I would have also chosen '19 to present. It's not even depressing... just frustrating that dumbasses in charge are content with mediocrity at best. -
'93- '9802-15 is probably the right answer because of sheer depths of failure but 93-98 should have been the absolute golden era of this program.

'64- '76I was three years old in 1959 and my first memories were of Rose Bowl wins and a national championship. Contrary to popular belief the 1960 team that beat Minnesota was acknowledged at the time in the press book as the Maxwell Trophy National champs
Then again after the 1963 season, another Rose Bowl.
I was left behind when the folks went to the Wisconsin Rose Bowl and spent my youth upset that we? weren't within 100 miles of getting back there.
It would be like if you were 5 years old in 1990. Three straight Rose Bowls and a natty.
93-98 was second. Ty was the cure. In 08 Saban went 12-0 in his second year while we did Owen. From then on I've just enjoyed Saturdays. I love the game, hate the players -

I wasn't alive for most of the first one and didn't have full consciousness of Husky Football in the 80's.PurpleBaze said:Janet Reno

The mid 90s were pretty frustrating no doubt, but I was pre-occupied with row boat and trying to dole out some honest poundings. Plus as bad as the Lambo era was, The Dawgs were still the top game in town and Husky stadium was usually packed and rocking.
'02 to '15 was horrific, but I didn't lurk or post much on the internet, so it was I missed the Half Brain wars entirely.
For me, the choice is obvious. The highs of 2016 + the internet are a toxic fucking stew. -
'02- '15They're all depressing, but 02 - 15 was during my college years at the beginning and subsequent years pre-kids/wife where I should've had a lot more fun going to games.

I was born into the same trap, by the time I was 7, we had gone to 3 Rose bowls and won a Natty.RaceBannon said:I was three years old in 1959 and my first memories were of Rose Bowl wins and a national championship.

2009 was the most fun summer of my life. That the Dawgs sucked didn't matter. I still had shit ton of fun at Husky Stadium that fall.BleachedAnusDawg said:They're all depressing, but 02 - 15 was during my college years at the beginning and subsequent years pre-kids/wife where I should've had a lot more fun going to games.
Now I'm old and boring and married with children. I need this to not suck. -

I should add to that I didn't completely hate Seattle during most of the 2002- 15 downturn.
God smiting the Dawgs during the 2019 Cal game and CHOP/CHAZ in the 2020 really fucked with my psyche. -
