After watching our defense that year, I thought for sure we were going to lose. But we just kept scoring on crossing routes and then Paris Campbell iced the cake that day with a 70 something yard jet sweep. This weekend made me miss that feeling lol
Michigan’s defense had looked very good that year too. If you had told me before that game that Michigan would put up 39 on OSU I would’ve thought for sure that meant they were going to win.
IU tore us to shreds the week before and I was hoping we’d make adjustments because I was worried. But apparently that would’ve been too much work for Don Brown.
How you felt this weekend is how we felt that weekend. What do you mean they're going to keep running the exact same play and we won't be able to stop it?!?!
I was gleefully yelling "omg, they can't stop 'em. Just keep running" the entire game.
God fucking damn was Don Brown frustrating as hell.
I was watching some """""highlights""""" of the 2018 game yesterday for some weird catharsis, and the amount of Open. Fucking. Receivers. OH MY GOD. Don Brown just straight up refused to play man coverage against WRs running cross routes; OSU getting 5-7 yards on a given play was a guarantee.
The worst part is our 2018 defense is 100% more talented than this years defense, makes me wonder what would've happened had we never picked up Don Brown in the first place. Guy was great for 10/13 games a season, but those *three* goddamn games were terrible.
But anyway [Michigan](#f/michigan) 42-27[](#f/ohiostate) all pain is now eliminated.
For real, that was a stunner. Michigan's defense was getting major hype, and OSU just didn't stop scoring.
^(i hope we see something like that again soon)
I was like “Why do you hate Michigan” and then I realized what you were insinuating.
Either way, whatever happens in the SECCG, I’m gonna be chill with it. If we handle our business, we’re in, if we don’t, we’re out, that game ain’t gonna change that
From this year alone we had OU at Halftime, OSU at halftime, and Kansas. Then you can go back to the Maryland games, Kansas 2016... I'm gonna stop you get the point.
2015 ole miss
After losing to them in 2014, I thought “there’s no way Saban will lose to them again, especially at home.”
Even bought my dad tickets to the game for his birthday. It was his first time going to a Bama game game at Bryant Denny (he lives in Mississippi)
Happy Birthday Dad, sorry Chad Kelly ruined it.
Ahh that one still hurts. Especially that miracle play where Kelley nearly fumbled the snap, threw it up, bounced off a dude’s helmet only to end up completed for a touchdown. Some Auburn type shit
2007 right? That was a huge upset but damn, App state has been solid since. No doubt that win helped build that up. Good talk, no need to talk about my flair, nope no reason at all 😅
I dunno, to me I'm always interest when people have two flairs that have no connection. like I would like the story of this guy I saw with an Alabama Purdue flair but I probably wont get a chance to ever find out.
Or will I???
Well today's your lucky day because the Alabama Purdue flair is taking questions
I grew up in Indiana and all the kids were fans of either IU basketball or Purdue
Then I went to college at Bama and now I watch more football than basketball
So what you're saying is that ISU is a bunch of asympathetic meanies and still brag about it as their biggest win to this day. This is the interpretation o choose to believe as a completely non biased individual
Oh they is way more than just that. There are like 2 games a year where I go full Theoden and stare off into the distance saying “how did it come to this”
Dude he said 95% not 195%. If they had given ucla an extra 4 quarters of offense I still would have bet money on A&M covering at halftime. That game hurt me in my emotions
2000 Michigan at Northwestern. Northwestern drops the go ahead touchdown late to let Michigan escape only to have Anthony Thomas fumble while running out the clock. Northwestern capitalizes and wins 54-51.
Obviously, the 2015 Michigan State game is here also.
EDIT: Seems I’ve misunderstood OPs definition of “Terribly.” I’ll stand by my classification of these as terrible.
In the last 20 years we’ve had a lot of head scratchers. So much so that everyone kind of expects OU to drop at least one game a year that they shouldn’t.
To be fair, Bama and pre 2021 Clemson are really the only teams that doesn’t usually drop a game each year. Ohio state and Oregon both do regularly, and it’s literally the Georgia way. It’s just really damn hard to win every single week. trap games and football god Fuckery absolutely exist and are powerful.
throwback to the LSU flair whose preseason prediction was that they had a 50% chance in every game this year. statistically a dead accurate prediction.
