Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Where does this rank for games in Husky Stadium?

My first games were only in the early aughts but it's the best I've attended

For the record, I was watching the Oregon game on TV. But in my lifetime, it rivals these games for excitement at Husky Stadium:
1977 USC 28-10 win (I barely remember it - 6 years old)
1979 USC 24-17 loss
1982 UCLA 10-7 win (Incredibly intense)
1990 USC 31-0 win
1992 Nebraska 29-14 win
2000 Miami 34-29 win
2002 WSU 27-19 win
2009 USC 16-13 win
2016: Stanford 44-6 win
It didn't even rank #1 in the regular season games that year, for me. I'm not even sure it ranked #1 for the home games. Utah had a ton of more fans there and it was just a crazier atmosphere pregame.
Good list. I'd add the last Oregon game and also I believe the 1980 or 81 Fred Small kick recovery USC game. Huge windstorm and paved the way to a Rose Bowl.
Other than your first two, I've been to all of the others listed. I hate money.
It's probably #2 for me, behind Miami in 2000. I assume all I saw was purple was up there.
It was one of the most-painful games on the field, but there was a great feeling when the ball went through the uprights to close out the 2023 Apple Cup to seal 12-0, especially knowing it was the last real one.
That was the best post-game video we made from 2023 based on my memory.
The Duck posters are mostly gone. Stop.
Utah game got real crazy after Tuputala pulled a Leon Lett.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
2023 and 2000 were seasons full of “crazy atmosphere” games. Heart attack city every fucking week.
I'll take more please
How could I have forgotten the '81 USC game? That might be #1 most excited I've seen Husky Stadium
Not quite every week. In 2000 we beat Cuog 51-3
That was a very cathartic plungering.
Good list, I was @ a few of those early 90’s games. Nebraska was indeed a great game, so was Miami. Beating Stanford was also up there. But, I’m not sure what Haie has been smoking, the UW/Oregon game might be the best game in UW lore. That stadium was epic, nobody sat down, screaming, people pissing in the stands. Both teams played A level ball that day, what’s more ESPN had to acknowledge it. The roar heard when he missed was something I’m never gonna forget. I’ve never been on the field til that day, my one and only rush the field event.
Not relevant to my opinion at all. No.
I know you are the king of trolling Ducks here, but if you think beating Utah at home was bigger than that Oregon win I think you're on an island occupied by you and @89ute.
I'm not trolling.
I actually think you have to put the Oregon game ahead of the Miami game because I also like to think of games in this context in vacuums. The hype going into the Miami game was nowhere near 2023 versus Oregon. I'll always remember getting into the stadium 45 minutes early and the concourses being full.
The Utah game was cool to me because it was just a run of the mill conference game but the stakes were big and it felt big. Then the game started and we got shredded by the pig farmer somehow and we failed to just put them away over and over and over again, including a guy dropping the ball at the two yard line.
I wasn't there, but I'd have to include 2016 Stanford. Especially in a vacuum and given how much Stanford had been a power at that time.
Disagree on Miami
Biggest non conference game in history.
2016 Stanford was a coming out party, super fun game which was decided 5min into 3rd Q
2023 Oregon was a suicide roller coaster that never felt won until it was
