A loss that hurt

Can you remember a game that started the process of ripping your heart out as a Husky fan?
Mine? Cal in 2002. Dawgs hadn’t lost to Cal since 1976. Nnamdi Asomugha bodied Reggie and Kyle Boller ripped it on us. Total shock. They actually did it.
It was a given that we’d never lose to Cal. Neuhiesal’s team was becoming pass-happy and soft. Mediocrity was starting to set in and it sucked.

Many of the losses under Petersen make the list. I can't really call anything between 1997 and 2014 real disappointing because my expectations were low. Maybe the Sun bowl vs Purdue, or the 2000 loss at Oregon would make it.
1990 UCLA hurt for completely different reasons knowing that a win likely meant a national title … Greg Lewis getting hurt and Mark Brunell not knowing how to throw the football is something that I’ll never feel great about …
1992 Arizona because as a teenager I was in the mindset that UW had a big swinging duck and didn’t lose to ANYBODY … much less Arizona … grown up me would have bet heavy on Arizona that week
1995 USC turning a 21-0 lead into a come from ahead tie to lose out on the Rose Bowl … that was way more impactful than some of the other games like the Ortege flip game
There have been a handful of games that left me shaking my head (notably during the Sark years) … but few games have left me where a walk for perspective didn’t do the trick
3 straight conference champions and even this lazy staff doesn't have to fight SC and Oregon for west coast blue chips.
Chaser: 2015 in Tempe the next year. Fuck Petersen.
1995 Tie at Home vs. SC. Up 21-0 and Lambo offensively went into a complete shell, and prevent defense when we had clearly lost momentum and did nothing about it. Always wondered had we went back to RB and that, coupled with expectations and talent on 96 team if it could have been start of another run.
2003 Nevada: I knew that was the low for the program, just never expected it to keep bouncing along it for 6-8 years.
Still haunts me.
