I'm meticulous when packing, so I've never forgotten equipment, but I have been in a hurry and not packed towels and a clean pair of underwear. Minor issues.
When football season started this year, I couldn't find my watch. My wife had done some "cleaning" and swore she didn't see it. So, I worked a couple of early games and all scrimmages without it, but told her to go get me a new one as I missed it greatly on the field. She looked again in all the stuff and found my original one -- after swearing on umpteen bibles she never came across it.
However, I can't get too mad at her. I forgot my down indicator for a jr. high game a couple of years ago (going to the game dressed) and she brought it out to me.
I would advise a checklist. I laminated a card with high school on one side and college on the other (different shoes and jackets). Now, my roller bag is big enough to keep everything in there but I still have a master list.
