Name a loss by a hated college rival that did NOT make you happy

[963BUSC]

Sorry but the other thread was bugging me. I'm trying to think of times that ucla or ND lost and I didn't laugh. I mean I really had to think to see if there were any. What I came up were:

In 2003 ND lost to Syracuse, had ND won the whole LSU vs USC controversy wouldn't have happened as SC would have played in the BCS championship game, so that's one.

In 2005 ucla was undefeated 8-0 heading into their game with Arizona, USC was taking a bit of a beating for playing a cream puff schedule so a match vs an undefeated UCLA would have looked good on their resume. Unfortunately Arizona exposed ucla beating them 52-14, and ended any chance of respectability.

In hmmm, Ok I can't think of the third one, but I will keep trying. Really I'm still kind of happy about both of the above losses. I mean who can't look at a 52-14 loss by your rival and laugh.

his foot is clearly out of bounds Todd Boeckman can attest for it he is the dude getting trucked
#17 right there getting completely trucked

For me, that 2003 ND loss to Syracuse is the only one. I have rooted for the Irish one time and one time only and it was that game!! After that game, I swore it would never happen again because those bastards can't even lose right!!

I'm one of the few Bama fans who doesn't automatically hate Auburn, though I always pull for Auburn to lose when facing the Tide. Probably because my dad went to both schools, and I'm a UNA grad.

Team SEC at it's finest.

Not really. I don't pull for Auburn or other teams, but nor do I hate any of them.

no specifics here, but when its middle-late season, and we're sitting with 0 or 1 loss, and we've got someone coming up in a couple weeks who is undefeated or creeping up the rankings, but then they lose before we play them....I don't like that

This.

I would rather face an undefeated scUM team then lose the week before.

when Nevada lost to Hawai'i a few years ago while they were ranked and unbeaten

any time Fresno State makes a bowl

Most of Hawai'i's recent blowout losses

actually a lot of losses by these teams

guess I'd rather us beat our rivals than anyone else

Impossible

USC losing to Notre Dame 2012.

You channeled your emotions from that loss into one of the most classic threads on the hoop though, so it wasn't all negative.
