    2003 @ Cal ...lost 54-7 while needing a win to secure a bowl.

    Was that the game that ended the Husky win streak against Cal?
    No
    2002 @ Husky Stadium ended the streak (27-34).

    For anyone that wants a trip down plunger lane, start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Washington_Huskies_football_team and work your way up to this season.
    Funny, I did that from 1990 earlier this week with my duck friend. He's only 24 years old so all he knows is the Ducks are good. Doesn't know anything about the pick. But I had to explain why I still think we get plungered by Oregon.

    Not that the game meant anything anyway and I was only in middle school but didn't Air Force plunger us? in the Hawaii (or Oahu) Bowl the year after we plungered Saban's sparty team? Those mid-late 90s teams all kinda bleed together for me.

    Yeah, Aloha Bowl at the end of the 1998 season. Plungering by AFA got Lambo shitcanned.

    Perhaps poetically, Air Force also administered the first beating of the Willingham Era, at Husky Stadium. I recall it being a nice day and the fly-over by the F15s was cool. That was the best thing that could be said of the next 4 years of Husky football.
    I was at the the Clink for that game. After the first quarter my friend leans over to me and says "I feel the losing setting in again. Don't you?" I didn't disagree and eight more losses later we? had successfully lost 19 of our last 22 games. Christ.

    So many fond memories. So hard to choose. At least in the '97 Nebraska game Pathon arrived. I believe it was Christian Peters who pulled the Gaines on Huard...not that I remember that game after 19 years... btw, @CokeGreaterThanPepsi stadium was electric, pre-game was amped. Awesome September day.

    I was at Haas during the 54-7 game. Literally the first game I've ever seen where a team quit on the 2nd play of the game.

    SC 45 UW 0 at halftime in the Colesium in 2008 was special. Randomly crushing beers in the parking lot next to Shane P and Tommy Smith was a highlight.

    Stanford 65 UW 7 was special and a good miss. I had a chance to attend and passed. I was so dooged up I wanted to watch it on TV.

    JJ Stokes murdering UWs secondary was the first heartbreak I remember while living in NorCal.

    So many to choose from

    Jesus. Fuck.

    I had put that shit out of my mind.

    190 yards receiving and 4 TDs for JJ Stokes that day. It sure felt like more.

    The 65-21 game and 41-0 game against Stanford sum up so much of what was wrong with the Sark regime.

    And then the bastard goes and beats possibly the most stacked Stanford Cardinal team in forever. Only other team to beat them was the title game runner ups.

    But seriously the 2001 Miami game and it isn't close. We were one year removed from a semi legitimate argument at a spot in the natty game. Earliest I ever turned a UW game off.
