You guys, we caught a break.

UMass was looking past us and had their eye on Maine, this coming Saturday.

Is it sad that when thinking back to the Croom era, there were just so many absolute debacles that it’s hard to even decide which one was the worst? 40-0 egg bowl, 3-2 Auburn game, Maine... I mean, how do you choose?

45-0 EggBowl***

45-0 was the high point.

Lord...

Being the glutton for punishment that I am, I went back and looked, and there were three in 2006 alone. Didn’t score a single point until week 3, blew a big lead against Tulane, and then the infamous Athens debacle.

Never will I understand going for it on 4th and 4 from midfield only to punt on 4th and 2 on Georgia’s side of the field. I don’t remember the exact yardage, but it was something like that, and it was one of the most perplexing coaching decisions I have ever witnessed

 

[Philly Dawg]

Do you remember when we got a turnover, ran it back 40-45 yards, and then fumbled it back to them?

We didn't blow a big lead against Tulane, we were down 32-7 in the 3rd and came back to make it 32-29. Yesterday, I felt bad about the game and only winning by 11, then I remembered the Croom years and felt very good because we won by 11.

45-37 Egg Bowl. Their 45 points vs. our 37 yards if memory serves me. Good grief that was a miserable football game.

 

[FlotownDawg]

That was the low point of the Croom era for me. Sitting in the stadium watching a Tulane team that hadn’t played a home game for a year because of hurricane Katrina, work us and be up 32-7 in the third quarter was the most embarrassed I’ve ever felt as a State fan.

Gosh I had blocked all of this out of my memory.....
Thanks for bringing it back up!
