The Bowl Game that we're playing on Tuesday
My Grandmother went to UW in the 1930s and I believe was still in school for the 1937 game. Being born in Seattle her first RB exposure would have been the 1924 one as a child.
My Grandfather was on the 1937 Pitt team that beat us. @RaceBannon was there and could verify.
They settled in western WA.
1960 was the first UW Rose Bowl of my dad's life and UW's first Rose Bowl win. My Grandpa died later that year.
A UW alum, widowed to a player from a RB team, living in Western WA, the RB meant a ton to my Grandma. The first UW ones of my life were when I was too little to know what was going on, but I watched the 1993 one with my Grandma. That was the last UW RB of her life.
I was lucky enough to be on campus for 2001.
And now my daughter gets to see her first UW RB. She's older than me, my dad and my Grandma were when UW went to the RB for the first time in each of lives. There's a good chance it will be the last one for my dad.
It's tradition and it matters. 18 fucking years is a long time. I can finally educate the next generation in my family.

I only read books from technically gifted writers.

My dad was a manager on the 36 Pacific Coast Champs who lost to Pitt in the Rose Bowl
My parents and older brother and sister went to the 61 Rose Bowl and called me from Disneyland while I stayed with grandma. That lit a burning desire to go to the Rose Bowl and watch the Huskies. I was 4 years old.
I watched the 65 Rose Bowl between my two dads on the coach as Bill Douglass went down with a broken leg and Dick Butkus and Jim Grabowski led the Illni to the win. Then they took our recruits.
The rest of my ill spent youth was spent watching USC or UCLA with a couple of Stanford appearances in the Rose Bowl. Mainly USC who won like 4 national titles. The idea of UW winning anything was so far faded in the background that all I had was the SI with Bob Schorledt on the cover and the program from the 61 RB to show it really had happened.
When James showed up in 75 and beat John McKay in his last year as USC coach hope arrived again. In 1977 I was home for the holidays and watched the Rose Bowl with my mom as we FINALLY won one for the Gipper.
Flew into LAX in 81 with a suitcase full of weed from Hawaii to watch the rematch with Michigan. My first live look. And we lost. Rather easily. Did sell the weed in South Central. Didn't have any issues with the Brothers until I pointed out that UW had beat USC that year and actually did EARN the Rose Bowl. It got quiet and I thought that perhaps I should have just let it ride,
Next year my Mom and I were there to see the DAWGS win over our bitch Iowa. Did it again in 91 again with Iowa. Gave the boss my natty Rose Bowl tix and watch us win it all with the family in Seattle on TV. Went again the next year and we lost to Ty Wheatly. Watched us beat Drew Brees in 2001. I'm 3-2 in person.
Went to the CFP and the Fiesta but there is nothing like a Rose. Nothing. -
I told my family that I am taking over the house on NYD and I'm going to drink and smoke weed and talk shit all fucking day instead of going fishing like I've been doing the last 18 fucking years.
I don't think they're taking me seriously. It's been so long since our last Rose bowl that they don't remember what kind of shit they're going to be dealing with.
I have some halibut, some crab, some smoked salmon, and some ling cod that I'm going to bust out. Just have to figure out what I'm drinking.
The Granddaddy. Can't wait. -

Born in 72 and I don’t remember the first 2 Rose Bowls under James at all. I remember we? beat Iowa 28-0 and asking myself, where the fuck is Iowa and why is everyone so excited we beat the Hawkeyes and why is there a team named after the character on MASH?
Between then and the next time against Iowa, I started falling in love with college football although being the product of a catholic school and their success at the time, I loved Notre Dame along with Washington. By time we? played the Irish in 95, I was constantly asked who I was rooting for. It wasn’t until I walked into the bar and saw the game being played that I left the Irish for good.
I remember watching the 91 RB with my parents not knowing mom would die before the next game. On January 1st, 1992, I was home from basic training and watched the game with my 2 dads, my brothers and a guy named Mike who would died shortly afterwards. Maybe I should only the RB with people I don’t like?
By time the 93 RB rolled around, I was stationed in Korea getting yellow fever and probably a few other diseases. One of my roommates was a Michigan fan and yeah, he fit every Midwest trash stereotype that existed. I didn’t know it’d be another 8 years until we? made it back. I think we all got a little spoiled under the Dawgfather.
I was married and had a 3 year old for the 2000 season. I remember watching and thinking we’re back under Rick. Fast forward to today and I feel confident about our? chances to get a little more often under Peterman.

