Most disappointing plungerings

@AIRWOLF's are really good.
Fucking Lambo and Gilby get such a fucking pass from Husky fans. They both were slap-dicks. -
Right! Wistrom. Peters was on that team too though, right?RoadDawg55 said:
It was Hook Great Grant Wistrom.AEB said:So many fond memories. So hard to choose. At least in the '97 Nebraska game Pathon arrived. I believe it was Christian Peters who pulled the Gaines on Huard...not that I remember that game after 19 years... btw, @CokeGreaterThanPepsi stadium was electric, pre-game was amped. Awesome September day.
I was at Haas during the 54-7 game. Literally the first game I've ever seen where a team quit on the 2nd play of the game.
SC 45 UW 0 at halftime in the Colesium in 2008 was special. Randomly crushing beers in the parking lot next to Shane P and Tommy Smith was a highlight.
Stanford 65 UW 7 was special and a good miss. I had a chance to attend and passed. I was so dooged up I wanted to watch it on TV.
JJ Stokes murdering UWs secondary was the first heartbreak I remember while living in NorCal.
So many to choose from -
People forget that Air Force team was 12-1. The loss in 2005 was so much worse.AIRWOLF said:
Yeah, Aloha Bowl at the end of the 1998 season. Plungering by AFA got Lambo shitcanned.DugtheDoog said:Not that the game meant anything anyway and I was only in middle school but didn't Air Force plunger us? in the Hawaii (or Oahu) Bowl the year after we plungered Saban's sparty team? Those mid-late 90s teams all kinda bleed together for me.
Perhaps poetically, Air Force also administered the first beating of the Willingham Era, at Husky Stadium. I recall it being a nice day and the fly-over by the F15s was cool. That was the best thing that could be said of the next 4 years of Husky football. -
Did the team quit against Miami or just get physically assaulted? Because they definitely quit against Cal in 03, and that shit was worse than the entire Willingham era.

The 2012 lsu game looked like toddlers vs the seahawks. I was dooging tuff after we got that field goal, but was blacked out by the 3rd quarter.
Caged tiger, never forget -
12-1 in the WAC with a SOS in the 100s. But yeah, they were a good team.doogsinparadise said:

This was the one that sticks out for me.AIRWOLF said:Good god, how could I have forgotten the prison gang rape in Miami in 2001?
65-7 and not that close.
Some of the others I didn't even care so much as I'd already given up on the coach and hoped a quick end.
But this was coming off the 11-1 season and we were 8-2 going in and just indeed got prison gang raped.
FYFMFE -
pretty sure ABC turned it off in the 3rd quarter and switched to an actual gamednc said:But seriously the 2001 Miami game and it isn't close. We were one year removed from a semi legitimate argument at a spot in the natty game. Earliest I ever turned a UW game off.
-
How about the 97 home loss to Nebraska when Tui brought us back to within 7 and Lambright calls an onside kick that goes out of bounds leaving Nebraska a short field to seal it.
I was stunned.
After the game Lame said he wanted to change the momentum. We'd scored 14 straight on the last two possessions.
Well he changed it alright. -
Was Sark there too?HuskyJW said:
It takes me 2.5 hours to drive up for the games. I was in my seat less than 1.5 hours and was swilling beer at Schultzy's before end of halftime.doogsinparadise said:The 65-21 game and 41-0 game against Stanford sum up so much of what was wrong with the Sark regime.

This. Remember, that game was postponed - we would scored at least twice if not for 9/11dnc said:But seriously the 2001 Miami game and it isn't close. We were one year removed from a semi legitimate argument at a spot in the natty game. Earliest I ever turned a UW game off.
Btw, whatever happened to our Boca Raton pipeline? Fuck Florida -

I love to tell people I went to the Miami game in the Orange Bowl. Their eyes light up and they start talking about the Whammy. Then I tell them it was in '01.
Shuts them right the fuck up. -
I wasn't at Gilby's game at Cal, so for me the absolute worst lack of effort, team giving up, embarassement, lack of ranch dressing, was the 41-0 Stanford game in the rain in 2010. I don't think we(we!) got 100 yds of offense until LSJU put in the reserves in the 4th qtr. But after wanting Sark fired after the Nebraska game, I actually wasn't disappointed because I thought it would hasten Sark's exit. But then the Holiday Bowl happened.
I'm too young to remember the details of the eventual Rose Bowl Champs loosing to UCLA 31-0 in 1981. So for me the two biggest surprising plungers were Miami in 2001, and one that I am surprised is not getting more mentions: Nebraska in 1998.
A top 10 team gets plungered 55-7. Brock asks the Nebraska linemen to stop hitting him so hard. Gerald Harris gets a collapsed lung. Nebraska's mystique was partly built on being undefeated against non-league teams since 1991. So we (we!) took that as Nebraska could beat anyone in Lincoln, except us. So we were reportedly the first team ever to face a #2 Nebraska team in Lincoln and not only not be intimidated, but actually be too loose. I thought we had a real team that year, and loosing by 48 when you're ranked in the top 10 qualifies as both a plungering and as a disappointment. -
The three plungers in 2012 on a year that was supposed to show progress was awful. From looking like toddlers at LSU to being down 35-7 at half at Oregon and then quitting at Arizona and blaming it on trust issues.
The Arizona game was when I turned on sark. That's when it became clear the program was showing no progress under him. It was a Willingham like performance -
The Arizona State game in 2013 is when I totally lost my shit. After so many years to feel like we were back at square one was too much.
-
Both. Miami was loaded with talent and ready to avenge the loss @ UW a year earlier. Washington did their best France circa 1939 impression and laid down. Unlike, the Germans who took it easy on the French -short of pilfering their art and wine and slipping their women a knockwurst- Miami overran US like Huns, raping and pillaging our yellow lads and when they're were done, they danced on their corpses.doogsinparadise said:Did the team quit against Miami or just get physically assaulted?

I think Brock has turned into a pretty good broadcaster and I have run into him in Redmond a few times and he seems like a nice enough guy (for a borderline creepy super Christian), but I do think about that game every time I see him or hear his voice.
Rough legacy. -
Brock was a complete tool. And, he was an awful leader as QB. Made of glass too. Shit, half the team wanted Shane Fortney to start before he was run off. He was the epitome of performance anxiety. All the talent in the world. Such teaseAIRWOLF said:
