Most painful Husky losses that you remember

Definitely '95 Notre Dame. 99 UCLA because I made my parents promise me they'd take me to the rose bowl if we went. The tie vs USC that cost us the PAc10. I still say the loss to Nevada because that was a huge omen of things to come and pretty much ruined my night. Personally, the 05 Apple cup really really stung because I started college in 02 having huge hopes for the program while I was there. And working for the team my junior senior year, I just remember walking up the tunnel cussing up a storm realizing that my upperclassmen years at UW we went 3-19.

good call on '99 UCLA. I was in a similar position as you. I would have been at the Rose Bowl if we won that one. At least I got to go the next year.

re: '04 AZ... Because Napoleon Kaufman and Lincoln Kennedy were inducted into the Husky HOF at halftime, and the surreal scene of empty seats and a shitty football team were hard for me to take.

That makes more sense. I'll say the 2011 Oregon game was tough in that regard too. How piss poorly they handled honoring the 1991 Huskies team.

Seeing what we used to be while watching our rivals become what we once were. I know you even wrote a good article on that.

I was at the 99 UCLA game. A dude was passing around a sign up sheet for people that would be interested iin a rose bowl trip package.

1990 Colorado didn't bother me. I felt UW lost to a very good team on the road and played them right to the wire. I felt the team was on the verge of great things.

I remember them passing around roses in the winning locker room after defeating Arizona and thinking about the 1990 feeling I had when UW had to host UCLA. I thought it was a terrible omen.

At least the next year we made up for it with a Rose Bowl win.

Only time I was ever happy after a loss was Hawaii in 2007 as I thought for sure that was the final nail in the Tyrone coffin.

When Ty was announced for a year four that was easily the most devastated I felt in the past decade. I couldn't believe it at all.

I hated the hire but when after year three when they looked at all the evidence to bring that fucker back when Mora was sitting right fucking there in town I was so pissed.
