1) 1990 I'm in 6th grade and one of my 2 dads takes me to Pullme and the Apple Cup. First, he didn't want to walk around the Student line to get in the Field house, so he took me through the student line decked in P&G. One of the cuog fathful let me know I was personally #1.
I go into the stadium early and someone calls in a bomb threat. PA announcer instructs everyone already in the stadium to look under their seats and if they see anything suspicious to stand up and raise their hands over their heads. The entire student sections stands and raises their hands up. The PA announcer "this is not a joke"
Lastly at Martin Stadium for players to get to the field from the locker room they had to cross the concourse in plain view of all. At the half, I stopped Mark Brunnel and get an autograph. That he stopped for 11 yo me is me and signed my ticket stub is a moment I will never forget.
2) Picket to C Williams. Sheer pandemonium in the stadium. Indelible moment..
3) In Pullme with the 2000 Rose Bowel team. Cold. As. Fuck. Up 4 or 5 scores at the half, peace out bitches. Apparently a WSU player felt the same and packed up his locker at the half, never to return. I seem to recall @dnc will know that famous WSU player's name who should be enshrined with a statue at Montlake.
Only tim ive been to Pullman, rushed the field and was chanting rose bowl rose bowl with Chad Ward in front if me.

Sitting in the end zone for the 2008 Apple Cup was memorable. Haven't decided whether it was my favorite, but it was the perfect ending to that season.

2002 in Pullman, 3OT's was insane. It was edgy all day in town. Cuog were feeling it, nearly constant jawing in the streets and "no dogs welcome" on several business fronts. Fun as shit, electric.
On the field afterward while full coke bottles rained down, thumping the turf all around us...
We celebrated in the shade. I hugged Greg Carothers, I'm not sure he wanted me to. -
You lost 20-9Cougzz said:Although my Cougs lost the ‘89 AC in Seattle I was thoroughly entertained when police maced UW students rushing the field. ‘We’ had a lousy team and lost by a ton, but the post-game cops v. kids scrimmage was heart-warming.

I've usually sat in the upper deck over the years, and I don't remember seeing that happen since maybe 1995 or 2000.MelloDawg said:
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.DerekJohnson said:
i forgot about that. it was great. that was Bill Bissell. perhaps @MelloDawg can provide some inside baseballtheknowledge said: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. -
Similar but different but one of my markers for the death of Husky football was I've always sat in the lower Southeast side of the stadium and the cheerleaders would come by a few times during the game and do some cheers down on the track below us. Then one game in the mid-2000s when things had officially gone to shit the section booed them away because no one wanted to cheer for getting beaten at home by Cal or some shit.DerekJohnson said:

They never came back in another game from what I remember. -

My recollection of Husky football is hazy after 2003 for good reason so I wouldn’t begrudge you for not remembering. That said, it occurred while I was there. I was active participant in it.DerekJohnson said:

Probably 2015 the Cougars were 8-3 and feeling plucky. Gabe Marks got mad then got his knee wrecked. It was a year the Cuogs thought they could win which always makes things better. It was their best year since 2003 and they absoluteky took it on the chin. It was a sign that things were looking up under Petersen and gave me hope.
