    in honor of carnoustie this week. Heard an interview with a guy yesterday with a little known fact about that event.


    after he triple bogeyed the 18th to go into a playoff, he was all excited heading to the clubhouse. The guy actually lost track and thought he double-bogeyed and still won the championship.

    Finally someone had to approach him and say, jean, umm.....we got bad news.

    No. That football game was horrifying, but UT had a whole half to climb back in.

    Dude had a three shot lead after playing 71 holes of great golf, then had a triple-bogey. He could have hit his 7-iron for every shot and won a major. Moron.

    If I said it once, I said it 1,000,000 times. LSU was lucky to ever be ahead in that game in the 1st place.

    LSU had a freak fumble on the kickoff, then a freak INT for a TD.

    Tennessee dropped at least 7-8 passes in that 1st half that should have put them right around the lead. they outplayed LSU the whole game.

    the 94 auburn game takes the cake on everything

    this is more comparable to Iowa.

    5 pt lead and all you have to do is bat down a hail mary...

    the rest is history.

    possibly only because we should expect a frenchie to surrender.

    the AU debacle is hands down the worst. Dale Browns 50 pt halftime collapse is close.

    AU was the worst in terms of both severity AND obviousness for all watching. At least Van De Choke had to keep hitting the ball. We didn't have to keep throwing it.

    The Kentucky game was bad, but also a bit predictable. It was Kentucky at their prime, and it was widely known that Brown couldn't coach.

    Clair's right on Tennessee outplaying us the whole game. The loss just sucked so badly that I think we make it seem more catastrophic than it was.

    Greatest group thread hijacking on record. Probably trained on simulators in Florida.

    LSU dominated their ass in the first half... we brought the pressure along with several different blitz packages..


    then we decided to play a soft cover 2 zone and left 9-12 yard cushions on their wr's.........

    freaking rick clausen??????????????? :cuss:
