    My freshman year in Pullman to clinch the Rose Bowl. Coldest I have ever been.
    On the field after the game Larry Triplett grabbed me and lifted me up like a child, I was not a small person.
    2000 was early in the everyone has cell phones era I’m pretty sure the technology hadn’t made it to Pullman yet. I got separated from my friends at some point, couldn’t get a hold of anyone. I might have frozen to death if I didn’t just happen to run in to a guy I had worked with that summer who let me sleep on his couch.
    God, Pullman fucking sucks.

    2003, Gilby's finest moment as HC

    Worst: watching the 1982 AC from my dorm room at Central on a tiny BW set seeing the season crashing down along with the goal posts in Pullman.

    Two come immediately to mind, my first was the 1991 game. My first attended game ever. I got a free 100 years of Husky football poster which I still have to this day. Our Dwags destroyed the Coug and roses covered the field. Amazing. Two, I happened to get AC tickets to the Pickett to Williams game. Being of age for that one I was quite drunk. I remember wandering around the stadium because I'd lost my seats. I came out of a random tunnel and started partying with a small portion of the band that had popped up on my side of the field, shared a shot of my flask with a drummer and trumpet player and then celebrated with and hugged a gaggle strangers that I didn't come with or sit with all because I was too drunk to find wherever the fuck I was sitting when the pass was completed. Unreal.

    Aside: Does the Husky band still send out pockets of the band to play in different sections? Used to love that as a kid.

    i forgot about that. it was great. that was Bill Bissell. perhaps @MelloDawg can provide some inside baseball
    The 3rd quarter pep band. Brad McDavid did it as well. If there was a product on the field good enough to where I frequently went to the games, I could address if they still do it or not. Everybody seemed to like it so I don’t see why they’d ever stop it.

    2002 ?

    Gordon Reece and the bahawkwards pass. With the dasani bottles being hurled onto the field MANY with an unknown yellowish liquid inside. Last leg of the NW championship. (Was there for all three.)

    Drove back to Seattle after the game and my wife has me watch the sports recap. Turns out Hawaii and Cincinnati had a brawl because Cincnnati can't handle losing.

    Both games (post games) made national news.

    Oh, and got stopped by the State Patrol in the middle of the state for erratic driving. Thank Gwad my brother quit drinking so I was sober. He let me off once he saw I was a Husky fan.
