What's Your Teams Most.......part 2
1. Lopsided loss
2. gut wrenching loss
3. embarrassing loss
4. WTH just happened loss?
For me
1. New Mexico 2004 lost 72-8....we were a bad FCS but that was just embarrassing. Fortunately, most people don't even care, or know, about that game.
2. UNI 2005 - FCS Semi Final. The game the FCS world knows as "The Knee". Tied with 1:27 left, the ball on the 42, all time outs left and our coach decided to lose faith in the team that had come this far and make the QB take a knee(s) to run out the clock and play for a win in OT. We lost. Our PK was one of the (if not the) best PK's in FCS.
Over 400 yds of offense and he shuts that down playing to not lose; which they ultimately did 40-37. I was literally sick as a dog; partially from drinking, partly from the gut wrenching game and not being able to process what Bailiff did to this team. I have talked to several players from that squad and they didn't want to do anything after the game except kill the coach and go home. Nobody volunteered for the presser and the ones told they had to do it walked in, sat down, got up and walked out.
3. ULL 2014 - have to go with this one because it just was. I don't know who TXST put out on the field this past week but it wasn't the team I'd been watching previously. Something is seriously wrong in SM and they best get it fixed.
4. SELA 2009 - If anyone can blow a big lead, this team could. Our GS moment, I guess. We were up by 24 with 9:06 left and lost this game in OT 51-50. That win would have given us a share of the SLC title (having beaten SFA) and another playoff appearance.
