Uconn FB's 25 most devastating losses

[joey3$trike$]

I think it's a joke that this story is even published. How negative can somebody be before the season starts. This program is 10 years old in D.1. The negative tone is childish at best. Talk about no respect. Where's the Rutgers story? or Pitt/Syracuse? Can't wait for the start of camp! I ready to pancake this author. GO HUSKIES!

The Temple loss.

The Rutgers loss after Jazz died was the most painful.

I can honestly say that that Rutgers loss was the only time I cried after a football loss. I had so much emotion invested in that day as a whole that that play was the biggest kick in the gut I ever had.

Yea, that was one of the more devastating losses I've had as a sports fan. Dramatic comeback, great drive at the end that had I think 2 4th down conversions, rival, first home game after Jazz. Was about to be one of the most exciting wins we've ever had and then one play changes everything.

At WVU and vs. UNC that year were also tough. Rutgers in 08. Virginia in 07 was pretty bad too.

That article is stupid and I don't see the point in it. I doubt the author even watched a lot of those games, looked like he just looked at box scores and guessed.

The change in defensive philosophy played a big role in that win. RU couldn't handle the pressure D.

I agree

I am still eating for the Iowa State loss

Nothing will ever top Rutgers 09 for me...

The whole thread is total subjective opinion. You are entitled to yours. I was providing mine.

To me, a loss isn't devastating when a much better team beats you. That covers WVU 07, the Fiesta Bowl and both the losses to Georgia Tech that the article lists.

Hard for me to call it a crushing loss when a) I expected for us to lose and b) it wasn't close.

Doesn't mean I wasn't screaming at my tv the whole time but still...

Rutgers '09 was the most devastating (or definitely top 5), and it's not even on his list. What a joke. It's like he just took the two bowl losses and put them at the top just because they were bowl games.

Nobody has started top wins? Let's turn this around

no particular order
Iowa State 02
USF 07
USF 10
Pitt 04
WVU 10
ND 09

UNC and RU in 2009 were horrible. UNC was an injured trainwreck with a pathetic QB and we lost because of QB uncertainty. Rutgers...you know what happened there.
