NOT EVEN CLOSE to a WV or Louisville.
I get this raw right now...but this game may not even have impacted what bowl we attend....if we lose to MSU, they will get Detroit with 6 wins.
We wanted to go to a non Detroit, non Pinstripe bowl right?
I think the goal was 7 wins....for those who said 8...we're going to compare that to missing a BCS bowl? Really?
People were saying playoff in September...in October it was we're a 4 win max team...in November, lose a close game to a good team after becoming bowl eligible...and it's full on tilt
Kinda reminds me how we blew it vs Maryland last year and then dominated Miami and it went from meltdown to sunshine. Should be interesting in the next month plus

WV snow-game, don’t recall the year.
And when we played… Washington, was it? Super late game, ended around 2:30 or 3am.
Watched it with @RU848789 at the olive branch. That one was a painful loss.

Just as a stand alone game (not relative to big picture) this was the worst.
as a game going down to the wire...this is about as bad as it gets. Having basically comeback to win, a 60 minute chop, praising AK, gutting it out despite a horrific defense that stepped up the last drive
I can accept getting beat on a 58 yard fg and tip your cap, the way today happened was devestatating.
a missed opportunity for a huge impact win and a chance for a very good bowl, now RU relegated into the shitty detroit bowl and same old Schiano cannot get it done in the big spots

yep..a qb we couldnt get to and they continually made big plays that our D couldnt stop...except Teddy only had one leg
really I know our fanbase doesnt think Illinois is a sexy name but this was the biggest single meaningful game for the program given the late season stakes since Louisville 2012
Yes totally, they're going to pick 6-6 RU for Detroit (bc no way we win next week, right) over 6-6 MSU for Detroit.
Why not just say we won't make any bowl? Just make things up to fuel the rage.

On my VHS tape library of games that one is titled:59 YEARS AND 59 MINUTES.
That's how long the time was since we beat them at home and how long we held the lead in this one.
I agree the impact of this loss isn’t severe, but it is the #1 loss due to monumental stupidity that Shelby has ever witnessed.
#2 was the decision to go first in overtime at Illinois after winning the toss in the Leonard Leap 85 yard TD run game at Illinois ( Shelby thinks 2006 but not sure of exact year).
2005. 2006 should have been immediately nonsensical to any diehard.
It’s not as meaningful as the Louisville loss in 2012, which if we would have won would have played UF in the Sugar Bowl. However, I think this is the worst loss since then. Besides how the game was lost which was terrible, several streaks continue, not beating a ranked team for the 40th straight game (terrible) and now not being able to have a winning record in the B1G schedule. Very upsetting. A bad loss.
We lost to Wash.St in 2015 on a few seconds to go pass into the end zone from Luke Falk to River Cracraft.
When there are so many, who cares? Typical.

Michigan State at 6-6 will go Pinstripe or a better bowl because they simply have a better travelling fanbase, why waste them in Detroit
perfect opportunity for 6-6 RU to go to Detroit.

washington
today would have been top 3, that Washington is 3rd really speaks to how bad our program has been in the Big 10
beat usf when they were a phony #2 doesnt mean that much
was arky 4-8 that year
miami was not at home and a bowl so leave them out and no one played for them
I think the Iowa State Pinstripe bowl is a top 5 win for GS
As bad as it gets !
The venom - and rightfully so- skewed towards Schiano was intense leaving the stadium.
To lose a game like that when the team played their hearts out and left everything on the field is shattering
A Pop Warner coach would have won that game in last few seconds !
I feel terrible for the team - especially Athan and Kyle - that they lost this game because of coaching malfeasance by Schiano once again!

When was the last time we beat a ranked team, and when was the last time we won a home finale? This was a bottom 5 loss for me, fan since 2002.
what a fine line...let that fg go and we are partying tonight, a shot at going to Florida and finishin 8-4 and praising this team for chopping the win and absolute praise on AK for the comeback
instead we are full of bile and venom and negativity and YET another missed opportunity for GS to move the program forward...a pattern in the past but one we have already seen this season
in the end winning matters
Fresno St. I believe. First game under Flood. Janarian Grant returned the first KO to Rutgers to the house.
Late game or 2nd half blunders..VWU snow bowl but that was on operations.
Gut punches for just losing when the pins were set up..@VWU 06, @Cincy06, @Uconn for BEast title.

What sucks is being irrelevant again. BTN may spend about 1 minute mentioning the MSU game. Was nice the past week when any BTN shows this past week would mention RU and the win streak.
Illinois is top 25 and RU isn't so Illinois winning isn't a shocker like UNH
Cincy was worse loss since RU was good and just got lost between the ears the week after Louisville
Today was a bad ending but the game was sketchy before the ending (allowing 250 yds passing on 12 throws, AKs fumble etc).
Best team won even if not by much

As far as home games:
Louisville 2012 (most at stake)
Penn State 2014
Cincinnati 2007 (Mike Teel interception on would be game winning drive)
Eastern Michigan 2017 (embarrassment and disappointment)
Illinois 2024 (most absurd way to lose a game)
