4th & 27 still haunts me and was another time the Tigers ripped my heart out of my chest. I had headed from my seat to the end of the stadium to congratulate the team once the game was over. Longest walk back to my vehicle ever.

I remember the stunned silence of everyone walking out without saying a word.
I also remember a game like 20 years ago where Louisville QB Chris Redman converted multiple 4th downs on a long last minute drive to score on a pass on the last play of the game to beat us by a point. The next day or so video surfaced showing the ball had skipped into the sliding receivers arms for the td. I think about that play everytime replay holds up the game today. Wish we had it 20 years ago.
Two plays in the 1992 season: Pass interference penalty on 3rd down @ USM to allow them to extend a drive and kick a FG to win. Receiver was out of bounds, but flag still came out. The next game, we snap the ball over the punter's head against Louisville late in the 4th qtr. We had that game in the bag, all we had to do was kick it away, pinning them back deep and they run out of time. Those 2 plays were the difference between an 8-3 record (with a bowl), and 6-5 with no bowl.
Also, Tee Martin's long pass to set up a score in the 1999 game at Knoxville. We've got the Vols on the ropes 2nd time in a row, and pinned back deep on their end of the field. Time running out, Tee Martin is about to be sacked, and he gets a long pass away because our DB has broken off coverage because he thought Martin was going to be sacked. That play was the difference between [/i]a 6-5, and a 5-6 record that year.
That Louisville game in 98 or 99 was pretty bad also. Louisville QB Chris Redman threw a last second (I think) TD pass to beat the Tigers. Totally a lucky play for the win.
4 and 27. I still remember that ******* from Cincy doing the bowling motion in front of our fans. But I don't hate Cincinnati- they aren't really relevant in anything enough to bother hating. [/u]

They were hated in basketball with Huggins there. Of course the year they beat us 4 times was the worse. For the grammar checkers I just did an upgrade to IOS version 12.0.1(beta) and I have no comma period or curser. I get the periods by double spacing. So have at it.

Which was worse, 4th & 27 or 4th & 2?
