What is personally your most satisfying regular season win and your most devastating regular season loss all time as a Miami Hurricanes football fan?

PERSONALLY
My most satisfying win was:
2005 UM 27 vs VT 7 - Lil brother Vick was supposed to light up the Hurricanes and the boys went into Blacksburg and shut it down

Most disappointing loss:
1994 Washington 38 vs UM 20 - the game that broke the streak thanks to a drunk Dennis Erickson

Forgot that one. Until now. Awful, awfull day.
 
The worst was either 88 ND or 94 Washington. Hard to pick one, as they were both horrific.

91 Wide Right I will always have a special place in my heart, as I was in the stands that day. The entire stadium thought he made the kick. As soon as I saw Sebastian run out signaling no good, I screamed, "He missed it!" I swear, it's as if the whole stadium heard me. The quiet disbelief of what had just happened was stunning. I had never seen so many people go from the greatest elation they had ever felt, to shocked disbelief. I almost felt sorry for them, but then I remembered the cutie who turned to me at the start of the 4th quarter, up 16-7, saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot my Kleenex!" As soon as I realized he missed the kick, I tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot my Kleenex!" Then got the **** out of there.

A less important, but very satisfying regular season game was the complete destruction of Washington in 2001. Just something about beating the **** out of them made me feel like all was right in the world.
 
W 2017 ND
L 18 @ UVA or 18’ @ Boston College. Was at both, absolutely horrible drive homes with my 3 buddies who were non UM fans. Probably the Kosi UVA game tho

That Washington loss ended the streak. I didn't expect that one. To me the OB was invincible. Of all the top 5 teams we beat. I didnt not see that one coming. That game didn't feel right from the beginning.

You knew if the game was at the orange bowl, there was no way they would lose. The next time we played Washington in the orange bowl we blew them out and I wanna say that was the last time we ever faced them. The Washington AD wasn't happy about the blowout
 
I'm all about the climb and I was too young in the early 80's to appreciate going from not good to great. My first climb, that I truly remember, was the climb back in the 90's. So....

Loss: East Carolina 1999. Coming off a 9 win season the year prior, beating #3 UCLA that year at the end, thinking we were coming back and had turned the corner headed into 1999. We lost to #3 Penn State, the game prior, in devastating fashion but were still ranked inside the top 10 and there was hope. EC game was moved because of Hurricane Floyd. East Carolina came back from being down and stunned Miami. I don't think I ever felt that deflated after a game. There were much worse games but for some reason I never forget how I felt after that game. It wasn't some juggernaut that just outplayed us. It was East Carolina, a game we're not supposed to lose. It felt like the comeback was over and it was never going to happen. Also when the Butch stuff really started to turn bad.

Win: Washington 2001. There has never been a more cathartic experience. After the absolutely deflating 1999 season, the EC game, thinking maybe we have another shot in 2000, and then losing to Washington in the 2nd game. Ugh. Brutal. Especially because the rest of the season was so amazing except for that one blemish. Kept us out the NC game. But then, to take years of frustration out on them in the OB, at night, on national television, in the way we did. My God. It's like 80,000 people in the Orange Bowl, including the players, were going through therapy together. Still the craziest and most blood thirsty I've ever seen the OB.

1988 v ND was worst loss by far….holtz , the pre game fight, Catholics v Convicts bs…Cleveland Gary touchdown ruled a fumble……

Best win was very next year in 1989 w Bernard Clark having game of his life, Stephen McGuire running and the OB going insane…..27-10 and Canes went on to win Natty

Tough question though, for us that have been around, there were so many great games in the 80s-90s it’s just ridiculous
 
1988 season beating Michigan#15 31-30 at the Big House we were down big came back with a huge second half -Beating Bo Schembechler and the Wolverines-It was that Florida speed

Losing to Notre Dame#4 a few weeks later 31-30 on that controversial call on Cleveland Gary -


That season we had a brutal schedule we absolutely crushed teams-

Miami 31-0 over FSU#1season home opener

Missouri 55-0 home

LSU#11 44-3 away at night

Wisconsin 23-3 home

BYU 41-17 home

Arkansas they were ranked #6 tough game at home18-16

Beat # 6 Nebraska 23-3 in the OB classic

Finished #2 behind Notre Dame
