The loss to Penn State in the ‘87 Fiesta Bowl was the worst by far IMO because on paper and statistically in the game, we should have crushed them. It cost us a national title due to 7 turnovers.

A lot fun good ones mentioned...no question the Fiesta Bowl was vs OSU is #1


Haven't seen it mentioned but Alabama crushing us in the Sugar Bowl for the National title still haunts me

This. Remember that game like yesterday. I was a kid then and I vividly remember that was the 1st game I actually cried looking at. But that 03 Fiesta Bowl, it has a deeper impression on my mind b/c my gf’s father, at the time, was a Buckeye fan and I was w her family watching that game. He was a super mild dude, and I just remembered her entire family jumping around and celebrating around me....including her. We broke up shortly after. Lol.

I was 14 when Bama trounced us and I've never cried harder over a game.

But yeah the OSU game is something I'll go to the grave with still feeling pain from.

.....You are kidding right?

Hail Flutie?

Fiesta Bowl vs. Penn State?

Terry Porters Phantom PI call?

BYU breaking our home winning streak?

Virginia pounding us in the last OB game?

Cleveland Gary 'fumble'?


....And you pick us losing to Pitt this year as the worst loss in UM history?

You're probably being a troll....I hope.

I think it was UW that broke our home winning streak...Saap blew the coin toss call and didnt elect to defer and instead said we want to kick

It was. BYU beat us when Detmer went crazy, but that was in Provostan.

Why I never consider Vinnie a true Cane (that and the egg he payed against Tennessee the year before in the Sugar Bowl). Fiesta Bowl was the very worst. I have hated OSU with a passion ever since. Them getting left out of the playoffs this year makes me very, very happy. Douches deserved this, especially now with ***.

Vinnie deserves plenty of Blame, but Jimmy allowed VT throw all those **** Ints. against PSU, especially that last one. We had a very Capable backup QB, who won a NC the next year.

Man, we've had so many losses to bad teams. Here's the thing EVERY team has lost to bad teams. Clemson lost to 4 win Syracuse this year. 2004 UNC comes to mind.

Pitt was frustrating because it almost reminded me of watching Kirby Freeman go 1 for 14 against NC State. But OP needs to grow up.

IMO, it's this year's loss to Pittsburgh, and it is not even close.

Here are a few that I am sure will be mentioned:

2007: 5-6 Miami, a team with a 1st year Head Coach, headed absolutely no where and then loses 48-0 to Virginia ([URL=https://www.canesinsight.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2]#2 [/URL] 1, 8-2)

2015: 4-2 Miami, a team lead by an incompetent Al Golden, that lost to Cincinnati and then loses 58-0 to Clemson (#6, 6-0).

2017: 10-0 Miami, a team Ranked [URL=https://www.canesinsight.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2]#2 [/URL] in the CFP Poll, control their own destiny and then loses to 4-7 Pittsburgh, who started a True Freshman QB.

Again, IMO, it is not even close! The Loss to Pitt was Historic and a Failure of Epic Proportions!

What are your Thoughts?


P. S. Richt Apologists, even you can't defend the Pitt Failure, but you will try. LOL

Didn't #2 Clemson lose to Syracuse? Can Dabo apologists defend the Syracuse failure?

That back-to-back stretch in 2004 with UNC and Clemson was awful. Complete chokejob each time. Cost us an ACC crown that year...had we beaten them both, we'd have been playing in the Sugar Bowl and that VT loss at the end of the year would have been meaningless.

This is a laughable proposition. Whether we win or lose the Pitt game, we would be in the same position: Orange Bowl against Wisky. That loss has virtually no impact on our season.

Correct. Also a win over #1 Clemson would have not only won us the ACC title but also a spot in the top 4. Therefore, Pitt may have been one of the least significant losses in Miami history.
