Where does this rank for games in Husky Stadium?

2016 Stanford was a coming out party, super fun game which was decided 5min into 3rd Q
2023 Oregon was a suicide roller coaster that never felt won until it was
 
I wasn't there, but I'd have to include 2016 Stanford. Especially in a vacuum and given how much Stanford had been a power at that time.
2016 Stanford when they were still seen as the premier program, at the very least the atmosphere was on another level from the 23 Oregon game. It's not even a question.
Michigan this year had a better buildup and atmosphere to that game.

Disagree on Miami
Biggest non conference game in history.
91 at Nebraska was the programs most important non conference win.
Took my father to his last game in 92, Nebraska for the first night game in HS history. Beating Miami at home was probably the loudest I remember at Husky Stadium. Although I have only been home to watch our dawgs for game 1 of the remodel I’m skeptical HS will ever roar like it did between 90-92.

No question it was the biggest win but we're talking more game environment and at the time it wasn't as hyped as it seems in retrospect. Washington was seen as a borderline Top 15 team and Miami was number four, but it didn't seem the had The U mystique quite back yet. Obviously everything came together and the win in retrospects just gigantic. Miami wouldn't lose another game until the 2002 national championship (which was controversial) and wouldn't lose a regular season game until mid-2003.
It came up not long ago, but 2001 Michigan was a great game/atmosphere in a vacuum before both teams went 8-4 that year or whatever they did.
2000 Miami was certainly way more enjoyable than 2023 Oregon.
 
It's not an all-timer but 2022 Michigan State is underrated even knowing that Michigan State ended up going 5-7 that year. I think it was easily the best game of that time frame and one of the better on a weak day so eyes were on Husky Stadium nationally. MSU was #11 and we mopped the field with them. More importantly, Penix flashed huge and Husky nation rejoiced watching a functioning offense after two years of being in Guantanamo with Lake and Donovan and even before that Peterseman after 2016.
I'll always remember that Penix TD zipping right past our section to Taulapapa. Still probably the best laser I've ever seen in-person from a QB.
 
Were you guys at the game? It was every single thing that is insufferable about having to play Oregon wrapped into one 3-4 hour session.
Impossible to go to Oregon 2022 game and think anything positive about the 2023 game other than at least we weren't playing from behind afterwards for the CFP.

Hey, but that doesn't include getting to see a troll in a Conerly jersey have a breakdown after the game and go unresponsive in his seat or walking by said Conerly and Limar families by the tunnel after the game. That jersey will be speshul and worth a lot when he goes in the second round next month.

I would have loved a second round talent on last years UW offensive line. Just sayin.

Should have taken the bag and transferred after 2022, but I'm not the one who has to live with that, pal.
 
Local croots who spurned Lake get a slight pass in my book. But yeah…fuck that guy.
This is one reason I don't hate on JTT and Emeka as much, especially since they left the region. Same with people who turned down Willingham. DeBoer was the coach by the time Conerly signed though and Lanning was at Oregon. From the TBS news it seemed like he wanted to go to Michigan anyway but the dad turned it into a bag thing between USC and pukes in Eugene.
Unless someone really values a regular season Big 10 title and going 1-3 against Washington, this is one that can be shown why you go to Washington and not Oregon almost across the board.
 
For the record, I was watching the Oregon game on TV. But in my lifetime, it rivals these games for excitement at Husky Stadium:
1977 USC 28-10 win (I barely remember it - 6 years old)
1979 USC 24-17 loss
1982 UCLA 10-7 win (Incredibly intense)
1990 USC 31-0 win
1992 Nebraska 29-14 win
2000 Miami 34-29 win
2002 WSU 27-19 win
2009 USC 16-13 win
2016: Stanford 44-6 win
Good list, I was @ a few of those early 90’s games. Nebraska was indeed a great game, so was Miami. Beating Stanford was also up there. But, I’m not sure what Haie has been smoking, the UW/Oregon game might be the best game in UW lore. That stadium was epic, nobody sat down, screaming, people pissing in the stands. Both teams played A level ball that day, what’s more ESPN had to acknowledge it. The roar heard when he missed was something I’m never gonna forget. I’ve never been on the field til that day, my one and only rush the field event.
Spot on with roar of crowd when Oregon kicker missed it in 23. 1st heard student section go bananas, and then you could literally feel a wave of jubilant noise go from enclosed end to lake.
