What is your 1st memory of Husky Football?

Unfortunately for me it was the 1994 road game against Oregon. I was only 5 at the time and just beginning to understand football. I knew what a touchdown was but little else. I vividly remember as my family and I were walking to the stadium, there was a guy on top of his RV taking the biggest piss I've ever seen to this day. He must have been holding it in for quite a while because that motherfucker got some distance. I also remember some duck fans yelling things at us, but can't recall what was said. We were sitting in one of the endzones, and was fascinated with the net raising up behind the uprights because it was pretty much all I could see. I don't remember much about the game until the very end. I know my dad was chirping some quook fans because we were driving and about to put the game away. Then tHe pIcK happens, can't see shit, we lose, I was too dumb at the time to realize it and was asking my parents why we were leaving. The fucked up thing is I remember that green and yellow retard unleashing his bladder better than anything else that day. Probably for the better.

probably 6-7 years old and my first memory is sitting with my dad watching the Don James Coaches Show on KOMO (with the fat host?) where he breaks down all the plays. At first I thought it was boring, but then I understood the game and enjoyed it each week.

95 was the season I really started to get into football. Squeaking out a win against Army, losing to Notre Dame and the tie with USC stick out the most.

I remember hearing about the stadium collapse in 1987. I was 9

The first Husky game I attended was the 1988 Army vs. UW game as 10 year old kid. I remember thinking the Dawgs had no shot because who could be tuffer or stronger than ARMY? I can remember being mesmerized by the immense size of the stadium and the noise of the crowd. I couldn't see shit because we were low to the field behind the Army bench and I couldn't see over anyone's head. Carry Conklin lead the Dawgs to victory, 31-17 that day.

This SI was kept by our World Book Encyclopedias on the shelf by the fireplace thus signifying the great importance of it. I also had the press book from the UW Minnesota Rose Bowl that my folks went to without me. That is my first memory

Taking a campus tour in high school and realizing UW was “Washington.” I vaguely remembered people talking about that team when I was forced to watch Cowboys playoff games in the very early 90s.

I had a teacher in 4th Grade that was a huge Coug fan. I believe it was 97 the year they went to the Rose Bowl with Leaf. I went to a catholic private school, and every day we did this stupid thing where we could say things we were praying for. I prayed that UW would win the Aloha Bowl, and that Michigan would beat wazzu. We had a private conversation after that and I was no longer allowed to pray for anything football related.

I think I've told this story before.

When Reser Stadium was Parker Stadium....there was a gravel road behind the stadium and we were walking back to the car. The Huskies won...I was about 7 or 8 years old and was waving a Husky flag that my mom attached to a wooden dowel.

Two college kids came running by and grabbed my flag and started to run off. I was devastated. What they didn't know that the large black guy about 10 yards directly behind us was my older "brother." He hip checked the kid and he went flying...picked up my flag. "Wave that motherfucker!"

Is that purple? Where's the pant stripes?

My first real memory is the Ohio State game in 1986.

ah, right. Wayne Cody.

For some reason, all I could think of was that Reveen did a Husky show.

There was a line from early Almost Live, "... and the fog was thicker than Wayne Cody's midsection." Weird how stupid stuff like that sticks in the brain.

Back in the late 70s I believe. Was playing Oregon St. It was a game early in the year so it was still pretty warm. UW decided to trot out an actual dog sled, pulled by someone's pet dogs. They would run it around the track whenever UW scored. UW scored somewhere in the neighborhood of 63 points. I think they killed 2 of the dogs. The sled was moving much slower by the second half.

That was the last I saw of the actual dog sled. The Husky Helmet took over soon after.

Bruce King did Komo after Keith Jackson

Cody was 710 Kiro. A sports radio pioneer to be honest. They started him to pimp the Seahawks broadcasts

Got a pic with a cheerleader outside the stadium when I was around 8 or 9 maybe. Got some sweet UW cards one was Cody Pickett

The cheerleader, not Cody - though he was a strapping handsome young buck. Amirite, @Dennis_DeYoung ?

Not even slightly. Might be able to find the pic if my mom feels like looking around sometime though

My first real memories were of the 84 team and the controversy with BYU. We had mormon neighbors who were huge BYU fans, and my dad and grandfather talked enormous amounts of shit to them. First game I saw in person was in 91 against Arizona. Their QB (George Malauulu) nearly died that day. Seeing that defense in person was something else.

I was there!

Oddly enough we hosted them in 90 as well and I was also at that massacre - second game I ever attended.

90 San Jose State was my first.
