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.
-
Too many to list, but that puddle of puppy piss they left in Baton Rouge might have been the worst. LSU took whatever shred of manhood existed on the team at that time and flushed it into the Mississippi River, and they did it while backing off the throttle in the first half.

The 2010 Nebraska game, and it ain't even close.

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

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.TierbsHsotBoobs said:The 2010 Nebraska game, and it ain't even close.
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.chrisvashon said:

Last years Oregon game. Reason being because the doogs have cried non stop about "If Marvin Hall didn't botch that punt....."
-
2011 LSwho. It cemented my thoughts of Sark as a middle tier soft coach. Then I remember Fatters making excuses for it and wanting to throw hot nacho "cheese" in his fat face.
Moral victories are for the weak but if they are competitive in that game, it gives hope that this program has a good shot at being a top 10 or 15 contender again. -
Err 2012 lsu
-
The LSU game in Baton Rouge showed how glaringly undeveloped the team is, both physically and mentally ... in year fucking four. That game should have been the last straw for even the most doogish of doogs.
-
It was the true last straw for me. I wanted Sark gone after the OSU and Baylor game in 2011. However, with the defensive staff changes I allowed myself to become somewhat optimistic again. The doog in me thought, if we can play at the 2011 level on offense and develop a solid D, we could be pretty good.Southerndawg said:The LSU game in Baton Rouge showed how glaringly undeveloped the team is, both physically and mentally ... in year fucking four.

Then I saw the LSU game which was their easiest win of the season. It was pathetic watching it. Portland State played us tougher than we played LSU. They were toying with us the entire game.
-
I'm shocked that last year's Apple Cup hasn't been brought up yet. In a litany of unexcusable losses, either through shitting the bed or just shitty coaching, blowing an 18-point 4th quarter lead to the last place team in a shitty conference has to be the worst...at least for me anyways.
-
I was right along the fence-line as the LSU defense got off the bus before their "tiger-walk" to the stadium. Those players were grown. ass. men.Southerndawg said:The LSU game in Baton Rouge showed how glaringly undeveloped the team is, both physically and mentally ... in year fucking four.

That was a complete cluster fuck, while LSU was full bore twenty two fisted plunger-o-matic 2000 action.

Probably because Sark by then had so many terrible losses on record we were all numb to that loss.BAMAdawg10 said:I'm shocked that last year's Apple Cup hasn't been brought up yet.

To most Doogs that was the game where they went from thinking Sark is next James to wait and see.
For the rest of us we knew he was a shit coach. So many examples in this thread which doesn't include 2010 at byu, 2010 vs Stanford, 2009 at ASU and at ND.
His loss to the fucking Cougs was his worse but looking at his history nobody was exactly surprised. -
This. Anyone paying attention knows to expect this kind of Sarktarded loss.He_Needs_More_Time said:

What about the home loss to LSU? UW gets a garbage touchdown at the end of regulation to secure a single digit home loss, and Sark gets a close to standing ovation. Then, he gives his Obama type presser explaining that close isn't good enough, then travel 3 years later and he explains how they were almost 9-4.

LSU D line taunting the UW O line between players. Never thought I'd see the day....

LSU- Celebrated defeat
ASU- Stellar prevent defense
UCLA- Force 5 turnovers and still lose
BYU- Lockner throws deep on 4th and short into tight coverage

I'm not going to pitch on Sark in close games as his record appears pretty good in those games.
My problem with Sark is we are just as close to winning a conference title as we were with Ty.
Against bad teams who UW should blow out they allow the game to be close and if its on the road flat lose.
If they are playing a good to average team on the road the flat don't compete and get blown out.
In year four you shouldn't be losing three games by 30+ points.
Sark has developed some bad trends. Gets blown out 3+ times a year, has a mid season 3+ game losing streak, only defeats terrible OOC opponents and on the road rarely wins. If he does win on the road typically in some nail biter, most likely gets blown out. -
Other than the annoyance of getting texts and calls from Coug fans I barely talk to, I really didn't even care when we lost to WSU. Even if Coons would have hit the FG, it made no difference. We played like shit to a terrible team, just like we did against Cal and Colorado. I'm basically numb to shitty football. I expect it every time we play on the road.BAMAdawg10 said:I'm shocked that last year's Apple Cup hasn't been brought up yet.

I lost at least $15k betting on that game so.....it's one of my least favorite losses. But it was one of the games that really opened my eyes to what Sark was bringing to the table. He showed ZERO ability to change his tactics, and showed that he's a N/one trick pony.....
EVERY blowout loss, and EVERY loss attributed to crappy coaching toward the end of the game, are my "favorite's"...if favorite means most hated!CollegeDoog said: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.
