Most disappointing plungerings

Given the theme of the week, I thought this might be fun(?) to revisit.
There have been a whole shit ton of them over the years, but the ones that stand out most to me were the ones that caught me off guard. There are surely at least a dozen other "great" examples, but these three stick out most to me.
3. 1996 vs. Notre Dame. Huskies went into South Bend ranked #16 to play Notre Dame (#11 at the time) and were brutalized 54-20.
2. 1995 Sun Bowl vs. Iowa. I told a buddy of mine who went to UVA that the Huskies were "going to drop a double nickle" on Iowa. Dawgs got run, badly, by fucking Iowa, well after Hayden Fry had lost it as a coach. 38-18
1. 2011 at Stanford Huskies came into the game 5-1 and ranked #22. They had lost at Nebraska 51-38, but I told myself that game had been closer than the score. "Sure, Holt's defense has issues, but they are getting them figured out, " I lied to myself, quite blatantly. All time plungering: 65-21.

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

More than the inevitable three game mid-season skids or the repeated trips to the desert that looked like footage from the Hills Have Eyes that had to be cut because they were "just too much"?doogsinparadise said:The 65-21 game and 41-0 game against Stanford sum up so much of what was wrong with the Sark regime.
Maybe.

2008 Oklahoma. UW would have lost 100 out of 100. Didn't think I would ever see UW with zero shot.
2011 @ LSU. Really thought UW had a shot to pull the upset. Fuck I'm an idiot.
2012? @ Oregon State. No Teeth Price? No worries. Montana was better than Heaps anyway. Fucking ASJ had a drop for the win. Winners win. Losers lose.

2003 @ Cal ...lost 54-7 while needing a win to secure a bowl.

Good god, how could I have forgotten the prison gang rape in Miami in 2001?
65-7 and not that close. -

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.

Sark was like the game of golf. He had a few good shots (USC, Nebraska bowl game, beating Coogs) to keep me coming back. But really I am just a shitty golfer (every other game Sark coached).doogsinparadise said:The 65-21 game and 41-0 game against Stanford sum up so much of what was wrong with the Sark regime.
