This would make a great pole.

Thanks Taft!

If you’re a modern day Washington fan these are the ONLY answers. If you’re a fucking DOOG/Back the PAC dolt go find a bridge somewhere and jump off.

91, followed by 00. The 90's in general were good for the Pac. WSU had some good years, Zona's desert swarm D, SC and UCLA, and Cal was too high regularly

2023. The year we left.

I kinda liked 1977 when we? won the Pac-8 with a 7-4 overall record and beat Meeechigan in the Rose Bowl.
That season seemed to come out of nowhere and Don James started his run as the best coach in football that no one heard of. -
1991. Fuck everyone else.
S-E-C... S-E-C... S-E-C -
Washington being trash or mediocre for so many of the years I was conscious for makes this hard. 2000 is the easy answer to me. Loved that shady Beav team with Denny and what they did to Notre Dame. Was with a big group of family fun LA for the game who hate hate hate the Ducks now and everyone was cheering for them really hard watching that Holiday Bowl. Those wins also helped the Huskies look better at the end of the season.
There never really was a reason to back the Pac though. The conference and teams fucked them in 91. Ducks, Cougars and Beavers HATED UW forever and the Bay Area schools would go in and out of random hatred. No idea what it was, but ASU and UCLA always seemed to make UW their biggest game of the year. -
Besides the seasons already mentioned, 2018/2019 was special for me personally because I got to go to my first Rose Bowl game. It was obviously bittersweet because we? lost, but that was a fun team. Plus it was arguably the golden age of HCH.
And since this question was related to the Pac 4/8/10/12, I think the Pete Carroll/USC years were entertaining, even if I hate the Trojans. But back then I did respect them. -
1984 is the GOAT year in Husky sports.

I was into the Huskies bigly when I was a kid, but the sanctions, some shady players, and getting older and enrolling at a different college and therefore becoming an official jack doog turned me into more of a fan of college football in general than Washington specifically. I'd watch any game that was good.
That was when the Trojans had sucked for some time, so I had no animosity toward them. Then this Pete Carroll guy took over, and something changed. That was the hardest hitting, hardest working, overachieving team I'd seen in a long time relative to the season prior. It was weird and fun watching USC as an underdog, slugging it out with higher ranked opponents. He had those boys playing HARD as fuck. Every game was playoff hockey levels of physical. Became must-watch TV. They lost six games that season by a combined 29 points (highest losing margin was a mere 11), so it was clear even that first year that the rape train was leaving the station, and the conference was on notice: USC had a coach.
Anyway, not my favorite season relative to 1990 or whatever, but I had a lot of fun as just a football fan in general watching Pete Carroll get things rolling down there before getting his guysm in and really putting the poundin' to the roundin'. -
2000 was pretty epic with the 1-1-1 round robin between those teams, all with 1 home 1 away, all close games. Joey 5 picks kinda ruined it for me tho.

I feel like I’m being unnecessarily labeled because of my age. Nonetheless.

Both 90 and 91 rate the highest for me. I wasn't a full fledged UW fan until 90 (yep jumped on the wagon after "all I saw was purple"). UO that year was my first game at husky stadium. I saw the rest that season and all of them in 91. Hard to top the perfect season in 91.
2000 was fun but I didn't go to any games except the Beav, which was great enough to count as several. Still the loss at Oregon was so frustrating it killed a lot of my excitement. A rose bowl matchup that offered nothing in terms of elevating UWs national status wasn't really that memorable of a finish. -

Even though Oregon technically finished third that year, 2000 was a great year for the majority of NW schools. You could have shuffled UW, OSU, UO into a hat and drew a team, and it wouldn't have mattered. All three teams were that close to each other in talent.
The gap between those three and everybody else in the conference that year was mind blowing -

That Rose Bowl is the first game that I can remember watching on TV as a young LG.TheHB said:I kinda liked 1977 when we? won the Pac-8 with a 7-4 overall record and beat Meeechigan in the Rose Bowl.
1991 is the correct answer.

2016 I don't know if it's up there with the best but it should be mentioned as just the last season that the Pac was actually worth a shit with one team making the playoffs (without any controversy at all) and another team winning a rose bowl against a good team, and a 2-3 other 10 win teams.

No. I'm just always amazed at how many old ass, young boomers we have in our community.TheHB said:

Overall I generally liked watching the Pete USC teams. They were legitimately impressive (not running some scheme or shit) and dominated out of conference. That game against Cal and Rodgers was an all timer. Washington was just ass.haie said:2016 I don't know if it's up there with the best but it should be mentioned as just the last season that the Pac was actually worth a shit with one team making the playoffs (without any controversy at all) and another team winning a rose bowl against a good team, and a 2-3 other 10 win teams.
Thought about 2016. UW to the CFP (last Pac-12 team). All time Rose Bowl fun to watch with Pac-12 winning. Complete implosion by Oregon. It's just getting beaten down by USC in Seattle stings. I liked watching Darnold other than against UW. It's too bad McCaffrey was banged up most of the year.
2018 is interesting. I liked Minshew but stealing the conference from the Coug at the end was fun. The conference sucked. USC imploded. Loses points for Oregon looking like they somehow wouldn't be terrible under Crisco. -

The shitty part about that USC game was it felt close or that UW was going to come back after Rapp intercepted it. Then we settle for a limp dick field goal and get it blocked. UW played one of their two worst games of the year on defense but this time they didn't have the luxury of doing it against Arizona.WoolleyDoog said:

2008. When my soul died I became free.

1991 - my mom sold her couch in August and I went to stay with family in New Jersey for a couple weeks before going off to basic training.
I think I saw 2 games all year, Nebraska and the Rose Bowl and then got updates on Sundays either from talking to my brother or the sports page. The Rose Bowl was memorable with both my brothers, my dad and a friend who sold his couch in a car accident a few months later.
I thought UW was gonna be a college football dynasty after that season. -
that miami win, probably single greatest win of UW history. That Miami team was fucking loaded. Oklahoma u welcome bitches

1994 and 2000 Miami wins were fantastic. Without those, our non-conference wins have rather sucked since 1991. Thanks Miami!FireCohen said:that miami win, probably single greatest win of UW history. That Miami team was fucking loaded. Oklahoma u welcome bitches
