This is the most disheartening UConn loss since . . .

Hope your prediction is right, but I am not optimistic. In order to get to seven wins, there are gonna to have to be some upsets. What better situation for one of those upsets (i.e. on the road, against a good team) than to have the ball second down on the half-yard line with time for two maybe three plays depending on (Lol) play selection and decisive execution (throw the ball away if nothing presents itself on the first or second attempt). So, I'm think UConn just squandered one of those upsets needed to reach 7 wins.

Depends on the way you look at it. If we are truly better, maybe they aren't upsets. If we aren't truly better, then we are just hoping anyway.

Army, Rutgers, Mich.. all good comparisons to this one. On the scale of disheartening, a close miss against a decent opponent doesn't come close to getting pushed up and down the field by Towson and knowing 'this is who we are' - that was disheartening.

I completely overlooked the Michigan game for this topic. I should have felt disheartened but I didn't. I left the game fully expecting to go 9-3 LOL

Since we're going down this road, shout out to 2009 as a whole. I remember all of these being CRUSHING losses because we were actually better than the teams we lost to:
vs North Carolina
@ Pitt
@ WVU
vs Rutgers

I believe these gut wrenching losses made the ND win for Jazz so sweet but still a rough year all around. That team could have legitimately been 11-1.

Actually, the other game we lost that year was also by less than 4 points. We lost the five games by 15 points. We we're that close to a perfect season.

What about Vandy and the Johnny Mac pass that never should have been thrown?
