I'm right there with you. I threw an ottoman through our living room window when Bryce Petty tripped over the 5 yard line in Stillwater. It got very quiet at my house when that happened.

---

Wait, what? I'm dying over here. Please tell me this happened for real...

I felt that pain though. I still feel that pain.

---

Oh, it happened. The way I know I didn't dream it is my wife and kids talk about it every season while watching the first road game.

My defense is I wasn't trying to "throw" it. I was "moving it out of the way" and it slipped.

---

That's really funny!

That's USC game at home sucked.......best 8-3 team I've ever seen. Criushed LSU in Liberty Bowl.....

---

Yep. That long fumble return td killed us.

Wasn't LSU top 10 in game?

---

LSU was co-SEC champs that year. Dalton Hillard was their stud RB. I believe they had only lost 1 game in regular season. BU dominated...but even then SEC claims of disinterest were in evidence...I recall those well.

I was the first to go to college...no help from parents...worked three jobs...loved my time at BU. I cried when we beat BYU 40-36 (my first game) and cried when we lost to USC 17-14 and SMU 24-20 and loved life when we beat SMU 21-14 and Arky 24-21

I take BU sports way too seriously and personal AND I don't care. I need a support group. Anyone?

---

Yep. Let me know the time & place.........

...a season ticket holder for years & years. I have been known to leave in the middle of a game, return, then leave, & return at the end to collect my family (including away games & bowl games I'm ashamed to say).

I rarely can watch an entire game on tv, win or lose. (DVR all games.)

I stand corrected - LSU was 9-1-1 and ranked #10 in the AP

---

Yep
They were far from average
1 win from winning SEC and going to the sugar bowl
2 high round draft picks at RB. All American center, LB.
You had to have a great resume to get a bowl game back then. Only 20 bowls

---

I attended the Liberty bowl. Glorious win. The LSU fans were shocked.

If I recall that was the game difference. The real freakish thing is that the same occurrence would happen 2 more times in the future after that. It occurred against Tech, in 91 I believe, and then the infamous UNLV game.

---

More recently, in 2015, TCU recovered a fumble and ran it in for a TD. It wasn't 99 yards but it was the only score of either team in the second half and tied the game up resulting in 2 OT's. If not for that, no OT's and Baylor would have won. I'm not sure how, if at all, that might have affected the team the next week with Texas coming to Waco but imagine if we had ended that season with only 1 loss.

Yes, those SEC excuses for postseason losses are so lame. I don't know why anyone would believe such blatant, obvious lies. It's almost as absurd as saying that Bama lost to Clemson this year for a similar reason.

The sooner you quit letting any team mean too much, the happier you'll be.

I remember at the end of the first half against USC, we were about to punch in a short TD run to take command of the game. USC I believe had one first down the entire first half. Unfortunately, our RB fumbled the ball in the air directly to a USC defensive player who ran 99 yards for the score. I have never forgotten that play and how a defense can be utterly dominating the other team and still lose the game.

I loved Teaff, but he got a lot of heat for being overly conservative on offense in those years. It seemed we would move the ball at will between the 30s and just go conservative near the red zone. The defenses were a sight to behold.

---

PS--In defense of Teaff, I recall his using lots of goal-line leaps, fakes and wizardry by Alfred Anderson and Allen Rice. They were wonderful to behold.

---

And later, JJ Joe. I remember one very exciting home win against GA Tech in 1992 (?) where he would fake a handoff, and drop back, hiding the ball behind his back. The GA Tech defense had no idea where the ball was. Easy TD.

Those 85 and 86 teams were as good as anyone in the country. It's disgusting that some of those excruciating losses were to cheating A&M and SMU teams.
