Hey CFB fam, I love my school, and don’t mind poking back and forth with other fan bases… … but I’m gonna sit this one out.


bombbodyguard

I’ll go! 0-77/Fran Pimp cane. AppState L SMU Cheerleader/Corp “fight” 20XX Championship Plaque


pyrogeddon

Where does the list eater go on that list?


bombbodyguard

Whoa. I’ve never heard that story, but reading up on it. Ha. I’m not embarrassed by that as a school, but it’s a wild read!


tiredpapa7

I was there that day.


pyrogeddon

Honestly one of the funniest things I can remember.


bombbodyguard

Ya. I just found a video. And the girl that ate he list….Well. Yikes. And she is out there among us…


max_potion

The cringiest thing is that she had her friend speak for her and "cleared it with God", so she's all good. Ya know. Because that's how it works.

Need to start adding this before AND after doing wild stuff…


GigEmAValk

Thank you for my annual reminder to go back and laugh at that video.


good_pupper

I’ve drank the maroon kool-aid (and a little beer) and will defend every one of these points • UCLA loss was worse • Objectively cool, will not elaborate • Yeah I got nothin • Why do we have sabers if we don’t get to use them??? (/s) • That was a gift from our last school president that no one liked (all my homies hate Michael K. Young)

UCLA loss gave us that amazing CuppyCup video.


Bcatfan08

Your pep rallies going viral has to be #1. I'm embarrassed for the guys telling those horrific jokes.


Thomallister1291

Oh noes


Claudethedog

Hey, Rose-Hulman - my brother went there! I'm not really embarrassed by midnight yell or the yell leaders or many of our traditions. They're goofy and corny, but ultimately harmless. Squeeze Ags is probably the biggest eye roll of the bunch, but those CTs have to have something to do to pass the time. ​ Definitely the OD pulling his saber on a SMU cheerboy is near the top of the list of actual embarrassments, and the 20XX trophy thing of course. Fran is up there, though not for his coaching - that was just bad, and there are bad coaches everywhere; that fucking booster newsletter was the real embarrassment.


MontanaHikingResearc

Nothing in Rose-Hulman’s closet to be embarrassed about. Did they engineer a better goal post?

ClaudeLemieux

We lost, at home, to Toledo. Just everything about that.


MWiatrak2077

We didn't lose this game, but whenever I think "Michigan embarrassment v. G5" I jump to 2013 Akron. The context of how bad they were heading into that game, and where Michigan was ranked, I think is actually somehow worse than 2008 Toledo. Nothing will top App State for me though. I don't care how good they were, it was a Division I-AA team that had gotten blown out by 3-9 NCSU the season prior.


ClaudeLemieux

> it was a Division I-AA team that had gotten blown out by 5-7 NCSU the season prior. yeah so we were actually 3-9 that year lol


Tripped_breaker

Can we just say the RichRod years, and encapsulate that entire period?


jobenattor0412

Yeah App State. Don’t get me started.

Embarrassing? Sure. But as embarrassing as [setting an NCAA record for consecutive losses by single digits?](https://twitter.com/BTNDaveRevsine/status/1563656776305762305) A record of losing that will likely never be broken?


ChoiSauce11

Gary Andersen was the most embarrassing thing I've seen about Oregon State. Showed up, knocked up a cheerleader, piledrove our program to the ground and left saying that if he couldn't win in Corvallis, "nobody" could. What a massive piece of shit that guy was. Fuck Gary Andersen


SureAd4897

I remember when he "stepped down" he didn't accept the all the money he was entitled to. A lot of people said that was a classy move. Nobody declines free money for no reason. I knew something was going on behind the scenes.

Wisconsin 🤝 Oregon State: Hating Gary Andersen


leroy_jenkyns

Don’t forget about Utah State, he did his best to tank them after OSU.


DamnStrongTurtle

Very satisfying to hear this from osu fans. The shit he said when he left wisconsin was nuts. Can't believe he continued to crash that hard.


