    What about the home loss to LSU? UW gets a garbage touchdown at the end of regulation to secure a single digit home loss, and Sark gets a close to standing ovation. Then, he gives his Obama type presser explaining that close isn't good enough, then travel 3 years later and he explains how they were almost 9-4.

    At Arizona 2012. Others may have been more painful or humiliating, but that was the most Sark loss of them all. Disastrous performance on the road against a mediocre team. Ran the ball like 3 times in the first half while throwing it 53. Doogs defending the playcalling saying UA was terrible against the pass, ignoring the fact that a) our passing game sucked b) they were even worse against the run.

    I gave up on Sark long before that loss, but that one epitomized the era better than any other.

    Not my favorite because a dragged my dumb ass to that game.

    LSU D line taunting the UW O line between players. Never thought I'd see the day....

    18 of the 25 losses have been by double-digits, and only 4 were by less than a TD... Sarky loves the plunger.

    2011 - Stanford (21-65) - 44
    2010 - Stanford (0-41) - 41
    2012 - LSU (3-41) - 38
    2010 - Oregon (16-53) - 37
    2010 - Nebraska (21-56) - 35
    2012 - Arizona (17-52) - 35
    2012 - Oregon (21-52) - 31
    2010 - Arizona (14-44) - 30
    2009 - OSU (21-48) - 27
    2009 - Oregon (19-43) - 24
    2011 - USC (17-40) - 23
    2009 - Stanford (14-34) - 20
    2011 - Oregon (17-34) - 17
    2011 - OSU (21-38) - 17
    2011 - Nebraska (38-51) - 13
    2011 - Baylor (56-67) - 11
    2010 - ASU (14-24) - 10
    2012 - USC (14-24) - 10
    2009 - LSU (23-31) - 8
    2009 - ASU (17-24) - 7
    2009 - ND (30-37) - 7
    2010 - BYU (17-23) - 6
    2012 - WSU (28-31) - 3
    2012 - Boise St. (26-28) - 2
    2009 - UCLA (23-24) - 1

    Note: A good chunk of the 'close losses' were in his first season...

    And there is something memorable about all of those close losses.

    WSU- Choke Job

    Boise St.- Lawnmower

    ND- The Lockner sneaks

    LSU- Celebrated defeat

    ASU- Stellar prevent defense

    UCLA- Force 5 turnovers and still lose

    BYU- Lockner throws deep on 4th and short into tight coverage

    I'm not going to pitch on Sark in close games as his record appears pretty good in those games.

    My problem with Sark is we are just as close to winning a conference title as we were with Ty.

    Against bad teams who UW should blow out they allow the game to be close and if its on the road flat lose.

    If they are playing a good to average team on the road the flat don't compete and get blown out.

    In year four you shouldn't be losing three games by 30+ points.

    Sark has developed some bad trends. Gets blown out 3+ times a year, has a mid season 3+ game losing streak, only defeats terrible OOC opponents and on the road rarely wins. If he does win on the road typically in some nail biter, most likely gets blown out.

    I'm shocked that last year's Apple Cup hasn't been brought up yet. In a litany of unexcusable losses, either through shitting the bed or just shitty coaching, blowing an 18-point 4th quarter lead to the last place team in a shitty conference has to be the worst...at least for me anyways.

    Other than the annoyance of getting texts and calls from Coug fans I barely talk to, I really didn't even care when we lost to WSU. Even if Coons would have hit the FG, it made no difference. We played like shit to a terrible team, just like we did against Cal and Colorado. I'm basically numb to shitty football. I expect it every time we play on the road.

    I lost at least $15k betting on that game so.....it's one of my least favorite losses. But it was one of the games that really opened my eyes to what Sark was bringing to the table. He showed ZERO ability to change his tactics, and showed that he's a N/one trick pony.....

    EVERY blowout loss, and EVERY loss attributed to crappy coaching toward the end of the game, are my "favorite's"...if favorite means most hated!

    For me it's the 2011 game against Stanford. Here we are, 5-1, ranked #25 in the country, 9-1 in our last ten games, thinking we're the shit. Stanford comes out and runs the same power running play with the guard pulling, and racks up 446 yards rushing and 65 points. We put all 11 players in the box and they still got 10 ypc. Classic.
