Maybe in the spring on 2011, but we lost our Head Coach and Heisman contender QB before the season started.

I'm not saying there wasn't a reason for it. That was a disaster spring for y'all.

Also I wouldn't call Washington a blue blood (far from it), but UW going winless in 2008 is really hard to believe.



They've won an MNC in my lifetime.

Going winless is HARD to do.

Neil Calloway was the OC. But Dubose had hired Charlie Stubbs as a guru to be co-OC. Assistants took sides. Players took sides. Needless to say it was a mess. Then you had the whole QB controversy with Andrew Zow and Tyler Watts.

About 15 years ago the season when Nebraska only won 2 Big 12 games and gave up 76 points to Kansas.

Compared to the previous 3 decades Kansas in the
70's Scored 60 points total for the decade
80's Scored 67 points total for the decade
90's Scored 86 points total for the decade

That UF team was trotting out a walk on at QB and completely decimated at that time. That team was still bad regardless.

Washington was pretty close to being a blue blood before the Neuheisel scandal and then Willingham. At least they've somewhat recovered now, unlike Nebraska, Miami, etc

That team was total dog shite once Locker went down. That Celebration penalty cost them a game vs BYU too

2008 mich 3-9


3-9 is so bad but I think you can argue 2007 was even worst just because of the app state loss I know they went on to win a bunch of games after that but still that’s tough

Yea but they still went 7-6 and made a bowl

Michigan and ND’s 3-9 were far worse. Losing to Toledo, navy, crushed 31-3 by GT, etc


Shockingly awful
