Maybe Oregon beating UW in '94
Really? I don't think it's even #1 for UW fans. I would say 91 Nebraska is more reminisced about.
Quite honestly I'd say this one is in the second tier along with All @GrandpaSankey Saw Was Purple, the 92 RB and the Whammy in CreepyCuog. Maybe a tad above Boomer Sooner.
Fuck do we ever need a signature game in the Petermen era.
I could add more from the 1970s Rose Bowls, but Don James already has four signature games in my top five.
The signature games of the Petersen era: ending Sark's career at USC and breaking the curse 70-21.
The thrashing of Oregon felt like a restoration of truth and justice, so it makes my top five.
Putting 1990 USC over breaking Miami's 54 game home winning streak just personifies the unmanly UW mancrush on USC that is just so unmanly. Jimminy Christmas you guys love those Trojans.
The 2000 Miami game is even bigger than 1990 USC. That 2000 Miami team went on to get their shit together and didn't lose again and presaged one of the GOAT teams the following year.
2016 Oregon??? You actually care about that? My Kewgs have beaten the current iteration of the Ducks 3 years running. Be better.
Fuck I'm agreeing with Creep. The 2000 team is weird because it holds a place in what if Doog heaven.
The 2000 victories over Miami and Oregon State legitimize that team significantly. What Miami did the following year was legendary and Oregon State was the best team in the country after they ass raped ND in the Fiesta.
That was a huge win as far as perception of the program goes.

Babushka became a legend according to the OSU AD
I was there for the game with my dad. All kinds of weird shit fell in favor with uw that season. Alexis Serna, eventual Lou Groza winner shanked a gimmy. Without that Tui isn't a legend.
Serna also missed extra points at LSU, he's the reason a bullshit Pac program didn't upset an SEC contender.
Basically, the best kicker in college football missed every kick that actually mattered and was still rewarded.

I see what you're saying. But for me:
1992 Rose Bowl: National Championship 1985 Orange Bowl: National Championship (fuck off, BYU) 1990 USC: Huskies were underdogs against the number-5 team in the country, and then destroyed them. It was a break-out game heralding a three-year run of competing for best in the country. 1991 Nebraska: Key to the championship season.
I can't put any games from the 2000 season above those. Maybe above the 2016 signature games---Stanford and Oregon. But I put 2016 Oregon on top of the 2000 games. While those were incredible wins and make my top seven, the 2000 season was an aberration during a period of crushing mediocrity. The 2016 signature games bore more in common with those from 1990-91: big wins, and they marked an era, not just a single season, of greatness.
Still, I respect your reasoning and wouldn't criticize anyone making a different subjective conclusion about the 2000 games relative to 2016. I can also understand someone viewing 2016 Stanford as a bigger win than 2016 Oregon.
As for creep, GTFO, especially with that 1994 Miami shit. That was a fun game, but the Huskies were 7-4 that year and just starting the mediocre Lambright era. The game had no bigger meaning than the game itself. Maybe it was fun to spoil Miami's winning streak, but big whoop. Dawgs aspire to be champions, not spoilers. Maybe as a coog you don't understand that.
I can’t believe we? lost to the fucking coogs that year.
We lost to Oregon off a 4th down miscommunication between Jeremy Stevens and Tui. It was open, they fucked it up.
My junior high self was devastated. Probably the source of my alcoholism.
So I went to every game that year. That game made me self medicate for like 6 days. But I popped off after winning a rose bowl and telling people who said Oregon State was really the best team to fuck off and make a fucking play when it matters. Scoreboard assholes.

Fuck do we ever need a signature game in the Petermen era.
You can minimize it all you want but 44-6 over Stanford, after years and years of being bullied by them, was in every definition a signature win. It leveled the program up, validated Petersen at UW, and funneled us to the P12 championship and a return to relevance. Fuck, we beat them so bad their still-warm corpse got assraped by WSU the following week. Stanford still won 10+ games. They were a good team.
edit: maybe you meant to say another signature win?
No, I mean a National signature win against an elite big time OOC program. Say what you want about the Tree and how meaningful it was to us and the PAC but everyone else nationally gave fuck all about it. Doubly so because Stanford lost to the coog as well the next week which meant everyone could discount UW's win even if part of it was because we beat the shit out of them. The Tree is a GOOD program but they are not ELITE. Nevermind, that nobody watched it nationally anyways bc FS Larry Scott.
Sorry not sorry but there's no fucking way I'm going to remember the Stanford ass raping the way I remember something like All I saw was Purple, the Whammy in Miami, Tui's Rose Bowl, or even watching my dad's VHS copy of the Sooner Schooner. Those games are a part of the mythos of this school and program and even more largely, college football itself. The Tree game is never going to have an ESPN 30 for 30 produced about it.

You'll get your chance against Auburn. That's your game. It's a must win for husky relevance. Win that game and have the balls to NOT start Brownsocks in 2018 and I'll admit Pete might just be a top 5 coach. Lose and it will be tough to convince coogs, quooks and the rest of the conference that Pete is as good as advertised.

1. I didn't define signature so goalposts *shrug. Had we beat SC either of the last two years I'd have taken it as signature as well. They would have counted as close enough to Elite. The only reason it's our "signature" win is because we haven't had anything better to hang our hat on. 2. No one outside of the Pac cares. It's not completely our? Fault. It's also the conference's but that is what it is. We've had wins that were circle your calendar across the nation type games. 3. Lmk when they make the 30 for 30 Raping of the Tree! I'll circle it on my calendar.
The point stands, a game like Auburn, a Pac championship against a good SC, or a NY6 win against a good P5 opponent would drastically help the program and help define the era.

Nope. Coug further exposed them by winning by 4 TDs down on the farm a weak later. Try again.

3. OK!
The only games worth mentioning that perked the ears of the nation we failed miserably.
Nobody knew how good Miami or Oregon State was going to be in 2000 so it wasn't a really circle your calendar game.
By that metric, Michigan 2001 was the last big time win we've had, which is pretty sad..
