That UCLA game was brutal. Remember AK 47's face on the front cover of the sports page?

I was at UCLA too. Some dude was passing around a sign up sheet for people who were interested in a Rose Bowl trip package.

Wait...what? Are you serious? Do you remember what travel company? Do you have more details on this? That is unreal.

When I was 11 years old my dad bought a Rose Bowl package trip before we had clinched, and we promptly shit the bed against the Cougs (1982)

Man, I tell you what. That 3 play drive was one of the most emotional days I have ever experienced. I was working on the broadcast for komo in Seattle, and we were talking to Rondeau and Nelson during the breaks and we thought Curtis had died on the field. It was something that was being communicated that is was a possibility. Everyone was shaken, and really couldn't grasp what was happening. Some players were hysterical and we were getting all this through the feed.
Rondeau called those plays with perfection. I put together a highlight reel for Fox Sports Northwest at the and put Rondeau's voice to the highlights. If you were a husky fan it brought chills. That pass in the corner to Justin Robbins was perfectly placed by Tui, and he just went to the ground and pointed to the sky. I believe the 2nd pass went to Elstrom and was almost picked off if I remember right.

To me it was one of the most impressive drives I have ever seen under the circumstances, the rain was so heavy most fans left the game. The people I knew down there left in the third quarter. It was absolutely miserable conditions.

That next week, of practice guys were shell shocked and slick rick was tremendous that week. I went to UW the same time as Curtis and I remember seeing him walking on campus. He was a solid guy and seeing him at the Rose Bowl in a wheel chair was just surreal.
Williams came out Bullard in Fresno CA, and he didn't have the smoothest ride. To see his smile on his face and watching his first interview for television after his injury will be something I will never forget. I can still see it clearly in my mind 12 years later.
It's partly why I am so sensitive to having the number taken off the field.

That wasn't the 200/300 game. Also, most fans didn't leave.

My response was the cheerswestdog, and his comment about the 3 play game against stanford was not impressive.

Hey JimmyDoog,

I said LESS impressive, not "not impressive". I used to believe that was the greatest drive in the history of whatever. It's still a good drive to win a football game, but I don't jerk off over it like I used to. If Ty was never the UW coach, I'd still be in an ignorant state of bliss over that drive - which is something I would take over 0-12.
