for me it would be the 1990 USC game. I was 8 years old and for the first time really got that this was a big deal and feeling good about it
I was nine years old and out of town at my grandparents in Montana and had to read about it in the Sunday paper when I got home. I saw less of that game than Todd Marinovich and GrandpaSankey did. I spent many a moment trying to picture Chico Fraley taking that pick back for six.
Growing up in MINNESOTA all I knew was smashmouth BIG TEN football.
Then one crisp fall day two ranked teams from Washington showed up on my television. I remember Ryan Leaf throwing the ball around the field and I remember not having any concept of the geography of Washington or either school or their history.
I guess in hindsight that was a big game for the Cougs.

Too bad you weren't around in 1960 so I could trash talk you about taking your natty away

You can trash talk my grandpa. He has a hard time on the internet but I can print your posts out for him.
I was too little to care or understand the ramifications of the loss, but I do have a vague memory of my Dad drinking in the car after the game muttering to himself.
I've detailed this story before. The first game I attended I shit my pants (literally) when Roc took Lowe's blocked FG to the house. My panties contained all ejectulants. I made it to the toilet, flushed them, and returned to my seat in time to catch Lowe's pick 6. We? upset No 11 Michigan 23-18. It was the first time I ever tried 8 vodka Red Bull's.
Listening to the radio my ma had won at the drugstore. 5 kids and we had to be absolutely quiet. I still love listening to football on the radio. I think that was the 1960 season - I am an old fart
All youse guys who put the Wayne Cody pix and comments. IIRC he used to do the Vegas FB predictions and his comment was "I don't like it, reverse it"
and CSB about big guy Wayne. Me and Mrs. Whidbey (number 2 before Mrs. Lebam) were at McRory's and I came back from the can and she is sitting with another lady. The lady was a reporter my wife had gone to school with and was waiting for Wayne. So I went off on what a fat fuck he was, ranted and raved for a solid 3-4 minutes. Commenting about how could any woman go with that fat slob, etc. Of course, I could not be shut up. After calming down, the lady informed me she was Wayne's girl friend."
Not the first time or the last tim I opened mouth and inserted foot.
Sonny Sixkiller probably junior year. After the games my two moms would go down to Hec Ed and get plastered with the Tyees. Sometimes my friends and I would sit and watch as the cheerleaders would perform for all these drunk fucks. Sometimes we would just hang out in the stadium and roam the concourses for what seemed like hours. One time we came across a huge garbage bag full of popcorn. I don't know how we snuck it out of the stadium and back into Hec Ed without getting caught. I know, csb.

One of my biggest disappointments in life.
