Still the greatest sporting event I've ever been too, beating out the 2001 Rose Bowl even. It didn't seem like Tui had a bad game at the time but rewatching is painful. He made the plays when the game was on the line though. Football was also way different back then with the way QBs played.
Dorsey wasn't ready for that game and Husky Stadium and it made a huge difference. It also took Miami too long to figure out that Clinton Portis was their best back. It still easily could have been a 20+ point difference had Tui not had needless turnovers.
NOGAF and that game has been discussed into the ground. UW got a big lead and held it long enough for the clock to run out. It's a win any way you look at it and a big one.
The 2000 Miami game was one of the best games in the history of Husky football. I don't think there is an argument there. From the get-go, the stadium was rocking, Miami was caught flatfooted, Rich Alexis was a nobody running into the endzone. Timeless game.
I was there man. Hands down one of the biggest most electric games at Husky Stadium. 1st round haymaker by the Huskies left goliath stunned. I thought the upper deck was going to come down on the fumbled punt early in the game.

Sounds like you weren’t at 1990 vs USC.. I was at both.
The 2000 Miami game Tyler Krambrink set the tone right out of the gate. Miami wasn’t prepared for how physical UW was.

1. We won, handing Miami their only loss of the season 2. Daytime game 3. Great season
It is up there with the OSU game that year except OSU was a night game. We also handed OSU there only loss of the season.
As far as I'm aware, the 2000 Washington team is the only team that beat 3 BCS bowl teams (Miami, OSU, Purdue) with two of those teams being BCS bowl winners, while we were also a BCS bowl winner.
And still the last season in which we've won a NY6 game.

I went to Alabama at A&M a couple years ago. First time in the SEC, SEC, SEC. By far the best college football gayme I've ever attended. Better than Rose Bowl, better than any of the 300ish UW games I've been to.
Started to think which games would round out the top 5. In no particular order, (not counting bowl games since the games are usually secondary to the whole trip. But nothing beats pregame at the Rose Bowl. Unless you're Peterman or Rapp)
92 Nebraska. Place was so crazy when that safety happened.
81 SC game. Monsoon, Fred Small recovering the kickoff in the endzone and everyone in the stadium filled up their trash bags and ponchos with wind and they were blowing around the stadium. Clinched the Rose Bowl, since Wazzu doesn't matter, which 12 year old Alexis would be attending for his first Bowl game. The scoreboard said bring on the Jayhawks.
00 Oregon State. I may be remembering it more fondly than it really was at the time, but that game was loaded with talent, both sides. Tripplett's TFL to make the FG harder was huge.
And since I need one more, 1982 UCLA game. 10 vs 9. DJ posted the Tom Ramsey videos a while back. The final defensive stand was pretty amazing. Crowd was insane at times.
It got me to thinking how all those UW games I've been to, and an SEC league game (albeit a pretty big one, but still) was head and shoulders above.

We don't fucking lose to Oregon State
I know your being @sarktastic but Stan Emptermens didn't play QB, Triplett didn't play an eligible receiver position, and furthermore they didn't play on the same team.

Shoutout Larry Tripplett. One of my favorite players in my formative psycho fan development years who rarely comes up. I have to admit Jerramy Stevens is one of my favorite players of all-time to watch based on pure skill and talent. Shame he was injured almost all of 2001.