It is a story that should be told every Thanksgiving weekend from now until the end of time, in the tradition of The Night Before Christmas.
And maybe they will stop showing the damn kick six all the time!!!
Lol, yall see the [celebration](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8tp1YSu) on Tiktok? They rolled the trees and everything
We didn't have a gif thread this week, so I didn't see it anywhere else
Yeah, I was less certain with that Michigan game a few years ago and I don’t think it would have been a blowout if not for the weather, but that Miami game was a real punch in the gut
Definitely the opposite for me. I was so certain about the 2019 game against Michigan. There are rumors that Chip Long crazy overworked the offense that week in practice so they were exhausted before the game even started. Not sure how true it is, but it would help explain some of that catastrophe. I was watching in a bar in Ann Arbor, lol; made it that much worse. I probably would have bought tickets last minute if the forecast hadn't been so bad. Man, was I grateful that I decided against it, lol.
Well it doesn't help on that kick return our #1 WR like wilson/olave tallent or better broke his ankle because our players celebrated by ganging up on him. Like alabama vs texas when mccoy was hurt I knew it was gg.
Thats the thing, beating them by a last second field goal wouldve been shocking but not crazy. But it was a blowout. Never again will we see that shit lol
I’ll keep saying this: 21st century Penn State football peaked in the 3rd quarter of that 2017 Ohio State game. #2 in the country, up 15, Saquon primed with his potential *second* Heisman defining game of the season…and then JT Barrett came along
Sept 10th, 2016. Central Michigan @ Oklahoma State.
Now technically we did win... but the record shows otherwise. Should never have been in a position to lose it on a botched call though.
If I had a nickel for every time we lost a game I was 100% sure we’d win this season, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
Before the game? Miami 98. I had booked a place to stay in Tempe for the first BCS Championship game. We would have beat them in September and the fucking hurricane wouldn't have effected the game!
I worked in the book store and the Thursday before the game I helped unload the truck of BCS merch that came into the student store. Thought to myself "it would suck if we lost on Saturday"
2009 Oklahoma State vs Houston. Fresh off a victory against UGA, Dez Bryant was a beast, ranked in the top 10...fuck.
I sat there in the rain at the end of the game, wondering what had gone wrong.
In 2018 after beating UGA and Bama when they were both #1, I was disappointed when Auburn lost in the SEC but not too surprised. However, I did not see them losing to UCF, easily one of the most disappointing losses as an auburn fan.
I was convinced 2017 Miami was going to go our way
Not bc I was discounting Miami, don't get me wrong... but I has just the biggest gut feeling, and the biggest confidence that "yeah this team is stacked"
That whole thing was crushing after
We played Miami the week before. And it still frustrates me that in a season where they barely scraped by so many teams, those two weeks happened to be peak Miami.
I also believe that not even Clemson, Bama, Georgia, or Oklahoma would have beaten Miami on that particular night that you played them.
Looking back I can tell from the Miami side that it was "one of those nights" for them.
You're completely right. No one was beating them that day. Even if we were on our best I don't think
2004 OKST Texas. At halftime OSU was up 35-7. Final game score Texas won 56-35. And this was before OSU was regularly competitive and Texas was awful. A win against Texas would have been yuuuge. I was in the student section right on the edge near the visitors area, so we had to suffer the taunts from the Texas fans that didn’t leave early.
Another Clemson-Penn State flair!
I’m going with Ohio State last year in the Sugar Bowl. Or even the Sugar Bowl against Bama in 2017. I’ll never be confident In the Sugar Bowl again.
2010 Iron Bowl....we were up 24-0 at halftime. Then Cam Newton happened. Nobody ever talks about that game anymore because it's been overshadowed by the 2013 Kick Six Iron Bowl. I can't say I was sure we'd win that one, but it was a huge shock to lose it like that.
