Which (post 1960) Husky Football downturn was hardest on you mentally?

August 1993 was completely devastating for me. But December 2007 was equally devastating, and it led me for the first time to root against Washington in a football game. (Cal)

You should write a book about it

Ty and Sark killed a little bit of my soul. Sark having the guys do the ‘Lawn Mower’ on the sideline was when I almost quit.
The last two losses have hurt, especially the way it happened, however, last season was great, and I truly believe the future is bright in the B1G

Sark making us wear white pants at home about killed me. I get it, Nike (lol) had issues getting the gold pants to work, but we looked so stupid with white pants and purple jerseys. When we wore that combo one time in 2022 under DeBoer I knew we were going to lose, and we did.

Pup actually suggested that to Derek just a few years ago. I'm still not sure if he was really that ignorant about the book. Was probably yanking our chains, but was still funny.

I was laying the ground work for a divorce in 2007- 08. I was angry AF and fighting for my freedom. Owen was an afterthought.

I bought into the everything matters & clempson west hype that the TBSers were peddling. I was sure they knew their shit and Jimmy was gonna break through the glass ceiling that peterman just couldn’t seem to get past. Then Montana happened. I swore off gay porn and teen boi stalking forever. My doog heart and doog dong shriveled up and apathy set in. Deboner brought me back from the brink, and then the January ‘24 mass exodus sent me back down to the depths once more.

It would easily be the mid 90s for me if I hadn't gotten so distracted by life…jobs, drugs and booze, sex, and eventually kids. I kind of checked out in 1995 and didn't come back until late 2000 when my one year marriage fell apart.

Those NY6 Peach, Fiesta & Rose bowls lost by Pete and players opting out were pretty fucking disappointing, especially for guys like Gaskin, who played his heart out through the last second of each game.

From 1986 thru to Ty being the coach head guy (I don't know what to use) I never missed a game or left early. That changed during those years. It all became meh - game this weekend. Then the changing kick off times, a two hour commute after the game at 2 am in the morning -
Good news is my liver has survived
