In honor of losing to Boise and looking retarded for our off season natty what are some of your lowlights

1985 BYU is near the top coming off of Don James first natty and getting blown out by the pretender

Sneaky one 1994 losing at USC before beating Ohio State, Miami and UCLA

Sark losing to BYU when we gambled the entire season on it

Petersen losing to Auburn

    Those were all the ones I thought of. Maybe Air Force in 2004. Go into the game thinking this team isn’t 1-10 bad and then they laid an egg. It was the first tangible confirmation that the Ty regime was going to suck balls.
    2005, not 2004, but agreed nonetheless.

    Barely beating Hawaii in 2014 and EWU in 2011 also ought to count as an opening losses.

    The LSU loss in 2009 is sort of the opposite. It tricked me into thinking UW would be really good right after 0-12. It was a really fitting first game for Sark in hindsight.

    What was bad about the usc loss? I don't remember it other than it being like 24-17?

    Who did Rick lose to in his first season? Started 0-2 and one of them was to Air Force but not sure if it was first

    ETA: Fuck it was also BYU. Should have fired Rick on the 50

    Because it was USC and the season was over. And further proof Lambo was over his head. He dropped to 0-2 against USC after UW had won three straight

    We? were on probation so everything sucked

    As a young doog college football was invented in 1990 so the first lambo loss in 1993 @tosu was shocking to me. I was mad.

    I intentionally didn't mention it, because I assumed it was some unofficial rule I just wasn't aware of.

    2002 coug it against Michigan in the Big Quiet House has to be on here too. Fucking Rick.

    With all the shitty football we experienced after this, it’s kinda easy to forget.

    1996 Arizona State.

    Probably win if Dillon gets more than 7 carries

    Good call

    Lambo's second Rose Bowl lost in week 1

    Maybe Brock's best game. His first. Came off the bench

    Petersen should have been fired on the Albertson's logo after he lost to Boise to open the 2015 season.

    The offense was terrible. Everyone kept saying browning did good so it must be true.

    The Auburn game led to the mental break that got me sober.

    Thanks Pete!
    Sobriety sucks but congrats on your liver surviving.

    Sark losing to LSU in his first year. Scored a last second touchdown to make the final loss by one score, which started the whole "Sark has this team headed in the right direction!" mentality that never seemed to wane no matter how many terrible losses and sub-par seasons he turned. In fact, he's still riding the coat tails of that game. I wish we had gotten blown out.

    BYU in 2010 was tuff. Coming off winning the last two games of 2009, including a closing blowout over ranked Cal, and Locker back, it felt like there was some positive momentum for the first time in a long time. Then they couldn't stop JJ DiLuigi and Locker looked lost against a mid major.

    That last drive was hilariously pathetic
