Your favorite Husky Pick 6?

[AtomicDawg]

Russel Hairston vs Miami was cool.

Charles Mincy in the Rose Bowl?

I prefer this one:

It's weird with 2001 Michigan that the blocked FG return TD sticks way more in my memory compared to the pick 6 to take the lead. I think it's largely due to it being such an easy pick 6 - off the WR's hands, right to Lowe and only 20 yards to reach the end zone.

your only quality contribution, ever.

Thanks Taft!

This should be a pole. I have fond memories of the Murphy pick because that game sent us? to the Rose Bowl. When the game ended, I jumped up off the couch and yelled “we’re going to the fucking Rose Bowl!”
I also jumped off the couch screaming “winners fucking win” when Powell returned his pick.

You haven't jumped off a couch since Gil Dobie

I have one of those chair assist things and it was set to James Bond ejector seat power.

wouldn’t it easily be the pick 6 to seal the win vs Michigan in 2001?

Huh? UW went 8-4 in 2001, so not sure what you mean by "easily." It was a great play vs a good opponent, and Lowe almost single handedly won that game, but a mediocre season nonetheless.

Considering what was on the line, this one's a no-brainer. Things were looking bleak: 4th quarter, offense was non-existent, our nemesis was threatening to upset us yet again, and then… Meesh Powell's pick 6 sends Husky Stadium into pandemonium not seen since the 90's, and keeps our NC run alive. Chills.

i mainly remember the Lowe pick 6 as being one of the loudest crowd pods I’ve ever heard on tv

It lost some luster because the team ended up going 8-4 but it was massive at the time and I try to remember and context college football stuff in the moment more than other sports. Top 15 matchup with UW coming off the Rose Bowl. First game against Michigan since the 90s Rose Bowls and first time in Husky Stadium 15+ years. Basically sealed off a win over Michigan, which is always big. Shit just felt bigger back then too. It was wild too because that game felt over right before when Michigan was gonna kick a FG. They were running all over UW and the UW offense couldn't do shit.
Bigger picture it's Powell against ASU. Will be interesting to see how he approaches the program in the future given he dashed to Miami and Crisco for his final year.

think you have to also consider abc national afternoon time slot (the premier time slot of the early 2000s) vs pac12 net or whatever asu was on.

Things felt so much bigger and universal back then too. I feel like in the area there was a lot more awareness for games like that beyond even just dawg fans. I think one thing was there were fewer ways people got media - newspaper, local TV, radio, so you had to absorb stuff more universally. Also less entertainment options and less transplants.
That game is also the massive breakout of Reggie Williams.

I got in late for that game, never before or after and the roar of the crowd was pretty cool and a different experience coming into the lower bowl NE corner.
Only thing I remember from that game was seeing Reggie lose his show while running, unless my memory is off.
So many great memories over the decades in HS and only once for the opening vs Boise. Hopefully my last visit will be a home playoff win in a few years God willing.

Sure beat the 12 men on the field the following year.
