For me it's the 2011 game against Stanford. Here we are, 5-1, ranked #25 in the country, 9-1 in our last ten games, thinking we're the shit. Stanford comes out and runs the same power running play with the guard pulling, and racks up 446 yards rushing and 65 points. We put all 11 players in the box and they still got 10 ypc. Classic.

    That one was terrible. The second half of the Nebraska game that year was almost as bad. Both teams would run off tackle every play. We knew it was coming, but were so soft they would still get 8-10 yards each time.

    Which kick in the sack did you like best? Really?

    When a decade of football mediocrity is inevitable, you might as well lay back and enjoy it.

    For me it's 2011 at Oregon State. I never really liked the Sark hire but remained open minded. In 2010 UW had so many blowout losses I wished they had fired him then but still he won a bowl game which we hadn't done in a decade.

    Then in 2011 all be it smoke and mirrors started off 5-1 so I was willing to admit I could be wrong. Then the blowouts started to happen. My doog friends kept telling me he is only losing to teams that are really good which at the time at Nebraska, at Stanford, vs Oregon and at USC so I was like whatever.

    Then 2011 we travel to a terrible Oregon State team that lost so Sacramento State that year. The team obviously wasn't prepared at all. Sark proclaimed Price was too hurt to start. Then first quarter UW did okay as Polk had 12 carries.

    We couldn't stop them so Sark ditched the Run as Polk had only 11 carries the final 3 quarters. He continues to stick with the ineffective Montana who keep in mind was Sark's recruit.

    Then as the Huskies are getting blown out in the 4th quarter by 17 points, Sark puts in Price which made no sense. If Price wasn't healthy enough to start, play when the game is tied or only trail by 7 then why is he okay to play down 17???

    Carroll had started Whitehurst a month earlier then pulled him after 3 series for T-Jack. I remember on twitter Softy going off on Carroll "How can you say he's not healthy enough to start but yet you play him?!!". Yet didn't say one fucking word about Sark's decision.

    At that point I realized this coach can't even beat bad teams on the road, that every year he personally will lose at least one game by his terrible coaching.

    Agree. I was in the west end, remember vividly Locker dropping back, his first throw of the game, and I'm surveying the field from his point of view. Receiver cuts left across the middle. He's blanketed by the corner and the safety is keying on him. There is no window. My eyes start to look for the next read and then... Oh my god... Jake's locked on and throwing... Cringe... Pick.

    Blackshirts go wild. That was it. This team was beat. I think Nebraska scored like 3 plays later.

    At Arizona 2012. Others may have been more painful or humiliating, but that was the most Sark loss of them all. Disastrous performance on the road against a mediocre team. Ran the ball like 3 times in the first half while throwing it 53. Doogs defending the playcalling saying UA was terrible against the pass, ignoring the fact that a) our passing game sucked b) they were even worse against the run.

    I gave up on Sark long before that loss, but that one epitomized the era better than any other.

    I still can't believe the Titans were crazy enough to light a top pick and a bunch of money on fire after watching that game.

    Last years Oregon game. Reason being because the doogs have cried non stop about "If Marvin Hall didn't botch that punt....."
