The whole things sounds sort of like the UNR loss, only worse (which is hard to imagine). I remember just sitting there in the hotel room in Tahoe watching the ticker on ESPN thinking it must just all be a bad dream because there's no way we just lost that game. |

I can attest to the UTEP '85 loss
I too would wake up in the night thinking it was a bad dream, only to realize the reality of the nightmare in the morning. I was depressed about it for a week or two and it is still, by far, the worst thing loss I have suffered through in BYU history. No other is even close. Remember, the UTEP loss was during the tail end of BYU's golden age. UTEP had not won a game that year and BYU was favored by over 40 points. It is probably the worst odds loss game in division 1 history I would guess. Seriously, it was like a team such as UNLV from the last couple of years beating a team ranked about No. 5.
