I call this a Chuckiepoo brain pop.
You have these all the time. Read a post and POP , the perfect song appears.

You have a gift of finding the perfect Brain Pop Tune.

It’s weird that so many of us hate the Giants. You being a Dodgers fan it’s justified. But the one team nobody likes, our beloved ex left for. Is there a clip, or is it too painful to post?

I just went to YouTube and watched it.. my bad is was September of 1982.. still pissed me off watching it...

I’m going to my parents for dinner, gonna need to read this when I get back. It’s a lot of good ones.

It’s a laundry list of continuous knife twisting into the heart. Have fun

 

[CAVPUT]

As a Lions fan I can’t pretend to know your pain.

At least you have memories of Sanders to comfort you. I got memories of the Packers in Superbowl II and Buck Buchanan body slamming old man Blanda on his head. Consider yourself favored.

…damn, you keep some receipts. I would hate to see the complete file on Snitker…

In person, the 2016 Oklahoma football game. The Music City Bowl where we lost after UNC had a penalty on their last drive but benefitted because there was no 10-second runoff. The SEC basketball tournament where Maymon was double T’d up against Florida. Vols Baseball getting called for a “runner’s interference” on a play that would have ended the game against Alabama in the SECT.

On television or through the news, there are countless.

Braves blowing a 2-0 World Series lead to the Yankees coming back to Atlanta.

Titans Super Bowl ending.

Vols football losing the 2001 SEC Championship with a trip to the National Championship on the line.

The Mount Cody Game.

4th and 26 game against Florida.

Hail Mary game against Florida.

The 10-9 game against Florida.

Any number of other football games each year since 1998. Take your pick.

Lane Kiffin running away in the middle of the night.

Tom Glavine, Andruw Jones, Brian McCann, Freddie Freeman leaving the Braves.

The Infield Fly Game.

Braves getting the All Star game taken away from them.

Braves blowing a 3-1 lead to the Dodgers in the NLCS.

Barry Bonds passing Hank Aaron in HR.

Steve McNair, Reggie White, Kobe Bryant passing away.

Vols basketball losing heartbreaking NCAAT games against Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Loyola, FAU, Purdue x2.

The Bruce Pearl violations scandal.

Vols Baseball losing to Notre Dame in the Super Regional.

Tony leaving us.

Damn!

Baseball has been pretty fun as of late and I never really expected much pre Tony V, outside of a few years(I really thought Dave Serrano would lead us to the promise land) and basketball is a blast, but again, I never really took losses that hard.
Football...football is a different animal.
Numerous losses where my heart was ripped from my chest.
Too many gut wrenching losses to list.

This is a great complete list.

The Mount Cody game I’d count as a moral victory. It showed Kiffin was the right guy and we were headed in a positive direction. That’s what hurt so much when he bolted to USC.

Rank in order hardest to swallow.
Pearl scandal
Kiffin leaving
Tony leaving


By the way, my daughter is a mental health therapist. She doesn’t have any openings but she said she could fit you in.

Don’t tell me you remember Super Bowl II too?

Can she give @VolPack22 and @CAVPUT a package deal?

No. I do remember Blanda and Lamonica, but a little too early for specific games.

You know I’ve mentioned this before. I was out of the country from June 83 until end of November 84.

The best year my Detroit Tigers had, 1984, I wasn’t able to watch a single game, not even a single highlight. The best news I’d get was getting a newspaper and checking the standings. It wasn’t until years later I rented some videos at blockbuster and watched highlights of the season and their World Series journey.

What do these players all have in common.

Hey, @Volprofch05 here’s a car for your oldest, assuming GM doesn’t swoop in and buy this piece of automotive history for their museum. With 88 horses under that bulging hood, zero to 60 times are measured in minutes. As a bonus, that Delco stereo has a built in equalizer!