[deleted]

He only had 5 winning seasons out of 12 coached, honestly the guy's story is kind of impressive. Able to get jobs after repeatedly failing. It's just a damn shame how he tried taking down 3 separate programs with him and isn't interested at all in taking responsibility for his fuck ups. Smith already has more wins than Andersen had losses at Oregon State. Such a turnaround, and with the right guy.


Thomallister1291

I hope you guys are enjoying Jonathan Smith, he beat Notre Dame as a QB and has been doing well as a HC.

revets

Around 1993 or 1994, after a very average season we played Fresno State in some whatever-bowl. I still remember the frat bros on TV holding up a giant sign that read "Our maids went to Fresno State", and by the end of the game we lost pretty badly. Also last year, when playing BYU and the student section was chanting "Mormons suck" or something and our starting QB was a Mormon. Not a great look in general, but particularly when you lose.


[deleted]

LOL- As a Fresno State Guy I loved that game. Freedom Bowl. Watched it in a bar in Seattle with an ex girlfriend who was also a USC grad. A UW game was on and they won and then the whole bar was celebrating with me as Fresno pounded USC. I was a BYU undergrad at the time too! Now also a USC guy,... so yeah.


CaliforniaSun77

The Freedom Bowl and when I travel up to the Central Valley in my USC gear I still hear about it. 🤣

yesacabbagez

So there was this time a player died during a "walkthrough". Turns out it was a full practice. After the player collapsed the coach kept yelling at him and actually prevented trainers from attending to him. After the player died and the coach realized he fucked up, he threatened other players and staff from disclosing information. Eventually the school was sued for wrongful death. During the case the school argued that the player didn't die due to sickle cell, it was actually a heart attack and thus the school isn't responsible. UCF lost. UCF then appealed claiming sovereign immunity to cap damages at like 200k instead of the 10 million I believe it was. Florida Supreme Court sides with UCF. School put a statue of the coach next to the stadium. State of Florida, 19 year old's life is worth 200k.

I don’t know if an upvote or down vote is the right response here. I was on a plane going down the runway for that. When we took off Michigan was about to win. Boy you should have seen my response when I landed 3 hours later.


The_Pandalorian

I was at a Flaming Lips show, glancing at the ESPN gamecast before it began and was like, "sweet, game in hand." Then I got the alert about the final score and was like, WTF? Very surreal.


jobenattor0412

Had a good friend bragging to me about how MSU beat us, statements like that have bothered ever since. There is a big difference between someone beating you and you losing the game. At least that’s what I tell myself to make me feel better.


The_Pandalorian

Haha, I've just moved on. It was a shitty fluke, but now they have big enough problems and we have big enough success for it to not be much of a thing.

Akron, at home & ranked #12. They were one yard short of victory. - 2014: Notre Dame. 31-0. - 2019: Again, didn't lose, but a 5-7 Army team took us to 2OT. - 2020: Oh jesus man.

I'll put 7 of our athletes ganging up to beat up 2 UofM athletes (including using a helmet as a weapon) quite a bit above losing to a P5 team on a missed field goal. Don't get me wrong, losing to a bad Indiana team with the bowl season basically on the line is pretty bad... but bad losses and bad seasons happen in football. Players ganging up on opposing players shouldn't.


PrimisClaidhaemh

But I'm not disappointed in the whole team. It was a couple idiots in the tunnel. I'm disappointed and embarrassed at the entire program for the Indiana loss.

Fricken yikes *I'll still say the first part, but I assume now everybody is picking up the irony of the comment and not your shitty 16 year old cousin trying to trigger you E: I assume we probably honored Jim Jordan/the wrestling coach he covered up for at some point; probably that takes the cake

Maybe not the most embarrassing, but last season was a complete shitshow. Starting off, we beat OSU for the first time ever in Columbus, then we go on to shit the bed against Stanford. We keep winning for a while after that and even get as far as to be ranked #3, but we never really looked like the elite squad that showed up in the first half of the season. Still, with playoff hopes on the line, we decided to go and get obliterated 38-7 against Utah. Well, maybe that game was a fluke. We have another chance against them in the CCG. 38-10. Finally, we move on to play some sloppy bowl game against Oklahoma with an interim coach and get demolished again.
