Key moments when things slipped away from Ron Zook:
1. FRAT FIASCO
Zook went to the Pi Kappa Phi house Sept.16 hoping to defuse a situation in which some of his players were in a dispute with fraternity members over a scuffle earlier that day. Instead, according to witnesses, Zook threatened to "do anything in my power to take this house down" and told one student, "Oh, you're going to get yours."
2. SLAP IN THE FACE
Florida led Tennessee 28-27 with 55 seconds left Sept.18 when Dallas Baker was penalized 15 yards for retaliation. The Vols player, who started the exchange by hitting Baker, was not penalized. What's more, officials incorrectly stopped the clock until Eric Wilbur punted from the 23, leaving Tennessee time to drive for the winning field goal.
3. TIGER TUMBLE
The Gators blew a 14-point lead Oct.9, and LSU's Joseph Addai scored on a 10-yard reception with 27 seconds left in a 24-21 loss, ending any realistic hopes for winning the SEC East.
4. DOG DAYS
Jerious Norwood scored on a 37-yard run with 32 seconds left to give Mississippi State a 38-31 victory. The Bulldogs entered 1-5, including losses to Vanderbilt and I-AA Maine.
