One thing I’ll always remember is Chris Jackson talking shit and then backing it up. Respect

I remember being so annoyed by how many coug fans were there... I think it was close to a 50/50 split... great amotsphere... fitting end to one of the most disappointing seasons of all time...

I lost it in the 2nd quarter after the huskies returned an int for a td to cut the coug lead... Yelling fuck you cougs and flipping off all of their fans around us... I wish I still cared that much...

I was there, man! Yeah, the atmosphere was great especially considering it was raining if I remember correctly. I remember the comeback, the place was rocking, so much shittalking... then Brock rolls back and throws a rainbow up into double coverage and Coug fans are dancing on the field. That loss hurt, now, it's expected and normal

Actually that was probably the best one I went to. Edit. I was thinking prior year

The best atmosphere would have been the 1981 Apple Cup. Winner went to the Rose Bowl.

That season was such a dud. Plus losing to asshole pillhead Leaf...

At least the Christmas Dawgs got healthy enough to plunger Saban’s Mich State team later.

Amirite?!?
