This is HUSKY Football

I was there and it was fucking loud.
The energy from the crowd was unlike anything else. There was just this buzz from the crowd, leading up to kickoff, and it picked up after that and never let up.

The 85 Oklahoma State game was at night or late afternoon since it was early September. TBS I think
This Nebraska game was lit though

When I was in high school my dad found a bunch of VHS tapes of old Husky games he taped. This one was the most electric to watch, even over the 92 Rose Bowl and All I Saw Was Purple games. You could just feel the energy on the screen.
I remember the 1985 game being mentioned as a night game, but like you mentioned, it was a late afternoon kickoff. I wasn't there. I just know as part of Googling my way to Husky football.

That was a 5pm kickoff in early September. It felt exotic at the time though
That was born in '91
It was like a four hour party
The only times I can really recall seeing "Husky Football" at Husky Stadium in the past 20 years were 2016 Stanford and maybe the field go to go ahead against USC in 2009.
I’ve posted this many times before, but even as a Husky fan, the Kralik TD is so fucking irritating.
Not me
Loved it
In Sam Farmer's book Bitter Roses, he wrote about how the Compton Quake originated with Jaime Fields in 1991. During the Rose Bowl broadcast, you can see a player (I think it was Fields) come off the field after a big play, and Emtman runs out and starts doing the Compton Quake before they hugged.
and perhaps James Johnson's TD reception to start the 2009 LSU game.

Never to be experienced again. Seahawks are winning the fan recruitment and will continue to do soI unless there is a cosmic shift of both teams play. Not to mention the waning interest in college ball and that this next generation of Husky fans cheer with apathy while those old teams were wildly celebrated. 2016 vs Stanford will be the gold standard going forward.

1992 Husky team was damn good and knew it. It took a 60+ yard FG for Oregon to get on the scoreboard. Final: Washington, 24-3 at Autzen Stadium.
Walked off the field. No celebrating. Another day at the office.
The Apple Cup: An entirely different story in the Snow Bowl in Pullman. A long drive home for the Husky faithful.

Maybe. But I’m sensing a change in the hold the Seahawks have over Seattle sports fans. The golden days are gone. The team is slip-sliding into mediocrity and the fans are noticing. The noise level at Seahawks games isn’t close to what it was six or seven years ago.
Not saying this is good for UW because, with the current leadership, they’ll continue to fuck things up. But if UW were as interested in winning as Utah or Oregon, things could be a lot different locally in the next few years.
Opportunity will knock. Unfortunately, Karen Ramming is the only one home.
