Whats the worst loss for you?

Was just listening to Van Pelt and he's asking people that on twitter and I thought, "hey what perfect topic for TKP." He made an interesting point about how fans remember last second losses longer than the last second wins.

Surprisingly to me Boise kept coming to mind. Maybe it's because I was there and paid a physical price in both severe post game hangover and loss of voice for several days for an ultimately futile effort. It took me days to emotionally get over that game. It was ridiculous, I would lie in bed at night and think about what if this had happened or that. It actually made me question my fandom and sort of back off of it. That's been a positive for me, I just dont get so angry or bummed out about losses anymore. They're 18-22 year old kids and shit happens. It's just entertainment.

All that because we couldnt play a little 2 minute defense.

We as Hokies have a seemingly high number of heartbreakers to choose from so which one is particularly soul crushing for you?

Not a football game, but at Duke in 05 was sort of a dagger too.
