I was 12 when we won the Rose Bowl. Peak of Husky football in my lifetime. FMFYFE.
me too, i also grew up in the Portland media market and I think the duck rise galvanized my UW identity. also the WSU Vancouver campus helped me think I was better than everyone I lived around.
My mother placed me in a dumpster outside of husky stadium the fall of 87. One of my dad's was a drunk UW med student and found me wailing in tune to the siren and decided to take me home to dad #2 as a graduation gift.
I was told Husky football saved my life, but now I wish I was left in the trash.
How would you like to earn a free Subway sandwich?
atleast they accepted the points you already had. subway is phasing that program out and you could have been stuck with no reward at all. you still should have punched the kid working though.

This is the best post of your life. I laffed like an idiot hyena. You have nowhere to go from here but down.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... anyone who is a HHB and under 35 is a goddamned saint.
Mazel Tov to all of you out there.
Why the fuck do you like Husky football, tho?
I ask myself that all the time. I contemplate giving it up every year, but I probably never will. I like Husky Football because some of my earliest childhood memories where when UW was at their peak. I have a picture of me at a game from the '91 season. I was four. It was something I bonded with my two dads over and it's stuck ever since. I would read the media guides and memorize the whole team. It has played a role in my miserable and pathetic life ever since. Other hobbies have come and gone, but Husky Football stuck.

Vancouver is so fucked
I was born and raised in Vancouver too. This post couldn't be more true.
The one thing I would add is wondering as a kid, "why don't the people on teevee ever talk about vancouver/washington?". I got a case of the civic pride (not the 75k kind) very early in life.
Any teens? (Insert creeper joke). Seriously, I ran across a few idiot teenagers on other boreds. One pretended to be a dr., another was a Coug fan who posted his pretend AAU scores.

It's not tough to build up pride when portland's JV media won't shut up about gresham and canon beach.
I remember getting to UW and being shocked that the local news was actually about the place where I lived.

My folks went to the Rose Bowl and left me home. I watched the 1964 Rose Bowl loss on the couch between my two dads. Then we sucked for 12 years.
That's why the recently retired Don James means so much to our generation
Ever.
