I'm surprised that the '05 UCLA didn't make anyone's list. Cal was 5-0 on its way to a pretty special season during Desean's freshman year, and I think had a 10 point lead with 7-8 minutes to go. Then Cal just insisted on punting to MJD.....over and over again....

And I went by myself, which just added to the depressing nature of the game. I almost didn't go but I just couldn't miss a game let alone the last game of old Memorial... I gave my seats to some young kids (not that it mattered they could sit anywhere) and just wandered around the stadium the whole game... it was grey.. wet... empty... no students... absolutely dead... it was everything that the Tedford era hadn't been... and it was capped by the Chancellor being so incredibly long winded in a speech no one could hear... and being taunted by Washington fans... 5-6 Washington fans... as they left the Stadium... it reminded me why I hated Washington fans so much... enjoy your win, sure, but don't be talking shyt when you're 5-6.

I think that game was depressing because it was like time travel back to the Holmoe era. Hoping upon hope for anything-a first down, a penalty, an earthquake, or terrorist attack-anything but the futility on display.

Wow, 3 of these games haven't even been played yet!:p Ihope those aren't predictions and that you just wrote "2011" instead of "2010."

Wow...pretty good brain fart by moi.....I've edited it.

I know it's not a game that most of us were at, but that 2007 @Washington game may have been the most depressing for me. We just gave up, even though we were in it for a good portion of it.

Oh how could I forget? That was surreal. I think that was the nadir of the Jeff Tedford era. I mean the moment he was introduced and we saw his mug dressed in a UW hat = nadir. It's so bizarre that the nadir happened the same season as we reached the zenith, #1 for a couple of hours after LSU lost to Kentucky. Cal football, it's fun-fun-fabulous!!!

He'd better. Get them back for that Chase Lyman now you have a first down, now you don't have a first down, game over thing against UW in 2001. Leggo Keenan!!!

I love it when the top guys speak up. As long as you can back it up. I think that Guyton, Kendricks, Cattouse, KA21, Maynard and McCain all like to talk a bit. I hope they can get fired up for this game, they need to be pissed that they didn't beat uw last year!

To me, those two games were the signs that the program was sinking. In both games we could not stop a shitty UW team and our offense looked almost as bad. They were depressing games to sit through. I hope we turn it around this week.

I'd have to rate the 2007 BG right up there as the most depressing games under the Mr. 75 Era.

Big Game misery lane---now there's a thread all in itself.

and sitting in the cold December evening watching the Bears get their head handed to them in Seattle made it even more unbearable.................

If you live in the Seattle area, you live with this constantly - one horse town.