People forget that the UW posted on the scoreboard (baby!) during the big win against the coogs (after the USC/UCLA gayme ended and UW was going to the Granddaddy,) Bring on the Jayhawks!

Me......The last tim we played t-OSU
Me.......flash forward to 2019, midway through the 3rd quarter, again.
F' me for not learning the first tim. History does repeat itself and I'm one of the retards standing in line for a re-Pete. Jake Browning, if you are reading this, we deserve better than this....we? Really do -
I’ve never seen a UW rose bowl ( I was 2 the last time we were in it) I’m going to the game.
My brother and IGAF, my family not so much they’re east coasters who settled in Seattle. I plan on almost blacking out. If it was a regular season game I would. But it’s the fucking Rose Bowl. Go fucking Dawgs! -

Like the OP, I was 'crooted (lol) to pull an oar for UDub. BUT it was watching the 1992 Rose Bowl that made me want to go to WORSHINGTON!! My love of that season carried me through Lambo, Rick, Gilby, Ty and Sark and now the boys are back in town god damn it.

This thread got me thinking I've seen UW play Ohio State three times and am posting a 1-2 record.
94 W(Kaufman)
95 L (Eddie George in the Shoe)
07 L (Halftime Score: Locker 7, tOSU 3)
This will be my first Rose Bowl. Would love to even the score, but we tend to lose a lot when I'm there.) -
It's sort of a misnomer. In the old system, we would have gone to the Rose Bowl in 2017. Either way, it has been a while...We lost at least six games in 13/14 years. It was awful.

About 3 months after I was born my folks left me with my aunt so they could go watch Warren Moon and the Huskies best Michigan in the 78 Rose Bowl game. Growing up I remember my folks dragging every TV in the house into the living room to watch all the NYD bowl games, with the Granddaddy being the feature. It was a big deal in our home.
I wasn't from a well-ta-do family. Middle class-to-lower middle class I suppose. We didn't do fancy vacations. But dammed if my folks didn't scrape it together to drive me and my brother down for the 92 game. We stopped one night on the way down and slept at a Motel 6. Once in LA we slept on the floor of a cousins house that lived in the area on NYE. For the game we sat in the last row of the endzone. We didn't do Disneyland or any other BS. We went for the Dawgs. Immediately after the game we drove straight back to Seattle basically non-stop. It wasn't flashy but it stands as my most cherished childhood memory.
My folks were not UW grads, or college grads for that matter. They just loved football, loved the Dawgs, and cared deeply about the Rose Bowl, especially when it involved the hometown Huskies.
I am happy to report that I will finally be returning to the Rose Bowl next week with my own family. Granted I had to bribe my wife and daughter with Harry Potter Land, Disney World, and Cal Adventure. It won't be the same as the bare bones football centric time with my folks, but it will definitely be a thrill to return to that venue and that game to watch the Dawgs run onto that beautiful field one more time.
My mom has since passed but I still have the sweatshirt she wore to the 92 game if you can believe it. It will be in the stadium next week.

Due to my peaking juvenile delinquency, I defiantly moved in with my sister in Alaska to finish the 2nd half of my senior year of high school. There, under the terms of a plea deal for 4th degree assault, I assembled roller skates at the Y as a means of community service. I watched the '93 Rose Bowl by myself in my sisters basement.
My parents attended the Rose Bowl while my older brother threw a 2 day NY's/RB bash at my parents house with all of our friends.
My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just before my birthday in March of '93 and died in May.
I had diarrhea yesterday.
Am I using this platform correctly?

4 and a half months after I was born we were rooting together at the RB. 93 had me road tripping with HS buddy, his parents and another buddy due to my set-up for seats. Missed out the years I was at the UDub thanks to fucking UCLA and that bullshit, then was too broke to go in 2001 thanks to my introduction to the real world. I'm not missing this one (knock on wood) and the wife and I have the grandparents watching the kiddos for a mad dash to Pasadena. We won't be sleeping after the game until we board the plane in LAX at 4:15am the following morning. I look forward to the memories of this one and hopefully we come out with the dub to make it that much sweeter.DawgWagonDan said:About 3 months after I was born my folks left me with my aunt so they could go watch Warren Moon and the Huskies best Michigan in the 78 Rose Bowl

What's great about this bored is that while we are mostly depraved lunatics, we are also the BEST kind of Husky fans. This thread proves it. Case closed. End of discussion.
