Mine is this:
2006 (season) BCS title game. OSU-Florida.
I had just been told, a few days earlier,.that I had to move out of my uncle’s house. I was living in Marrero, LA, across the river from New Orleans. I was basically left with no choice but to move in with this WILD dude who liked to bring home ladies of the night and “hang out” until 2am. And no, I did not partake, because I wasn’t interested in STD’s from women with missing teeth.
The bar next door had Tennessee and LSU items plastered on the walls. Separated, of course, because they are still conference foes, but even though the owner is a Vols fan, he has to acknowledge and appease the local fanbase while still repping his team. Lol
And the color combo was hideous, even if it was just banners, metal signs, and framed posters.
The game fell on my birthday. I was the only Buckeye (or Big 10) fan in the place. Surrounded by LSU and Tennessee fans rooting for Florida as they crushed the Buckeyes. Obnoxiously rooting for Florida, just like I obnoxiously went nuts after Ginn took that opening kick to the house.
My dad piled on, because he hates Ohio State. He had been living down there for a year, and converted to an LSU fan, and he loves ragging on me whenever the Buckeyes lose.
Uniquely bad week for me, and with it being my birthday, a uniquely bad day. Because they didn’t just cheer for Florida…I was basically heckled until I finished my beer and left. 🤣
I can laugh about it in hindsight, but that day, it was soul-crushing.
