Before I even read the choices 1969 came to mind...but the 30 year drought that we all thought may end in 1998 made that loss even tougher IMO

i too went with the '98 game. walking through the streets after the game, the silence and looks on peoples' faces were eerie.

I'd say the 1998 vs. Mich. State game....I've seen alot of Bucks games including my first OSU vs. USC '69 Rose Bowl on black and white TV  and all the other games you fine "Gents" have been listing, but to finally come home to Columbus and go in person to my very first OSU game and seen in person the colors that I bleed....  ...oh I can't go on...I can't re-live this....the painful walk out of the shoe and to see us throw nothing but passes in the last 1:29 of the game, when all we had to do was a pitch out and it's 7.....yes 7 points and we're back to Tempe'.....then finding my truck....it was towed....walking down high street and MSU fans saying my coat (team) sucks?..............My throat parched..dry...need a brew..anybody....maybe the dispatch will have it right..."Dewey wins"
That game was an embarrassment to TOSU football program and Coop needed his head out of the sand again!
Sorry..my first OSU game in person! |

MSU '98. Incredibly talented team, could have been a NC. I don't think I'll ever forget watching that one on TV- when we were intercepted at the last minute it felt like someone had kicked me square in the stomach. I walked around in a daze for most of the next week.

I will NEVER get over the 98' MS game. Probably 2nd for me (not close to #1) would be C. White fumbling before crossing the goal line, and the officials give usc the TD, anyway. To me, that was a game taken from us.

This was a tough one. I was at the '93' fiasco in the Big House, so I had to go with that one 
I would rank the MSU loss right up there too, especially leading 23-9 deep into the third quarter.
Another one that could have gone on the list was the game against UM in the shoe (80 I think) when Art ran the option on 4th and 1 at the goal line at the end of the game. It was in and win or get stopped and lose. If Art makes the pitch we win. He doesn't and sticks his head in the line and gets stuffed. Argh............ |

For me it was the 98 MSU game. I still remember going to church with OSU up 23-9 in the 3rd quarter thinking the game was over and than coming out to the car to find out that we lost. I think what made this the toughest lose because it was the first time that we had a legitimate shot at winning the title that I was a fan for. I was depressed until we thumped Scum a couple of weeks later.
