foot line with 1 minute remaining and "Randall I can't find the handle Morris" fumbled, UGA recovers and goes on to win the national title...Another one would be the game the week right after that one against Southern Cal...Driving for the win with 1 minute left again and Jeff Fisher intercepts the ball and USC kicks the game winner as the clock expires.....Arrgghh!!
2001 UGA. 64 yard screen to T. Stephens and we win.....or do we? This game was the worst IMO because of the swing in emotion. It went from absolute elation (with almost certain victory) to misery (hob-nailed boot) in a matter of about one minute.
I agree with you 100%. I felt the full force of Larry Munson's "hob-nailed boot".
For me, having only been a fan for a few years, would be the 2007 SECCG. We were on a golf vacation in Pinehurst, NC, and that ruined the entire weekend. I think I shot something like a 120 the next day.

Mine would be our game after that, the SEC championship game in '01. Anyone who believes Chavis' @$#& doesn't stink needs to watch that game again. The beginning of the end for us as a top team. Posted via VolNation Mobile
amen
90 bama comes close, because we clearly had a better team but gifted it away.
not gut wrenching but overall sickest however was 08 bama.
