I’m 12 years old, live in Portland, and have never been a Husky fan.

I’m 47. I’ve been a Husky fan as long as I can remember, with Robin Earl being the first name that rings a bell. I joined the USAF in 1980, spent about 10 yrs. in before becoming a field engineer. I’ve followed the Huskies via various means from Germany, Florida, Panama California, Texas, Arizona, Korea, Cyprus, Qatar and most recently back to Korea again. The internet’s been a godsend to this Husky fan.

I work with the Synthetic Aperture Radar that’s installed on the U-2, both on the jet and with the ground processing equipment/software.

My family aren’t big Husky fans except when I’m around. I grew up in SW Washington back in the days when people had TV antenna rotors and the Portland channels sometimes came in clearer. I’ve only been to Husky Stadium twice(shame on me), usually managing to pick up a game when I’m in town to use my Seahawks’ tickets.

The stadium does need a lot of work. My biggest complaint was the narrow steps. I saw two people slip and fall due to them.

I’m optimistic about the new coach, but I was optimistic before and burned, so I’m just waiting and seeing, although I like what I see so far.

My next step in Husky fandom is buying a slingbox. The dawgman chat room is nice and all, but it kind of sucks seeing the results before you hear or read about them. I’m not sure what kind of latency a slingbox has, but it has to be better than what I’m using now.

I’m 50 years old and have been a Husky fan all my life. Well not really, I mean I grew up in Lakewood WA and the Huskies were THE college team, period. I don’t think it was until I was in jr. high that I realized that there were other colleges in Washington. I remember my buddy had an older brother who went to wazzu and we’d just kind of laugh about it. I think my buddy was in the same boat as I was “wsu, where is that?” and “that’s interesting but it ain’t Washington!” It’s kind of funny but the first Husky game I think I ever watched on TV was a dandy, “The 1978 Rosebowl”, I actually woke up from my new years eve celebration, turned on the TV and watched the entire game! I remember how well the Huskies played and put it to the Wolverines, that was special!

The thing is I used to watch Don James Sunday coaches show all the time but I guess I was too busy hanging with my buddies on Saturday to watch Husky football. My father was born and raised in Seattle. He was an avid Husky fan but to this day I don’t know if he ever actually attended a game. My gut tells me he did though no ones ever been able to confirm that for me. It’s funny but my oldest sister got me actually going to live Husky games. My first was in 1989 against ASU a loss but I was hooked. I had never been in a stadium so huge with so many people attending. My timing was perfect and the next three seasons were Rosebowls! I attended two of those including the 1992 NC win against Michigan. WOW! what a ride I will never forget that! I’ve had season tickets since 92 and have been a Tyee for most of those years. I remember after all the controversy about who was better Miami or UW I talked to my brother in law and we planned to go to the game in 94. My brother in law wussed out and I took my wife. What a game! Another fantastic memory, you had to have been there but the 3000 Husky fans there sounded like 20000 and I kid you not! I sat about 4 rows behind Don James. It was wild!

I’m a professional firefighter by trade and have been for almost 29 years. I live in Richland WA.

I have recently turned 50 and have been a Husky fan since birth which would be 1958. My earliest recollection would be my father leaving in late December 1959 with his buddies to head to Pasadena on a train to watch the the 1960 Rose Bowl. I don’t know how it can get better than that.

I’m 23 and have been a Husky fan as long as I can recall. My earliest memory is when I was 6 years old, watching BJH, Huard and the 91’ tear everyone apart on my Dad’s lap. That is the time when I fell in love with college sports (since all of the Seattle pro teams were in disarray to say the least). To this day, there are still only two things I geek out about, and the big one is college football (I’m also a big Mixed Martial Arts fan).

I was born in Edmonds, WA and raised in Lynnwood, Wa where I still reside today with my wife. I’m a Consulting Engineer for a firm out of Seattle where I dominate the weekly pickem’ pool that floats around the office.

I am 59, I have seen all Rose Bowls since the the JO era and been to all of them except for two. The Best games were the 44-8 whipping of Wisconsin and the National Championship game against Michigan. I am fortunate to have great seats at Husky stadium. Husky football is a weekend event. I go on two road trips a year and it is a blast. I am avid supporter of Husky Athletics. GO DAWGS !!!

67, born in Forks, live outside of Tenino. I stole my handle from the old T9O Ranch, which is now home to the largest alpaca herd in the world,

I’ve been a Husky fan since Mc Elhenny and Heinrich and a season ticket holder/Tyee since 1991. I’ve been to two Rose Bowls (both wins, 1992 ans 2001). We sit on the southside, east 45 yard line, fairly high up. We went to Grand Canyon and Tucson last season and plan on Tempe this upcoming season. I didn’t make that many road games while I was working as I usually had a job that included working Sundays. The only away games I’ve been to were all losses except for the Rose Bowls starting with the 1998 Nebraska game. One exception, the 1960 Cal game while I was stationed on Treasure Island, San Francisco going to a Navy electronics tech school.

I finally met John B last December in Hawaii after chatting with him on Dawgman since the late 90’s when he was known as ChicagoDawg.

Glad to see some of you “Old guys” are here! Older than me by the way! ;O)

Wow, I’m surprised by the amount of highly “experienced” fans we have here. No wonder we all are so passionate about our Dawgs.

It doesn’t surprise me that everybody is life long Husky fans, you have to be a diehard fan to still be a Husky faithful after the last 4 years. Hopefully we won’t see any more comments like “a true Husky fan would . . .”, I think its safe to say everybody listed above is a true/diehard Husky fan.

GO DAWGS!!!!

Born and raised in the pacific NW. Next b-day will be #36. UW grad in ’95 with a business degree focused on economics and analytics. Moved to SF for 7 glorious years … happened to be at the Stanford game with a bunch of my NoCal friends the day CW was injured. Truly tragic. I did a tour through Europe, went back to school for an advanced degree and ended up in Minneapolis now working in the healthcare field. Almost everyone here is either an engineer, doctor or snow plow operator.

Used to go by the moniker of Minny C (the C is for Chris) until John banned that alter ego (for reasons yet to be explained). I think I get under JB’s skin a little, but I’m a nice guy – tend to see things as never too bad and never too good. I’ve been cited for my tendency to be contrarian … but that is actually just me being my middle of the road self. I’m sarcastic but try to never flame or get personal. I’ve got two daughters who hardly ever get to see their aunts and uncles (most of whom are still in Seattle). But they are Husky fans through and through.

I’ve got a bunch of friends who peruse this site but never post. Shout out to you, gents.
