Worst weekend ever as a Cyclone fan?

[fcclone]

Well, that's more of a human kind bad weekend. For most humans anyway.

Kind of puts things in perspective though. No?

As I've gotten older these don't bother me as much. Cheer them when they do good, try to shrug my shoulders when they lose. The players and coaches are way more invested in the season than me. Sad for Carr though he had a heck of a season

The weekend sucked but I’m not classifying it as worst ever. Maybe it had the most disappointments for one 24 hour period.

I’m glad I quit kxno several years ago, they will be giddy as can be Monday

In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd spent a little more time at Parks Library than falling in love with Cyclone sports while I was a student. Or at least...maybe more time in Gilman Hall working on a formula for Cyclone sports heartbreak.

Yeah, I assumed we were talking about actual sports results, or things directly affecting the programs like coaches leaving or something. Human tragedy belongs in a class all its own.

Went scoreless a whole weekend during Veisha once. Much worse.

Any weekend when Kansas losses can't be all that bad.

 

[CloniesForLife]

I was pretty disappointed with that men's game yesterday just because it was so hard to watch. But I'm over it at this point and moved on. I know it's probably a lot harder on the players than me

I recall a really rough weekend around the mid-00s. Maybe it was one of the football games we lost that would have put us in the Big 12 championship game coupled with a bad basketball loss or lost recruit or something.

Time heals all wounds, but until then there is always alcohol.

 

[FerShizzle]

No. Not even to 10. Losing meaningful games is so much better than playing meaningless ones.

 

[RonBurgundy]

I was super nervous for Carr.

Not the worst weekend ever. Just kinda sad.

Probably the FB loss at Mizzou

Probably the FB loss at Mizzou

Mizzou was at home. KU was on the road.

Some quick research tells me that we lost at KU in 2005 in OT to lose a spot in the Big 12 title game, then the 23rd-ranked Cyclones MBB team got destroyed in Hilton by Iona that night.

So maybe that's what I was thinking of.

I knew there was something to this and looked it up.

Loss in Lawrence that screws up the Big 12 Title game deal.

BBall got pantsed 89-72 by Iona in the Cyclone Challenge.

 

[cyclones500]

Worst for basketball was 99-00 in the same day within 2 hours of each other mbb loses in elite 8 and wbb lose in sweet 16 on a layup at the buzzer.

For tournament weekend "worsts," that has to be at top or extremely close to it.

This might crack the top 3 worst sports weekends in March.

Ever? No.

Through the years, I've seen CF posts by fans who attended both ... that had to be the biggest bummer.

I remember the moment of silence at the football game. Made the “bad thing” real to me, although I knew no one involved.