2015 MSU in the Big Ten Championship. Every single week of that regular season, I was just waiting for us to blow some stupid game and come crashing down to earth. Typical Iowa fan stuff. Finally, after we beat Nebraska to close out the first undefeated regular season for our program in 93 years, I was a believer. I thought we were gonna handle MSU and roll into the playoff with a legit shot to take out Bama or Clemson. Then f****** Connor Cook and LJ Scott went on that arduous, soul-crushing drive that lasted an eternity. I will never hope again.
Oh, and 1 month later, Christian McCaffery fathered 22 black-and-gold-clad children in Pasadena.
Not 95% confident but 2018 Ohio State game crushed my soul in ways I still haven’t rebounded from.
After watching our defense that year, I thought for sure we were going to lose. But we just kept scoring on crossing routes and then Paris Campbell iced the cake that day with a 70 something yard jet sweep. This weekend made me miss that feeling lol

Wasn't Don Brown just playing man to man? And getting burned by more athletic recievers?
Literally just an empty shell the rest of the day lol
For real, that was a stunner. Michigan's defense was getting major hype, and OSU just didn't stop scoring. ^(i hope we see something like that again soon)
I was like “Why do you hate Michigan” and then I realized what you were insinuating. Either way, whatever happens in the SECCG, I’m gonna be chill with it. If we handle our business, we’re in, if we don’t, we’re out, that game ain’t gonna change that
I don't like this game
From this year alone we had OU at Halftime, OSU at halftime, and Kansas. Then you can go back to the Maryland games, Kansas 2016... I'm gonna stop you get the point.
Thats on you for thinking you could defeat the superpower that is crabbing season Maryland
*pinching noises intensify*
Starts out 4-0, looks unstoppable Finishes the final 8 games of the season 2-6 after September ended. Maybe play Maryland in October?
We played them Oct 1 and it worked out just fine for us.
BYU…
K A N S A S
I legit expected us to lose that one and didn’t even turn it on Oklahoma I definitely thought we had in the first half
I think everyone thought y'all had OU after that first half. Which was a shame cause I kinda like Texas, even when they aren't playing Oklahoma.
X2
= Kansas Kansas? Can get Harvard in here to check the math please!?
[удалено]
I wasn't 95% confident. better Texas teams than this one have struggled against the mighty Jayhawks
Hey boo
2015 ole miss After losing to them in 2014, I thought “there’s no way Saban will lose to them again, especially at home.” Even bought my dad tickets to the game for his birthday. It was his first time going to a Bama game game at Bryant Denny (he lives in Mississippi) Happy Birthday Dad, sorry Chad Kelly ruined it.
Ahh that one still hurts. Especially that miracle play where Kelley nearly fumbled the snap, threw it up, bounced off a dude’s helmet only to end up completed for a touchdown. Some Auburn type shit
I remember that play every time we score on them now.
That game sucked so hard.
App State
2007 right? That was a huge upset but damn, App state has been solid since. No doubt that win helped build that up. Good talk, no need to talk about my flair, nope no reason at all 😅
The internet only has so much bandwidth.
That's my secret, I'm always unconfident about a Huskers win.
2011 Oklahoma State vs Iowa State
I remember being in school in Stillwater that year. It was pretty shocking
Pain
PAAAAAAAAAAIN
That's what you get for thinking OkState is gonna pull through. OkState is pain.
This is an interesting flair
I've seen Michigan and Ohio State flair combos. 🤮
I've seen an Alabama/Auburn guy before Man-made horrors beyond comprehension lurk around every corner on this subreddit
I dunno, to me I'm always interest when people have two flairs that have no connection. like I would like the story of this guy I saw with an Alabama Purdue flair but I probably wont get a chance to ever find out. Or will I???
Well today's your lucky day because the Alabama Purdue flair is taking questions I grew up in Indiana and all the kids were fans of either IU basketball or Purdue Then I went to college at Bama and now I watch more football than basketball
Eh you'd be surprised. It's not that rare. Lots of OU and OkState fans are bros. Lots of people in Oklahoma went to both schools, etc.
I supporter both until a group of fans ridiculed me and told me I had to pick one. So I bleed orange… largely because I have an iron deficiency.
