WVU Football (2007) Ranked 2nd in the BCS and needed to win against Pitts (28½ points favorite) to play a spot the in BCS Championship, lost 13-9.
WVU Men's Basketball (2010) Won their first Big East Tournament Championship in school history and beats #1 Kentucky to reach the final four since the Jerry West era, lost to Duke 78-57 to finished 3rd in the polls.
Atlanta Braves (2020), led a 3-1 against the Dodgers and needed one more win to play in the World Series, lost 3 straight. (4-3). Honestly, this team is such a curse.
Miami Dolphins We had our up and down since we haven't won a playoffs game in a while, but my favorite is 2008. Where the Jets wanted Brett Favre and Chad Pennington signed with us. Led us to an 11-5 turnaround (after a 1-15 in 2006), and gave a finger to the Jets by defeated them in the final game to win the AFC title 24-17). Yeah, we lost in the first round, but it was a nice season to witnessed.
