The last time you took a loss this hard

This....I felt the same way. The way they fought back and not only made a game of it but had a good chance to win it. The pride I had for them superceded my disappointment we didn't win. And in 2 weeks we'll have a bowl game somewhere.
This loss hurts a ton...Really feel for the kids..Knowing they didnt play their best game. Man i feel for those kids.
Only redeeming part is if we can land in NY6 and win. That would be a huge accomplishment.

We lost the turnover battle and the rushing number. Almost impossible to win under those circumstances. It was amazing that we had a chance at the end. It was a gut punch to be sure, but I feel like next year when we are back there the job will be finished. So, less of a "rip your heart out" loss and more of a "to be continued" type of thing.
I'm not taking this all that hard. I'll say Louisiana in the first game of the season. That was a kick in the crotch at the time.
I took the basketball loss last night harder.
I think I realized we were playing with house money today.

I took the Louisiana game harder than this.
I'm not taking this loss that hard. The future is bright and we had one hell of a comeback. I'd say the most recent loss that really stuck with me was the NCAA tourney game vs. Purdue. Watching Burton go into beast mode, but ISU still lose with Monte, Matt and Naz (and Deonte) all graduating was tough to swallow.
This one doesn't feel that bad to me because I don't feel like this is a fleeting "once in a lifetime" moment anymore. I feel like the program has been built solidly enough that we should expect to be in the championship game again next year. Some if those other games - Nebraska 2pt conversion, many KSU games, both Big 12 North clinching losses - those hurt more because it felt like we had really missed an exclusive chance to do something. This doesn't feel like some fleeting moment we'll never see again. At least not as long as Campbell is here.
So pissed I drove home that night.
Brother was asleep in the back. Told me he'd drive when we hit Indiana. I let him sleep. He woke up at daybreak asked where we were. Wolcott.
UAB - 2 fold, we lost and we were first game out the gate and took all the enjoyment out of my favorite time of the year. Couldn't watch any other tournament games that first weekend.
This is the winner! That was the national title and that charge was bs. Still can’t believe they gave us a 2 seed
Maybe it’s because I feel like we will be back next year and years following, but I’m not feeling too bad right now. Still got the Fiesta bowl to look forward to.
I think the one that really sticks in my head is the 18 Texas game. Might just be since I was there for that one but it was just painful and I was mad about that. This one doesn’t really have that same feel. To echo what others have said, this doesn’t really feel like the end of an era or a missed opportunity that will set us back. Yeah it sucked losing and especially losing that way but man it seems like there’s a lot to look forward to.
Yeah, that's a good one. Any one of these losses where you're on the precipice of something really big and come up short. Missouri in 2004 was a pretty sickening feeling. The Sweet 16 losses in basketball, kind of like today knowing you had a chance but you just played so poorly at times.
