LOL, 1990 Oregon, I don't think anybody in our house said much until the next

morning. It was like someone close to us had died... everyone was just in quiet mourning.

Recent Cougar fans don't remember what having Ty Detmer was like. It was like Jimmer-mania times 10. And really, 1984 was still pretty fresh on everyone's minds. We all thought 100% that 1990 was our next National Championship.

FSU '09 gave us some serious baggage as fans.

1990 vs. Oregon was way more traumatic.

I was 13 yrs old. I went and sobbed on my bed for an hour after that game.

From Doolittle of all people. They've lost all heart.

UNLVcougar

9/18/14 12:24pm

Agreed. Lots of mistakes in the field, showing loss of focus and heart.

9/18/14 12:29pm

And miami would have given us a credible win to point to. Finished 10-2 and #2

jkccoug

9/18/14 2:16pm

What was especially painfull is that Oregon lost to Colorado State

9/18/14 3:29pm

I was in Autzen for that game. It sucked, but it was at least in their house.

jkccoug

9/18/14 2:11pm

I think we out-gained Oregon, but had something like 7 turnovers and a safety.

9/18/14 2:26pm

I was at the aTm holiday bowl in 1990 too. Only games I went to all year.

9/18/14 2:14pm

Utah 2005? I thought we competed pretty well that year.

I was going to say Florida State was actually really good that year. Nope,

9/18/14 11:54am

Match up nightmare for us. They had a gigantic O-line, with a mobile QB.

9/18/14 11:56am

Immediate 3 yard push every snap against our d-line, all night. Demoralizing.

SandYFan

9/18/14 11:59am

Pretty sure they had a tiny OL. Good, but tiny. Our DL was just tinier.

Not very successful, but very talented

Braves Fan

9/18/14 12:16pm

They torched Brian Logan in that game, not because of his play

LifeLongLakerFan

9/18/14 12:22pm

The worst part was that notwithstanding matchup problems

3 worst losses in my memory: Texas A&M in 1990, BSU in 2003, Utah in 2011

I drove down to that UCLA game from Provo.

UCLA was a stunner

9/18/14 2:35pm

And the season went straight downhill from there. IIRC, we lost 48-45 to Fresno

9/18/14 3:03pm

But we still won the WAC and barely lost to OHIO st in the Holliday Bowl

Walsh started out as the scapegoat

54-10 was bad, but we were SO HIGH going into FSU, and got embarrassed

Another bad one: 2009 TCU...

I have had a fear of small reptiles ever since 2008 TCU. Not too fond of Huskies

TCU '09 just confirmed the FSU game, which was almost worse.

TCU 2009 might be the biggest in terms of national embarrassment

9/18/14 11:52pm

I agree with what you say except for the elite program part.

9/19/14 12:54am

Two convincing blowouts in the same season were really what did it for us

I guess the worst loss is a subjective thing.

I dont take Utah as seriously as some

Wait, we lost 54-10 (54-10!) because of bad luck? You can't be serious.
