Most disappointing plungerings

The 65-21 game and 41-0 game against Stanford sum up so much of what was wrong with the Sark regime.

It takes me 2.5 hours to drive up for the games. I was in my seat less than 1.5 hours and was swilling beer at Schultzy's before end of halftime.
 
2003 @ Cal ...lost 54-7 while needing a win to secure a bowl.

Was that the game that ended the Husky win streak against Cal?

2002 @ Husky Stadium ended the streak (27-34).

Funny, I did that from 1990 earlier this week with my duck friend. He's only 24 years old so all he knows is the Ducks are good. Doesn't know anything about the pick. But I had to explain why I still think we get plungered by Oregon.
 
Not that the game meant anything anyway and I was only in middle school but didn't Air Force plunger us? in the Hawaii (or Oahu) Bowl the year after we plungered Saban's sparty team? Those mid-late 90s teams all kinda bleed together for me.

Yeah, Aloha Bowl at the end of the 1998 season. Plungering by AFA got Lambo shitcanned.

Perhaps poetically, Air Force also administered the first beating of the Willingham Era, at Husky Stadium. I recall it being a nice day and the fly-over by the F15s was cool. That was the best thing that could be said of the next 4 years of Husky football.

I was at the the Clink for that game. After the first quarter my friend leans over to me and says "I feel the losing setting in again. Don't you?" I didn't disagree and eight more losses later we? had successfully lost 19 of our last 22 games. Christ.
 
1997 classy Nebraska. Top ranked (almost) Washington at home in the lid lifter and we're off sanctions and we're back and the place is rocking and the crowed is crazy and the Huskers run a 70 yard full back dive and we get boat raced.

A not so classy Husker twists Brock Huard ankle, the back one that he needed to throw off of, and Tui burns his redshirt.

Fucking Lambo manages to lose a few more that year as well including a last play loss to whOregon lol fuck off suicide.gif
 
So many fond memories. So hard to choose. At least in the '97 Nebraska game Pathon arrived. I believe it was Christian Peters who pulled the Gaines on Huard...not that I remember that game after 19 years... btw, @CokeGreaterThanPepsi stadium was electric, pre-game was amped. Awesome September day.

I was at Haas during the 54-7 game. Literally the first game I've ever seen where a team quit on the 2nd play of the game.

SC 45 UW 0 at halftime in the Colesium in 2008 was special. Randomly crushing beers in the parking lot next to Shane P and Tommy Smith was a highlight.

Stanford 65 UW 7 was special and a good miss. I had a chance to attend and passed. I was so dooged up I wanted to watch it on TV.

JJ Stokes murdering UWs secondary was the first heartbreak I remember while living in NorCal.

So many to choose from

Jesus. Fuck.

I had put that shit out of my mind.

190 yards receiving and 4 TDs for JJ Stokes that day. It sure felt like more.

And then the bastard goes and beats possibly the most stacked Stanford Cardinal team in forever. Only other team to beat them was the title game runner ups.

It was Hook Great Grant Wistrom.
 
But seriously the 2001 Miami game and it isn't close. We were one year removed from a semi legitimate argument at a spot in the natty game. Earliest I ever turned a UW game off.
 
@AIRWOLF's are really good.

Fucking Lambo and Gilby get such a fucking pass from Husky fans. They both were slap-dicks.

Right! Wistrom. Peters was on that team too though, right?

People forget that Air Force team was 12-1. The loss in 2005 was so much worse.
 
Did the team quit against Miami or just get physically assaulted? Because they definitely quit against Cal in 03, and that shit was worse than the entire Willingham era.
 
The 2012 lsu game looked like toddlers vs the seahawks. I was dooging tuff after we got that field goal, but was blacked out by the 3rd quarter.

Caged tiger, never forget

12-1 in the WAC with a SOS in the 100s. But yeah, they were a good team.
 
Good god, how could I have forgotten the prison gang rape in Miami in 2001?

65-7 and not that close.
Click to expand...

This was the one that sticks out for me.

Some of the others I didn't even care so much as I'd already given up on the coach and hoped a quick end.

But this was coming off the 11-1 season and we were 8-2 going in and just indeed got prison gang raped.

FYFMFE

pretty sure ABC turned it off in the 3rd quarter and switched to an actual game
 
How about the 97 home loss to Nebraska when Tui brought us back to within 7 and Lambright calls an onside kick that goes out of bounds leaving Nebraska a short field to seal it.

I was stunned.

After the game Lame said he wanted to change the momentum. We'd scored 14 straight on the last two possessions.

Well he changed it alright.
