I was 16 when we won the Rose Bowl, and before that we were good enough for me to get hooked.

I'm old enough to ask, 'what the fuck do you mean, when we won the Rose Bowl?'

We've won the Rose Bowl 5 times in my life.
We've won it 3 times that I remember, 4 times in my lifetime.

For me,

'78, '81, '91, '92, '01. We've been 7 times ('81 and '93 being the losses).
 
I was 12 when we won the Rose Bowl. Peak of Husky football in my lifetime. FMFYFE.

me too, i also grew up in the Portland media market and I think the duck rise galvanized my UW identity. also the WSU Vancouver campus helped me think I was better than everyone I lived around.

Vancouver is so fucked
 
My mother placed me in a dumpster outside of husky stadium the fall of 87. One of my dad's was a drunk UW med student and found me wailing in tune to the siren and decided to take me home to dad #2 as a graduation gift.

I was told Husky football saved my life, but now I wish I was left in the trash.

This is the best post of your life. I laffed like an idiot hyena. You have nowhere to go from here but down.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again... anyone who is a HHB and under 35 is a goddamned saint.

Mazel Tov to all of you out there.

Why the fuck do you like Husky football, tho?

I'm 34, turned 11 just before the Dawgs completed their anti owen12, went to a few of the games that year (and 90) and I was absolutely hooked.

Honestly, UW football was good to very good with spikes of great basically my whole life until I was 22, why wouldn't I have gotten into it?

I think your cutoff point is way too high. I'd say anyone under 25 for sure. Maybe 28.

Fair enough. Under 30. It means half their life they've seen dog shit.

Here's a queery for the bored: what's been our best season since 2001?

Fuck.

I'm going with '08. At least I laughed at Fouch a lot and knew Ty would be fired.

That would make a great poast, Dennis. You should start a new thread:

I ask myself that all the time. I contemplate giving it up every year, but I probably never will. I like Husky Football because some of my earliest childhood memories where when UW was at their peak. I have a picture of me at a game from the '91 season. I was four. It was something I bonded with my two dads over and it's stuck ever since. I would read the media guides and memorize the whole team. It has played a role in my miserable and pathetic life ever since. Other hobbies have come and gone, but Husky Football stuck.

My experience verbatim.

My folks brought me home from the hospital the day of the '78 rosebowl. Therefore, this list is accurate for me too.

I was born and raised in Vancouver too. This post couldn't be more true.

The one thing I would add is wondering as a kid, "why don't the people on teevee ever talk about vancouver/washington?". I got a case of the civic pride (not the 75k kind) very early in life.
 
Any teens? (Insert creeper joke). Seriously, I ran across a few idiot teenagers on other boreds. One pretended to be a dr., another was a Coug fan who posted his pretend AAU scores.

Seriously though any teens? Asking for a friend.

Funny reading about the 1991 babies. I was four in 1960 when the Huskies won their first national championship. (fuck off)

My folks went to the Rose Bowl and left me home. I watched the 1964 Rose Bowl loss on the couch between my two dads. Then we sucked for 12 years.

That's why the recently retired Don James means so much to our generation
