This was Cal. Last game UW won before Owen arrived. I was there. Good times.PurpleBaze said:We attended a shit game, played by a shit Ty team, in shit weather in 2007. Can't remember the opponent. We left at halftime. It was one of the last Husky games I attended.

Should probably be in the Doog Confession thread, but I was one of like 10 people to stay for the entire 2006 OSU game. Rainy, windy, shitty loss that was highlighted by Stanback losing his leg.

Maybe this is the shit game I'm thinking about. Or, it could have been the Cal game that @AEB mentioned above.UWhuskytskeet said:Should probably be in the Doog Confession thread, but I was one of like 10 people to stay for the entire 2006 OSU game.

Anyway, that was a long fucking time ago and it's a distant bad memory. -
2013 Arizona game. My Texan wife went to UT-Austin and we had split season tickets with her 2 dads. After taking in the Austin football scene, I wanted to show her Seattle/UW and that there is actually football outside of the Big-12/SEC. Booked late September Arizona game thinking it'll be perfect weather, even booked the booze-cruise from Ballard, hoping for a great experience for her.
As we get close to the game, the weather is looking horrible 100% of rain/wind. she got layered up like she was going to be an extra on the Revenant, we have matching UW ponchoes. Literally the hardest rain I've ever experienced in Seattle, the stadium lights were on at 3pm, it rained 2" during the game. I couldn't even get a photo because the phone touchscreen wont work when its wet. At halftime she was all pumped up for a chowder breadbowl and hot chocolate to warm up. wait in line for the whole halftime and they've run out of both but are willing to sell her the empty breadbowl for $9, I shit you not. Cold, wet, hungry, and angry, it was the worst introduction possible, but probably the most accurate representation of my experience since 2003.
It confirmed every fear she had about Seattle weather, and she now refuses to consider moving there. -

Pretty sure UW dominated Cal in 2007, so probably this game. I was still Doogin' it up as we were 4-2 and just coming off a close loss @SC. This loss was demoralizing and a gentle reminder that Ty was still the head coach.PurpleBaze said:
