Which VT-Pitt Loss Was The Most Painful?

Pitt has upset Virginia Tech 5 times since the turn of this century, so I was wondering which one was the most frustrating to you.

I think the 2003 loss was the worst one for me. It was the first year that I really lived and died with the Hokie football team but I'm not sure 2003 was the best entry point as a 10 year old kid who thought sports was life and death.

#3 VT goes into West Virginia on a Wed. night and gets destroyed. Then #10 Tech exorcises the Miami demons by destroying the Canes and we're back in the national title picture. And then Pitt happens.

QB Rod Rutherford must've had the game of his life. WRs Larry Fitzgerald and Kris Wilson both go off for 100+ yards. Tech's up 28-24 and Pitt scores on a do-or-die 70 yard TD drive to send #5 Tech's season spiraling into the abyss. My heart sunk when Fitzgerald caught the TD pass in the last minute.
