    I remember watching the '85 Orange Bowl and not knowing what was going on or even understanding football, but my brothers and dad were into it. I believe my oldest brother had transferred from Whitman to UW at that point to get away from Fleenor and Fatters.

    The '86 THE Ohio St gayme really got me though. That was a good 10-3 OSU team with Spielman and Cris Carter too. On paper they probably had equal or even greater talent, and the Dawgs destroyed them in the cold September rain (don't miss that).

    Chris Chandler had a really good debut. I always thought he was underrated and was overshadowed by Billy Joe Camaro, Brunell, Brock Huard, and Tui. He led the fucking FALCONS to a Super Bowl.

    Oregon State game of 2013. Watching Coach Sark lead the boys in one of his famous "blowouts" confirmed that he was the next Don't James

    The apple cup to get to Jacque's rose bowl and then the rose bowl were pretty amazing for a five year old. But it was the bowl game against florida when the dawgs made emmit smith quit that made the huskies my #1 and the seahawks #2

    I was already a 'fan' because we had picked Huskies vs Cougars on the playground in 1st grade. But it was cemented at my first home game in 1986 vs UCLA. I was 8 years old, it was hotter than shit. My parents made hats out of newspaper to block the sun. Rick Fenny, Chris Chandler and Lonzel Hill did the rest.

    1996 Holiday Bowl. Because Corey Dillon is that much of a badass, despite the mediocre coaches, and because it was badass to get beat by a coach and then hire him away. If UW was serious about football they would have offered Chip a million young asian men plus whatever Phil was paying him to turn this shit show around.
