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

    If it was on the Pac-12 network it didn't happen
