Add UH's womens team to that list. They choked big time vs Oregon tonight for the NIT championship. os
kinda ironic that Oregon plays in a building called The Pit. Chandi Jones would look really nice in a Comet uniform in 2 years.
hard to root for two division rivals...every week's games count toward who wins the division, even when they're not playing each other.
The Oilers are underacheivers even on the All-Time Chokers list! They Buffalo game was only the worst choke in a trifecta of gagging that would rival any Jenna Jameson movie. The playoff chokes to Denver (Haywood Jeffires, you will always suck) and Kansas City were nearly as bad. The Oilers of the '80's and '90's were the worst of the worst! The dumbest, most pathetic team ever...every stupid thing that could happen to a team happened to them. Suicide, coaches fighting each other in the middle of a game on national tv, babygate, the Stagger Lee, Jerry Glanville (generally), general manager Ladd Herzog *mooning* a wedding party in Buffalo, Jack Pardee wearing headphones that weren't turned on, Gifford Neilson, Oliver Luck, Commander Cody "magic fingers" Carlson, Ernest "Electric Ego" Givens (Calvin jr.), Ray "Help!" Childress, Warren "Family Man" Moon, Bud Adams and his hair...it was a mercy killing when they left! They were a baby blue nightmare that I was compelled to watch.
maybe Coach Lewis will get in next year with Clyde Drexler. How come coaches can get elected to the HOF while still coaching but players have to wait 5 years after retirement?
After Buffalo made it 35-17, I turned the game off in disgust because I knew in my heart what was about to happen. There was no bigger Oiler fan on the planet than I. I eventually turned the game back on towards the end of the third quarter, I guess because it was like watching a train wreck. But they did that all season long, didn't they? I believe that was the same season they lost to the Pats on a last second touchdown for their first loss of the season, (using that same prevent defense, by the way, thank you Jim Eddy) making them 3-1, and then Ian Howfield missing that damned field goal against the Redskins to make them 7-2. It was either that year or the year of the Denver embarrassment, I don't remember.....it's all like one, long agonizing cry of embittered astonishment to me now. The KC game broke my back in the end. I could carry the tattered Columbia Blue flag no longer. BTW, does anyone remember how well our defense was playing in that Jets game that Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride? It was beautiful. I can still remember Ray Childress running through that offensive like like they weren't there. The Jets were disillusioned on that particular evening.
I totally remember that Jets game...it was a Sunday night game, right?? you're right...the KC game was really tough...I still rooted for them, but there was the feeling that they would never, ever break through...the same feeling I got after the Astros season ended last season.
