Most Frustrating losses

[Robert Sorell]

this period was torture to me. All nailbiters to the end. 15 points.

55	November 29, 1996	Lincoln	No. 4 ****braska	17	No. 5 Colorado	12
56	November 28, 1997	Boulder	No. 2 ****braska	27	Colorado	24
57	November 27, 1998	Lincoln	No. 14 ****braska	16	Colorado	14
58	November 26, 1999	Boulder	No. 3 ****braska	33	Colorado	30OT
59	November 24, 2000	Lincoln	No. 10 ****braska	34	Colorado	32
60	November 23, 2001	Boulder	No. 14 Colorado	62	No. 2 ****braska	36

It's hard to recapture the feeling of 62-36; it wasn't just about beating the **** of out the fuskers, it was that I was all but certain that we were going to lose when the score closed to 42-30. I didn't even feel like a win was all that likely at the end of the first quarter being up 25. I just thought that it was part of Thanksgiving weekend to have your hopes up for 3 hours just to have your guts ripped out in the last couple minutes of the game.

Getting slapped around by Joey Harrington in the Fiesta Bowl, and thus losing the right to claim that we got screwed out of a chance to play for the Natty was a gut punch too.

Those guys didn't look like they even wanted to be in that Fiesta Bowl, to me. They beat the **** out of Nebraska, beat Texas, and still got snubbed.
