In fact, all I remember of that game is my dad cursing and my mom getting mad, and telling us children to not bother our dad. I guess he was in mourning. My mother is a great wife, she also taught us when we were little to not bother my dad during games unless it was a time out.

That loss should not have affected me, but I've never been so upset with BYU football, before or since, as I was with that damn game.

"Chow, get Fowler in the game, Bosco is hurt," I was screaming and then he threw that duck going in for the winning TD only to have it returned.

It was horrible, and this was after UCLA had beaten us on Mike Sherrard's pass. Pisses me off to this day.

1. Hawaii 2001 - This was the saddest game I ever watched on TV. BYU game out SO FLAT. It prepared me to watch the Liberty Bowl (which I went to personally) which was another sad game, so I'm lumping those two together.

2. UNM in Provo 2004. I was at this one too and it's tough to describe how it felt to have the pathetic hope of a winning season crushed by a team like that.

3. The first time BYU lost 34-31 to Utah and they tried to tear our goal posts down. I was at that game too with my dad, and when he saw the Utah players on the goal posts the cursing came freely. It was bad enough to lose, but, you don't tear down your rival's goal posts. That's a no-no.

4. UTEP 1985

5. 2006, losing to BC in double overtime. Not that the Cougs sucked in this game, but it was one of those games that was so close (when it shouldn't have been) and to lose like that at the end was really depressing.

I'm surprised no Ute Fans have contributed to this list. I'm sure they have plenty of "worst BYU football moments" to share.
