Whatever year it was John Fourcade scrambled and ran the ball in for winning TD in the West endzone of MS Memorial Stadium and took a victory lap around the endzone and across the field with the ball held high. It would have been 1980+- 2 years. It's been ~45 years now and I still wouldn't pis-s on him on the 50 yard line if he was on fire today.

Edit: Found it, go to :58 second mark if you can stomach it.

2000 against the Hogs in Starkville in the sleet.

Arkansas sucked, we had a return trip to ATL on the line, and anything that could’ve possibly gone wrong in that game went wrong. Those that ended up sticking it out through OT and the 30 degree sleet were rewarded with a half dozen hogs doing the dog pound rock at midfield

2000 vs Arkansas. Go ahead field goal blocked. Lose in overtime. Coldest I've ever been at the game. I believe had we won that game and Ole Miss (which we lost also) we would have gone back to Atlanta.

98 SEC Championship.

17 Bama. We were absolutely hosed in that game.

edit to add for reading comprehension. It’s 2 different games. SEC against TN, and 2017 game against Bama when we were manhandling them until the refs took over. Also 17 Bama.

99 Bama and Ark game. I was so hopeful... so naive.

2014 Bama... I allowed myself to dream again , only to be kicked in the nuts again.

2014 egg bowl was a disappointment but didn't bother me as much. Kirk herbstreit told us days early MSU wasn't getting in... OhSt was.

Shouldn’t 2014 Ole Miss be the default answer? Took away the ticket to the big show.
I would say 2014 Alabama.

If we go 11-1 with a loss to Alabama and a win over Ole Miss, maybe we make the field of 4 (Archie Manning, who was on the committee, has said he thinks we would have), but it's hard to believe they wouldn't bump us out for Ohio State like they did to TCU/Baylor.

But if we were 11-1 with win over Alabama and a loss to Ole Miss, we play in the SEC Championship Game, and with a win there, we safely make the field, probably as the #2 seed, meaning we play Florida State in the semifinal, probably win, and have a shot at the whole thing against Ohio State.

2014 Bama.

I will never enter that godforsaken place again.

Ever.
May not be the most important loss but it's one I can't get over.

I love Dak and the Cowboys. I feel like I relive the pro version of that game every-time the Cowboys make the playoffs. I'm still a believer in both which probably makes me crazy.

That’s the most miserable I’ve ever been at a football game home and away. All of the things you mentioned plus Pig broke his leg. The season was over at that point.

2009 LSU and 2011 Auburn. I was 100% all the way in on Mullen in those early years and those two L’s at the goal line hurt bad.

2014 egg bowl is probably top of the list for obvious reasons.

2017 Alabama is a pretty close second. We outplayed them the whole game. I’ve never felt like a WR changed the game so much as Ridley did that night.

Hard to pick just one from States cursed history.

But the 2018 season as a whole hurts to think about and hasn’t been mentioned yet. Moorhead took that Ferrari lit it on fire and proceeded to drive it right into the Tombigbee River. The losses against UK, Florida, LSU, and the absolute worst of all the bowl game against Iowa were all fireable offenses. Returned a senior laden offense that was humming previously in 2017 along with one of if not the most talented defenses to ever grace Scott Field and served up the most underwhelming season I can remember.

2010.

SEC Tournament Championship.

Kentucky.

Whether it was just flat incompetence by Referees or the game was rigged, that is a game I will never get over.

The “Stand” game. That one because of how I was treated leaving the stadium. Not even in the worst high school hell hole in Mississippi has ever been that bad before or since. I have never been back to a Game on that campus and never will.
