Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Is 1990 UCLA the most painful loss in UW football history?

When it single-handedly costs you a national championship, and the opponent is awful, I can't imagine a loss stinging more. Glad I can't remember that one! What were some other heartbreakers?

    That one sucked ass the most.

    Other dishonorable mentions: 1990 Colorado, 1992 Arizona, 1992 WSU (Bledsoe was good, but we? should have stuck with running Darius Turner up the gut), 1995 ND (left their receiver uncovered for an easy TD - FML).

    There are many more, but those ones jump out at me at the moment. I'm sure others will chime in with some other steaming turds that should have never happened.

    Another one that really bugs me is the 1988 UCLA game. One of our? defensive linemen got pushed to the ground and rolled onto Aikman's foot. Aikman did his best acting and it drew a roughing-the-passer penalty. They had just thrown incomplete on a 3rd down. It gave them a fresh set of downs and they marched down the field for a TD, winning 24-17.

    Yes, the wefs scwewed us, but it was such a bullshit call.

    Hard to beat UCLA for most painful but the back to back Apple Cup losses in the early 80s cost us back to back Rose Bowl trips that would have made a three peat. Those were not good WSU teams.

    Too long ago for most folks here

    What's up Chuck!!

    The 82 Apple Cup hurt me more than the UCLA loss