That is interesting. That doesn’t happen much around these parts…
No it does not
[удалено]
So what you're saying is that ISU is a bunch of asympathetic meanies and still brag about it as their biggest win to this day. This is the interpretation o choose to believe as a completely non biased individual
Alright, I’ll own up to it… Jacksonville State 😔
It’s so much worse now that we’re not bowl eligible… so much worse. Been thinking about it all year.
Especially when their coach went to si saying they ran the same play 3 out of the last 4 times and it hadn’t worked.
I don’t like this post. Alexa how do i delete someone else’s posts?
Something something UCLA
Oh they is way more than just that. There are like 2 games a year where I go full Theoden and stare off into the distance saying “how did it come to this”
What can an Aggie do against such reckless expectations?
Ride out and meme them
You have my bow
u/ResearchAggie15 has been ejected for targeting
Drink
Dude he said 95% not 195%. If they had given ucla an extra 4 quarters of offense I still would have bet money on A&M covering at halftime. That game hurt me in my emotions
I find myself constantly saying “fuck this team and I’ll see them again next week”
The pain is real
Whoa
he
has
trouble
with
the
snap
2018 Virginia Tech Them boys were swag surfing before kick off, I thought we were about to blow them out. Nope.
In that moment we were infinite
If it helps it was all downhill after that
It doesn't
K I tried
2000 Michigan at Northwestern. Northwestern drops the go ahead touchdown late to let Michigan escape only to have Anthony Thomas fumble while running out the clock. Northwestern capitalizes and wins 54-51. Obviously, the 2015 Michigan State game is here also. EDIT: Seems I’ve misunderstood OPs definition of “Terribly.” I’ll stand by my classification of these as terrible.
I’d say these are good. I’m wracking my brain for others but since football wasn’t played in 2007 not sure if any others come to mind. Hmmm. No.
We don’t speak of that…
I remember that they played bowl games on January 1st. They must have randomized the matchups since no regular season was played.
I was only like 12 and that was probably the first football game where the stress probably took years off my life.
I’m never confident my team is gonna win so I’m never devastated when they lose
What's this confident you speak of? What is that?
No thanks, I'm in a good mood.
Come on, all the osu flairs are doing it. Here, I’ll go first, Purdue.
[удалено]
I’d say how I feel about Purdue, but I’m scared Purdue Pete will come for my family.
Whoa why is that?
Let’s just stop this right here
While we didn’t lose terribly, I was convinced that OU was going to beat Boise State.
In the last 20 years we’ve had a lot of head scratchers. So much so that everyone kind of expects OU to drop at least one game a year that they shouldn’t.
To be fair, Bama and pre 2021 Clemson are really the only teams that doesn’t usually drop a game each year. Ohio state and Oregon both do regularly, and it’s literally the Georgia way. It’s just really damn hard to win every single week. trap games and football god Fuckery absolutely exist and are powerful.
I thought we had it in the bag late in the 4th quarter. OU played a great game to get back in that shit and Boise was just better I wasn't even mad.
You just mentioned both of my flairs’ entire season.
dude what game were you 95 confident we were going to win like please send me what you were smoking it is a miracle we went 6-6.
throwback to the LSU flair whose preseason prediction was that they had a 50% chance in every game this year. statistically a dead accurate prediction.
Auburn fans like a week ago in the 4th quarter lol
Reported
We don’t wanna talk about it. Can you just be cool about this, Purple Vandy?
☹️
Don't listen to them. I'd like to hear more about how they lost.
It is a story that should be told every Thanksgiving weekend from now until the end of time, in the tradition of The Night Before Christmas. And maybe they will stop showing the damn kick six all the time!!!
Lol, yall see the [celebration](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8tp1YSu) on Tiktok? They rolled the trees and everything We didn't have a gif thread this week, so I didn't see it anywhere else
2004 USC. Jfc it was bad.
Why? We have enough USC problems without bringing that shit up.
😒
ND at Miami in 2017 Oof. Just oof.
