Poll: Most Heartbreaking Loss

i'd have to say losing to mizzou twice in a row both on kicks, both entitling us to be north champs. it was demoralizing. baylor was bad too, Kansas is starting to play better football.

Other - Nebraska last year. If Nick Leaders had not dropped that pass in his paws in overtime, we would have won the North and Kansas would not have been an issue.

Missouri 2004- After sitting in the cold windy weather it killed me to walk out of that stadium after we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. It would have been so sweet to go to the Big XII Championship game after the win-less season.

Ain't no way in hell you can leave out our loss about 10 years ago to 2nd seeded UCLA in the 2nd round of the tourney.....we were up by one and Cameron Dollar for UCLA completely ran over Jacy Holloway for a layup, no foul, game over....lost by one.

oops, didnt see it was a football question

Mizzou in 04.

gabeburkhart · 07-21-2006, 06:43 PM

For me its a tie between Mizzou and Kansas, however since I drove the 3 and half hours to the Kansas game Im putting that as #1 for me. I thought I would never feel like the way I did after the Mizzou game in 04 I was wrong!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img]

for me its the FSU game. how much confidence do we have after knocking off FSU on national TV? maybe we dont **** the Texas game away that year. Oklahoma was a huge defeat, but they were damn good the year, but we had Texas on the ropes in Austin. Stupid first down call.........

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(clone33 @ 07-21-06 11:39 am) Quoted post</div><div class='quotemain'> has to be Kansas cause its the most recent. If it werent for that, it'd be Alabama...That kick was good!!! [/b][/quote]

Don't forget Florida State at the end of the game it was a td!

I still have to go with 2004 mizzou , it was like getting your heart ripped out.

You know... reading this poll really brings back some memories for me. I am probably one of the few people here that can claim to have been at EVERY one of these games. Even Oklahoma 2002. That was a beatdown my friends.

Having been in attendance at all of these games I can say with complete confidence that the Mizzou game of 2004 had to be the roughest on me personally. My wife (girlfriend at the time) had already purchased Big 12 championship game tickets, had the weekend all planned out, were so excited...I mean you could have heard a pin drop in Trice after that game. Utter heartbreak.

KU last year was the worst.

We had it. Then we snached defeat from the jaws of victory.

cstrunk · 07-22-2006, 01:05 AM

The most heartbreaking loss that I have ever attended was the Baylor game in 05. I couldn't cheer for any extended amount of time because bad things kept happening.... and well, it was against BAYLOR.

gocyclones1 · 07-22-2006, 01:10 AM

kansas 05 by far...i juss wanted to practically die...2 years straight!!!!!!...and what sucks most is so much had to happen to get us into that position and it all fell right into place...we were destined...o well...theres always this year....right?

ISU 7 OU 7 (tie admittedly, but as worse as a loss)

Alex Giffords misses a FG late in the game.

I fell on the floor and grabbed my gut like I'd just been shot.

Al_4_State · 07-22-2006, 09:20 AM

good call on that UCLA game....that is my first memory of the Clones ripping my heart out. I think I was in 6th grade, and was laying in bed listening to it. When that happened I laid in bed motionless for a minute, then screamed and put a hole in my wall. Now my Clones just drive me to drink when they pull that, but that was definitely my first memory of being really really disappointed by an ISU game, albeit a basketball game while we're in a football thread.
