    It wasn't my pop but my Ma who was the UW fan. Dad was a baseball fan. All four of his sons disappointed the hell out of him by not playing baseball past lil' league. Ma otoh would demand silence when college football was on. Back then only Saturday afternoons on TV or radio. When the huskies were on she sent us all outside in the rain and snow, didn't matter to her. Dad's job on the RR kept him at work on Saturday's so she wrote the rules.

    I still like listening to FB on the radio

    Edit: He would cheer them on when they made it to the Rose Bowel

    There’s something strangely comforting about listening to a football game on AM radio.
    Kids today don't realize that 81 percent of Husky games were radio only into the 80s
    The '82 UW (8-1) vs. ASU (9-0) game was on the radio and closed circuit TV

    I recall watching the '82 Apple Cup via closed circuit with a bunch of friends in Terry Hall. Either that, or it might have been on komo4buttfuckers, but I was too drunk to recall.

    And either way, it was interesting.

    I watched the '82 Apple Cup on TV so I think you're thinking of the ASU game

    My Dad was/is a hater. Grew up Mormon, hated UW because we? refused to play BYU. Which was really probably the most Mormon thing about him.

    Plus he grew up in Eastern Washington and always had a soft spot for the fucking coogs.

    Thankfully he didn't really GAF about college football so my burgeoning doogdom slipped under his radar until it was too late.

    I suppose he really just needed more tim.

    When did UW refuse to play BYU?
    UW never played BYU until 1985. Not sure when in other sports.

    Pretty sure the official policy started in the 60's, but I've never researched it. What I was told is that UW boycotted BYU because BYU wouldn't allow black students until the 60's and Mormons wouldn't allow black people in the temple (until the late 70's). I'm guessing the policy was dropped in the late 70s and the 85 game was booked sometime around the turn of the decade but I have no real clue. Just know my Dad's family (super Mormon) always resented UW and it rubbed off on Dad (not super Mormon).

    The 86 rematch at Husky Stadium is one of my more memorable games
