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?

    The Natty was all but iced in 1990. I dont see how you can pick anything over a home loss to a bad team that cost a sure NC.

    2000 at Oregon would be #2 for me. At least that was a good duck team though.

    1992 at Arizona and at WSU were not real surprising losses for me. The Huskies were still good but far from great. The defensive team speed we were used to from 1990 and 1991 had mostly moved on, as had Empterman who was irreplaceable as a one man plug on the interior dl. Zona was just real good, was playing at home, and was playing Lambo's defense better than Lambo's guys were.

    How quickly they forget.

    Miami and Washington tracked each other for two seasons back then. First in 1990. Miami lost in a freak shootout to the Detmer Mormons in Provo and then to No. 6 Notre Dame at their house. If Washington gets one of two losses back, then so does Miami.

    At the end of the year, there wasn't a nastier team in the country to play than Miami. The ass kicking they put on a good Texas team in their own backyard is fucking legendary, love 'em, hate 'em, whatever. You don't spot the other guy over 220 yards in personal foul penalties, basically begging the refs to make you lose, and still limit them to a field goal w/o being pretty tuff. There wasn't a team in the country that would have beaten them that day. Every single Miami hater I knew was wearing burnt orange that day, just sure Miami was going to be a no-show because of the 2 losses. One of my favorite games of all tim. That was a pretty good Texas team too.
    You mean that was a GOOD Texas team.
    Yes, that is what I meant.

    Who?

    *We? retroactively beat the 1990 and 1991 Miami teams in their house in 1994 and again in 2000. That iced the hypothetical discussion about the hypothetically one loss teams in 1990 and undefeated 1991 teams. Check your notes creep.

    My notes say Miami smokes any team in the country in January of 1990. That was a nasty team that let a few games go. But it was loaded and capable of badness when focused, and that day it was focused and pissed about being in a shit-tier Cotton Bowel with Tejas, who was talking all manner of shit before the game and who got a lesson in shit talk they'll never forget.

    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.

    It was Dennis Brown. I was one angry teenager. The only game that ever literally gave me a headache. I was convinced the refs were intentionally screwing us. And UCLA didn't march down the field -- they threw a 48 yard TD pass about two plays later.