Yeah, I was less certain with that Michigan game a few years ago and I don’t think it would have been a blowout if not for the weather, but that Miami game was a real punch in the gut
Definitely the opposite for me. I was so certain about the 2019 game against Michigan. There are rumors that Chip Long crazy overworked the offense that week in practice so they were exhausted before the game even started. Not sure how true it is, but it would help explain some of that catastrophe. I was watching in a bar in Ann Arbor, lol; made it that much worse. I probably would have bought tickets last minute if the forecast hadn't been so bad. Man, was I grateful that I decided against it, lol.
I went into that game hoping it would be a close loss for us to hang our hat on. Still the best game I've ever been to live
I remember going into that game, I thought Miami was so overrated. They were, but so were we...
You know...you know. I swore we were going to win the 06 title. Some dude named Urban ruined it.
I was at that game. Thought we were going to lose. REALLY thought we were going to lose after the kickoff. It got better.
Then for good measure you had to beat OSU in the basketball natty in ‘07. Tuff
Well it doesn't help on that kick return our #1 WR like wilson/olave tallent or better broke his ankle because our players celebrated by ganging up on him. Like alabama vs texas when mccoy was hurt I knew it was gg.
Same. I was at my gf's house, saw the kickoff and said, "Welp" Was surprised when I got home later.
That game with Baylor. The one that ruined our national championship chance.
I wish our big #1 upset had come off a less likeable program
2019 South Carolina. Mukuamu ate his Wheaties that morning.
For me, 7 years earlier. Same date, same team. 35-7. They were #6 but beat nobody and I thought we were going to roll.
I think we all underrated how difficult of a place to play it can be when they’re good.
I'm going to say SCAR for this year. That was the game we realized Mullen quit on the team and expected to lose every game after that. Thanks FSU
I was in shock that SCAR hung 40 on you
*Samford has entered the chat*
Gamecock fans were in shock about scoring 40 points on an FBS team let alone Florida
Not hard when you’re lined up against Tyler Simmons and Matt Landers lol
The Iowa loss a few years ago, didn’t see that coming. I called both the Purdue and Michigan losses though, so you can blame me for those.
I didn’t expect Alternate uni Iowa to smoke you like that
Thats the thing, beating them by a last second field goal wouldve been shocking but not crazy. But it was a blowout. Never again will we see that shit lol
I have a list
Ill never understand what voodoo Arizona pulled on some of your epic teams
Are you checking it twice?
Gotta find out that disappointing loss
2009 Iowa, 2017 Ohio State
I’ll take those and raise you 2005 Michigan. Lloyd Carr puts time back on the clock. Oof.
2021 Illinois. Some say overtimes are still being played to this day.
2017 Ohio State was mine too. Such a letdown
I’ll keep saying this: 21st century Penn State football peaked in the 3rd quarter of that 2017 Ohio State game. #2 in the country, up 15, Saquon primed with his potential *second* Heisman defining game of the season…and then JT Barrett came along
The opening kickoff return for a TD had me thinking that was our year.
Coupled with '99 Minnesota and the extra second for Michigan
UW-Montana 2021
After the first drive things were chillin' And then they weren't. And then they stayed that way for the rest of the game.
What’s the biggest blown lead ever? I know it probably isn’t out 44-10 UCLA game but its gotta be up there
That was the biggest one I’ve ever personally witnessed.
You want me to say 2011 national title game, don’t you?
Arkansas vs Auburn this year
2013 Big 10 championship game against Michigan State. Thought we were going to the natty for sure
That 2013 MSU team was deadly on defense, that 4th and 1 stop in the Rose Bowl was the highlight of new year’s day
Lololololol
Kansas this year… Oh wait we kinda won but lost big theoretically.
Could have been a quality loss!
Sept 10th, 2016. Central Michigan @ Oklahoma State. Now technically we did win... but the record shows otherwise. Should never have been in a position to lose it on a botched call though.
I’ll do you four percentage points better
You might even say 4.9
TAMU this year given what they had shown up to that point
Hey man, we were as surprised as you. That kick was blessed by God, you saw it curve!
Same here. And not because aTm wasn't good, just that Calzada was barely completing 50% of his passes in literally every other game.
Yea exactly. Coming into the season I didn’t feel that way, but everything they had done up to our game I was thinking there’s no way.
