Good call. That WSU game, in 1995, was rated the second-best UA comeback of the past 20 years or so by our Steve Rivera.

How about the 38-game winning streak against the WSU cougs in men’s basketball? INCLUDING the game led by Damon Stoudamire where UA came from 11 points behind with less than 2 minutes to play, sending the game into overtime with the help of a TECHNICAL FOUL called on the coug FANS, and UA winning in double overtime. That was magic.

AG- How about the sell out streak at McKale? Must have been at least 20 years.

Jason Donald’s hitting streak is still active. He got a hit in the final 26 games of his UA career. If could find a way to get his eligibility back he could pick up where he left off.

Mark,
Send me a photo of Jennie from the Citizen archives and I’ll correct that lapse in judgment.

Dude, you put a big orange-faced Lute at the top of the post and a small Jennie Finch photo at the bottom? Photos of Mrs. Daigle should always be above the scroll. Anyway, I was going to say the 71-game McKale winning streak was the most significant of these streaks until I read about Enke's 81 games at Bear Down. Sure, they were playing Never Heard Of It U back then, not UCLA and Duke, like the Olson teams did, but still, six years without a home loss no matter the era is pretty impressive.
