Story time with Uncle Race

RaceBannon · September 2014

It was way back when Gilby was the coach, his first year. The Huskies were set to play Oregon State at Corvallis. A loss would ensure the first losing season since 1976 when Don James did not have to face a ranked Oregon State. It became the start of NW Championship 2 Electric Bugaloo.

Oregon State was favored. This was during the WSU dynasty and the Cuogs were playing USC I believe in a big game for the Pac 10 title. However, Jim Moore was in Corvallis instead because he wanted to see the Huskies clinch the losing season.

Yours truly met up with Kim Grinolds and a couple others at Poulsbo RV, no shit, to ride in a RV to the game in Corvallis. We stopped in Portland to pick up Fetters who had been at a strip club the night before. All of this is true.

We got to Corvallis and parked in a lot by WhiskeyDawg's RV and had a tailgate. Fleenor and his 18 year old girlfriend were there along with Kirk Jones and probably some others. Whiskey Dawg has a hot wife as I recall and was playing Def Leppard songs.

So we tailgate and go to the game where the Huskies win rather easily as the oft injured perma hamstring of one of the Florida guys stopped hurting long enough for him to break Hugh Macklemore's all time single game all purpose yards record.

After the game were lurking outside the locker room and I talked to Jim Moore a bit and gave him shit for wasting his time in Corvallis when the Cuogs were building a dynasty. A dynasty that included three losses to UW of course.

I'm going to be *really* sad when the full blown AIDS finally gets you.

I met WhiskeyDawg in Dallas and can confirm that rumors about his wife ...

And yes, Whiskey definitely is the kind of guy that has Def Leppard dialed in

Okay, okay, two mentions means PICS or GTFO is a moral imperative.

That Florida guy was Charles Fredrick. Funny story, he lived with my friends and we got him to play on our team in a flag football tournament one time. We were disqualified because he took every ball to the house while juking the entire other team and "D1 players aren't allowed." What was funnier though is that everybody was calling him "Isaiah" because he had dreads. Stanback was the original String and in fact we should be calling String "Isaiah."

Story time with Sugar...

Some friends and I (not goofs like fetters and kim...boy those guys sure know how to pick up chicks) were at the same game in our living room. We watched Charlie run all over the record book while doing bumps off hot beavers' buttcheeks. Damn I wish I could have been on that RV with u guys instead. What a depressing weekend Race.

I had a block on his name. I recall that Damone in particular was down on Charles for the injury bug

Race vs puppy story time would be an awesome segment. Just pick any moment in husky history, and let them tell their story of that day from their perspective.

This is why i pay 10.95 gents.

No offense, but I like Grandpa Swaye's story better.

My story had tits, not Fetters tits.

RaccoonHarry · September 2014

Save for the Fetters strip club reference that was a cool story. Still trying to shake that image...

PurpleReign · September 2014

I vote for tits (no moobs please).

Seen many pics of Whiskey's wife on the Pit 2.0. She's a Poulsbo 9.

Fucking genius. Let's get a 1991 Rose Bowl against Michigan or the 2000 Rose Bowl and let them tell the story.

Good idea, but heartbreaking losses would make better stories than legendary victories. Who wouldn't want to hear Puppy's account of the 2002 12 men on the field game at Michigan, or RaceBannon himself share where he was the day ~~DuckFighterIllustrated~~ football was born in 1994?