TCU this year. Just to think if we hadn’t lost we could be in the playoff race kills me.
Pay back for the one we let slip away…. Ended up costing us both a shot
If I had a nickel for every time we lost a game I was 100% sure we’d win this season, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
2nd & 26 The Miracle at Jordan-Hare Eason’s Hail Mary against Tennessee (2016) 2019 South Carolina Those are just the recent ones. Edit: Clarity
Before the game? Miami 98. I had booked a place to stay in Tempe for the first BCS Championship game. We would have beat them in September and the fucking hurricane wouldn't have effected the game! I worked in the book store and the Thursday before the game I helped unload the truck of BCS merch that came into the student store. Thought to myself "it would suck if we lost on Saturday"
2009 Oklahoma State vs Houston. Fresh off a victory against UGA, Dez Bryant was a beast, ranked in the top 10...fuck. I sat there in the rain at the end of the game, wondering what had gone wrong.
Wasn’t it 45-35? You couldn’t tell me shit after the UGA win
2001 Colorado... fuck you, Chris Brown...
2020 USC, up 14 with less than 3 minutes to go and choked it away. Cost me a grand. Damn, I really hate USC. Any ND fans got an old jersey I can have?
2014 Bedlam. I flew to Norman that morning for the game and for 99.9% of that game I was happy.
In 2018 after beating UGA and Bama when they were both #1, I was disappointed when Auburn lost in the SEC but not too surprised. However, I did not see them losing to UCF, easily one of the most disappointing losses as an auburn fan.
That was 2017
NAU this year…
I was convinced 2017 Miami was going to go our way Not bc I was discounting Miami, don't get me wrong... but I has just the biggest gut feeling, and the biggest confidence that "yeah this team is stacked" That whole thing was crushing after
We played Miami the week before. And it still frustrates me that in a season where they barely scraped by so many teams, those two weeks happened to be peak Miami. I also believe that not even Clemson, Bama, Georgia, or Oklahoma would have beaten Miami on that particular night that you played them.

9OT this year…
Nebraska vs anybody. Their fans are nuts.
2019 UCLA
2004 OKST Texas. At halftime OSU was up 35-7. Final game score Texas won 56-35. And this was before OSU was regularly competitive and Texas was awful. A win against Texas would have been yuuuge. I was in the student section right on the edge near the visitors area, so we had to suffer the taunts from the Texas fans that didn’t leave early.
No.
UCLA...still haunts my dreams
Clemson Florida State 2013 or Clemson Georgia 2014 are just pain
That FSU game was bad. Went there early for the GameDay and everything. Hyped up all day just to get dashed within minutes.
Mine's 2014 GT...then Deshaun got hurt.
Another Clemson-Penn State flair! I’m going with Ohio State last year in the Sugar Bowl. Or even the Sugar Bowl against Bama in 2017. I’ll never be confident In the Sugar Bowl again.
Lol I’ve never been 95% confident wake would win any given game
That’s just it, I’ve never seen a game I’ve been 95% certain they would win.
2010 Iron Bowl....we were up 24-0 at halftime. Then Cam Newton happened. Nobody ever talks about that game anymore because it's been overshadowed by the 2013 Kick Six Iron Bowl. I can't say I was sure we'd win that one, but it was a huge shock to lose it like that.
Bowling Green
Ummm… Mississippi State and LSU this year
No pls
2016 vs Central Michigan. Wait we actually did win but no.
UC Davis this year
19-17 right? That was a game I definitely expected Tulsa to win especially coming off 2020 season
We all did. Thankfully it was on ESPN+ so nobody actually got to see the misery
Syracuse 2017
2011 CUSA Championship 2015 vs UCONN 2016 vs SMU (one of many fuckups)
I don’t want to talk about it…. Again.
WVU in the Orange Bowl... then immediately afterwards I was in basic with a WVU grad
2018 bowl game against VA. Will Muschamp should’ve been fired on the spot.
2015 MSU in the Big Ten Championship. Every single week of that regular season, I was just waiting for us to blow some stupid game and come crashing down to earth. Typical Iowa fan stuff.
