Most Disappointing loss

[sunnyvol79]

We have had a ton of them in the last 20 or so years but for me it’s gotta be the 2001 SEC title game for me against LSU with a trip to the Rose bowl on the line for us to play for the national championship. We blow a 17-7 lead and get outscored 24-3 enroute to a 31-20 loss and Chavis and our defense couldn’t adjust to a simple up the middle QB run by Matt Mauck. We also accelerated Saban’s rise to power as he won his first SEC title.

There have been so many when you think about it. I agree, that 2001 loss in the SECCG with a chance for another natty was probably the worst. I'd give honorable mentions to the following last play of the game losses: 2009 loss at AL on a blocked field goal (could've upset #1 on their home field), Dooley's loss at LSU (12 players on the field) Also Pig's fumble in the End Zone against OU (or was that UGA, hell we lost so many I can't remember).

I have to say the loss to Tiger High School, I mean Memphis State is top 5 along with Wyoming, Georgia State, 2001 LSU and there are another 10 that are tied for 5th place (OU, Dooley LSU, NC, ND, Etc)

SECCG 2001 vs LSU was biggest but at that point I don't know that it hit as hard as some others because I thought we would continue to be top contenders. Looking back it makes you realize the gravity of the loss and how hard it will be to get that shot again.

Pig's fumble was UGA and I was sitting right in front of it. That was a tough one

2001 SEC Championship, not even a question. We've not been the same since halftime of that game.

Agreed that loss changed the trajectory of the football program

Completely agree with all that has been posted so far: 2001 SECCG; Memphis; Georgia State.

I'll add another one that still burns me today: The Phantom Catch by Jabar Gafney in 2000 in which we lost to Florida 27-23

South Carolina/Vandy 2016 sucked a$$

How you and your ip address have not been banned by Freak and his moderators as an obvious troll of the Tennessee football program, that's beyond me.

The community are all excited, getting ready for what promises to be a really fun football season ... and things are looking too good for you, so you come up with a hook to the most negative memories possible, and toss it into the midst of us.

None of this is surprising, knowing your history here. What is surprising is that some members of the community, actual Volunteer fans, follow along.

You're a cancer on this community.

What’s bad is he posted this same exact thread before. His entire history is trolling UT

I drove 430 miles down to watch it. It was a long 430 miles back home

LSU 2001 trumps them all.

After that, they all kind of run together.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Most disappointing loss? Wouldn't that be the most current one?

Sunnyvol79 Must have been one of those kids who never had an injury heal due to loving to continuously pick at the Scabs

The blocked field goal that would have defeated Bama in Kiffin‘s one and done season was devastating to me

I'm thinking a tea-bagging, tree-killing, sucker-punching Bammer.

The loss at Kentucky under Dooley. Ky. was playing a receiver at OB.
