Was this the worst half in the history of Colorado football?

I attended that game with my neighbor, a die hard Mizzou fan. So for me, that was the worst. I not only had to sit there and watch the DII Danny led Buffs take a beating, I had to hear about it the whole way home in the car.
It was Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin in 2007. They bent us over in Columbia the next season as well.

USC 2002 was terrible, 40-3. Only completed 2 passes the entire game, rushed for like 40 yards. I watched the whole game for some reason.
Oregon 2012 could have been 130-0 if they felt like it, they were up 35-0 after the 1st quarter I think. They mercifully only beat us 70-14.
Mizzou 2008, 58-0. Hawkins intentionally lets us get shutout to end McCartney’s streak. I unknowingly and illegally streamed this game in the Caribbean on a crappy cellular network.
Fresno.
We just have not seen Prime field a team this lost in his tenure. It looked like the Embree/Dorrell years, that’s why it hurt so much.

At least in that one we had the excuse of our starting QB getting murdered by a Texas LB.

I was at that one. End of the year that USC team with Palmer would have been tough to beat by OSU or miami for the NC

The interception at 40:20 looked a lot like Salter's interception on Saturday.
Has anyone seen the full disciplinary list yet?

UU is hard to beat, but at least they were a decent team. Some others come to mind:
1. Home Stanford 2023--we had no business losing that game up 29-0 at half. Gave up 32 points in 2nd half. Coaches fell backwards into that loss.
2. Home Minnesota 2022--down 35-0 at half, finally 49-0 until garbage TD. It was boys playing against men.
3. Home AZ 2017--all you need to do is get to 6 wins MikeMac! AZ QB hurt on 1st series, Khalil Tate comes in with an S on his chest.
4. Away Fresno State 2012--55-7 at the half.
5. Away Kansas 2010--the end of the Hawklove tenure, gave up 42 points in 4th Q for largest comeback. Cody Hawkins got his record.
6. Away Missou 2008--58-0 is all you need to know
7. Home Montana State 2005--outscored 13-0 in the 2nd half to a Big Sky school.

The thing about the Oregon game and last Saturday's game that is a hidden embarrassment is that in both cases we were so pathetic that two coaches (Kelly and Whittingham) that were known for not having mercy on their opponents in blowouts, clearly took their respective feet off the gas way early in the second half. 80 was easily achievable in both games.
Ironically, no facemasks and leather helmets would be safer when it comes to concussions and CTE.
You can separate out a lot of these based on the quality of competition.
Vince Young's Texas, Chase Daniel's Mizzou, the multitude of Oregon's and their QBs, the Carson Palmer USC team ... those were the those programs greatest teams, if not some of the greatest teams in ALL of college football history.
Toledo, Fresno, Khalil Tate at Arizona, true freshman first start Utah QB, those were against nobodies.
To get bent over by a nobody is different.

that was kind of Irv's statement.....after a a pretty bad OU facemask penalty. no facemask tackling, no spinal injuries.
The game that got Hawkins fired kind of stands out. What makes it worse to me is that we blew a huge first-half lead. And Kansas was a beyond pitiful team. First year of the Turner Gill era. It was the only conference game that Turner Gill won during his two-year tenure. 1-7, followed by 0-9.
Texas was up 35-3 in the first half of regular season game in October. We had just lost to Iowa State, followed by a 30-3 loss vs Nebraska at home. We all knew a beatdown was coming in that championship game.
To qualify as the worst ever, I think there has to be some element of surprise as to just how bad the team performed.
I actually convinced myself we might be able to win last Saturday. I did not see that coming.
I mean, I like Utah in theory. they have a great coach and they have schemes that they believe in and they are a tough out, every year.
they are a very solid tier 2 football program who can catch fire some times and rise up. and, that is who they are. ... like a lot of the top tier b12 teams.
I wasn't necessarily expecting to win but I was definitely not expecting to get rolled in an alley by an angry one-eyed hooker with a turquoise handle switchblade. and the L she smeared in blood on our foreheads was a bit gratuitous.

Oddly specific imagery.
Utah's greatest gift to football was making USC their bitch. I'll never be envious of any team that dons a red uniform, but damn, I wish we'd cracked that code.

CU hasn't had a HC was good as Whittingham since Coach Mac. Not even close. Delusional Buff fans make this site difficult to leave.
God you can't watch a KC game anymore.
Who here has said we've had a better coach than Whittingham since Mac? What kind of harebrained sh*tsense are you whipping up now?
You are a smart man. It just depends on the criteria that is important to you. No one else can decide that for you. Not me, not PAHI, not anyone.

Oh Geebus Hank, just go make me a pizza. I trust you.
Once Prime hinted at many players being out who dressed, I had a sinking feeling. I wish that feeling was wrong.
