Football loss you'd most like to have back?

[EAGLEMAN]

What is “have back?” Another chance to play the game (another CHANCE to win), or which loss would we most like to have won? Because, for me, that’s two different answers.

If it is the latter, no doubt UGA in 2015. No win against an App, NC State, Umass, Furman, Texas State etc., would have meant more to the program than beating the Bulldogs.

2007 Furman in Paulson. Coming off of the disaster 2006 season( my Freshman year), the 2007 season would have been very mediocre without Jayson Foster at QB, however, we were somehow on the verge of a conference championship ( if I remember correctly) and a playoff bid. No doubt Foster would have done well in the postseason. The energy in Paulson was electric and IMO the final field goal was good. Then watching Furple celebrate on our field was just depressing.

Fun fact: For GS to win the conference I think Wofford had to lose that same night and we had to beat Furman. Which ever team had to lose( I believe it was Wofford) ended up losing and their game was over by halftime of our game. I thought we should have announced the results over the stadium PA at halftime but we didn’t. I was at the concessions during second half and actually saw Sam Baker, approached him, and spoke my mind about that.

Half the stadium wouldn't have heard it anyway.

One I haven't seen mentioned, '12 Citadel (whipped our fannies) - we were ranked #1 iirc, with a FG kicker (or just better game) our playoff seed may have been higher and we don't have to play in Fargo.

I’m tired of threads about losses.

I’m ready for What’s Important Now.

I’m ready to watch and cheer for our team to go from Good to Great!

He’s DEFINITELY one of the greatest. IMO, there are only “possible” contenders for GOAT.

I used to think AP was the no-doubt GOAT until Armanti Edwards.

Ditto.

I know Armanti Edward's was the best football player I saw play against Georgia Southern.

How many people posting? Just curious.

I'd like to have the WEST Georgia loss back, myself.

2005 Texas State

That loss set the program back 5 years and led to arguably the worst hire (Summers is right up there) in the history of the program. It also gave App State an opening that they ran through and stole a lot of what might have been GS's recruits and ultimately success.
