    I wish Husky Stadium could get that loud again

    I was there and outside of the 92 Nebraska game, that was the loudest I remember Husky stadium. Impressive, considering the second deck wasn't installed and the sound wasn't enclosed
    1:25 mark louder than shit just before pick

    The rightful order of life. Look at the bottom 3

    Ahhh the good old days. Don't forget about gas being a $1.11 a gallon.

    No video board. No vomit inducing advertising. Students and band at mid field

    Crisp fall day. Two dads

    No replay. TV timeouts were shorter if it was even on TV

    It was just better
    Watching that video, during the timeouts you hear the sounds of the stadium, as its not all drowned out by pumped-in rap or rock music.

    2 weeks later the bottom team cost me a Disneyland and Rosebowl trip. Too soon!

    Go to the 2:02 mark as UCLA begins its final drive of the game.

    UCLA was undefeated, UW had been ranked #1 in America but lost to Stanford the week before.

    UCLA and Washington both ranked in the Top 10.

    Washington leads 10-7 with 2:57 left in the game.

    At one point, UCLA throws an incomplete pass on 2nd and 10. There was a holding call on UCLA. Don James DECLINES the holding penalty.

    Exciting ending to the ballgame. Bill Stapleton with the ferocious hit!

    I still remember that hit and that game. What a blast.

    Unfortunately that hit is a targeting penalty now, and he's out of the game and UCLA and John Lee kicks a chip shot FG to tie the game.

    I miss the giant shoulder pads on the defense, but I can't believe I never noticed how ridiculous they look on the QB.

    Final note, Tom Ramsay had one of the greatest porn staches in football history.

    The rightful order of life in 1982 - 40 years ago.
