    Those UW regular season games don't fit on the list at all.

    Yeah, personally I'd leave off the 2000 Miami game. I don't remember a lot of hype and buildup to it. We came in ranked about 15th.

    I know you are being sarcastic but those Rosebowls didn't take place in Seattle.

    Our eventual Rose Bowl trophy, Marques, and Triplett disagree.

    Ken Dorsey might also disagree seeing as it was one of about 3 total college losses.

    Doesn't say anything about buildup. Games and experiences can be considered watershed after the fact. I hate pulling this card, but "if you were there," you probably understand why DJ has that game on his list. I grew up in Texas and didn't know a thing about UW football (other than 91) until I started attending college there in '99. I'd been to lot of big games in Texas, the south, etc growing up, but the electricity at that 2000 Miami game still might be the most I've ever felt. It was like a 747 landing on your head for 3 hours. It really was a special game considering Miami's streak, the mind boggling amount of talent on the field, and about 100 other reasons.

    You could say that about several games like the '92 Nebraska game, the '91 N game, the '86 TOSU game, or even the '09 USC game and '99 Stanfraud game. There's no doubt that Miami team was loaded, but a lot of them were fairly young and they were still coming into their own. I'll admit that I couldn't watch it live so maybe I missed out (I have seen parts of it on Youtube and replays).

    Getting absolutely destroyed by them a yr later took a bunch of the luster off too. It was like 65 to 7, and in my opinion, that game along with the Oregon State and UCLA, were the preludes to the 2004-2008 shitshow.

    The shitshow actually ran from 2003-2013, truth be told.

    I've been around a long time to include Seattle's short history on this #fuckingdreckfest of a planet. So the best I saw was Seattle's 1917 Stanley Cup title, which happened AFTER Washington State Agricultural College's last Rose Bowl win. Seattle will win another Stanley cup before that ever happens again.

    None of the sporting events now compares to the sports back in my day: gladiator matches. It started going down hill after the Roman Gladiator League started banning swords to the head.

    And yes, I like movies about gladiators. But it's nothing like the real thing.
