Which Husky game made you a fan for life?

[CirrhosisDawg]

UW fan for life? Nov. 17, 1973. My seventh birthday and first time in Husky Stadium. Huskies lose to USC 42-19. Blanchet alum Chris Rowland leads the out-classed Huskies against the juggernaut John McKay Trojans with Lynn Swann, Anthony Davis and Pat Haden. It was the last gasp of the Owens era. It was a crisp fall afteroon with my Dad (only one -- it was the old days) and brother. Over in Wallingford, the Blanchet Braves were building a state championship team with Joe Steele, Trip Rumberger and Ken Gardner. At Kent State, a youthful Don James was honing his craft for things to come. Great times were just around the corner. The Blanchet run is long over and I can only hope for the long-awaited UW recovery, but looking back, that day, foreshadowed my UW Husky fanaticism. Oh, I did graduate from UW (Hi Harv!)

so wait... winning doesn't matter?

I'm confused.

I need to be dooglightened I guess

It matters but don't lie bro. In 1992 all of you Ducks would kill for this little 2007-2014 stretch. Hell in 2005 you would have too.

Fuck yeah. So would you. Oregon's the winningest team in CFB since like 2009 or some shit like that. The only thing Oregon hasn't won is the natty, which is why you fucks moved the goalpoasts to "win a natty and pop off" from "win a Rose Bowl and pop off."

I don't really give a fuck, I'll pop off when I feel like it. I want a natty as much as the next guy, but a few Pac-12 championships, a Heisman trophy and two Rose Bowl trophies keep me feeling pretty good for the time being.

Enjoy it while you can.

Story time from a fren...let's call him Jimmy in my 3rd person voice. Jimmy, not to be confused with little Jimmy, went to his first game in the 70s sitting near the tunnel but listened to the great RB wins in the late 70s on the radio returning home with the family from Sun Valley in the car during James early years.

But my "fren" became a die hard daWg fan (for you @AZDuck) for life watching the epic 85 Orange Bowl.

The Duck fans posting in this thread are doing a great job of re-enforcing stereotypes about Duck fans.

Huh?

Seems pretty simple. Even someone with a U0 degree should be able to understand.

 

[EwaDawg]

college football is important. winning in November is important. If you disagree then fuck you

Winning in November is not more important than winning in October.

Winning in December and January are both more important than winning in November.

I'll give you that winning in November is more important than winning in August/September (non conf).

I am pretty sure half these duck fans don't even pay attention to NCAA football.

This would explain why multiple dicks need to interrupt a Husky thread on a Husky board.

Sound like something right out of Doogman....

Totally bro! Oregon hasn't done anything to their program's infrastructure to be successful long term. Nope, nothing.

Get the fuck out of here. Oregon has everything. They aren't going anywhere for a very very long time. They might have a lull here and there like everyone does, but everyone is in full go for athletics.

I am 32 years old and I don't have a recollection of UW ever being very good. There was 2000, but I watched the Ducks beat the Huskies that year at Autzen. Same as it ever was.

I was at "The Pick." It was cool, but I was still really young and didn't realize how important that Rose Bowl trip was.

What did it for me was Husky Stadium in 1997. What a bunch of smug asshole fans UW had back in those days. It was three 14 year old kids and one of our mom's. The shit that grown ass men said to us was ridiculous. Now having spent a lot of time on message boards with the people who would have made up that caring fan base in those days I totally get it.

Anyway, UW had those $75k purple helmets and yellow pants. So, so many empty seats. Just a complete shit show in contrast to the mighty Husky football program we were all supposed to witness. Akili floats that pass up, Pat catches it, and what little pride Husky fans had left was gone. UW has maybe beaten Oregon three times since then.

That is what did it for me. UW turned into absolute shit and still completely is while Oregon is one of the elite programs in the country. Sure, Don James quitting started the bleeding but to actually be there when Husky football died was something truly special.

I went back in 2007 and most Husky fans wouldn't even look me in the eye. Many were complimentary of Oregon. Empathy and battered wife syndrome had set in. Fast forward to last season with UW's new "gem" of a coach with his All-American littered defense that would turn the tide. Oregon has to start coasting early in the 3rd quarter as their 19 year old running back was starting to run up the score on his own. Same as it ever was.

Short version:

I'm a fucking cunt who's entire life revolves around a runner up team of 20 year olds.

Says the guy on an internet message board that revolves around a group or 20 year olds that would suck a mile of dick to be relevant by November.

You're in over your head.

Tell me more

Who gets to pose with half a ring?

Certainly no one from 0regon.

Obsession.

The fact you are on a Huskieie bored stomping your feet, clamoring for attention only helps to cement your status as little brother. REAL winners don't give a fuck, Quook.

Hope this helps.
