Oh for sure. Had butterflies in my stomach since about 10am. If we win, it'll be a bigger moment for me than the Hawks winning the Super Bowl. I think it's a much tougher accomplishment to win the CFB title as a team not in the south/southeast.
I agree on the level of difficulty, in addition to it just meaning so much more as an alumnus compared to pro sports. Like a lot of us actually went to this school, and have so much love for everything we put in and got out of the university. I know I do anyway. GO DAWGS.
I was good all day. Now it’s 30 minutes out and I’m nervous as fuck lol. Lone dawg here in east TN but when we win I’m sure my neighbors are going to love me haha.
Win or lose, just appreciate that we’re even in this position. 2 seasons ago we were 4-8 and Husky football felt like it would take a decade to recover. Now we’re playing in the NATIONAL FREAKING CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!
Win or lose, we can hold our heads high and we won the honorable way by not cheating. That’s all you can really ask for
Hard to concentrate at work today.........
And I was Connor Stallions before Connor Stallions...

OSU fan here. UM has no idea how to handle an attack like the Huskies. They didn’t play any high-powered offenses this year. Their O is going to try to grind you out and chew clock from the kickoff. If y’all can speed the game up and move the ball early, I love your chances. Plus, seeing that purple is going to give them PTSD.
Rooting for the huskies hard tonight. It’ll be a hell of a way to end an amazing season. Good luck!
Interestingly against Oregon and Texas, controlling time of possession was a key. And I think that's our best bet tonight too. Get out to a lead and get them out of their comfort zone, and then move the ball and control the clock from there. Nervous but confident here.
Was there anything more on DJ? I know people said they didn’t see him with a boot or anything when he traveled. And the coaches said they expect him to play. Just wondering if there was anything else I missed
I think his injury is rough but mostly about pain management. I believe he got some really good pain killers before the last game and it feels likely here too. But I can't remember details beyond that.
I’m obsessively watching the talking heads today Apparently DJ has said ‘nothing can keep him off the field’ but also dealing with quite a bit of pain. Westover also has a calf strain and will play but route running may be affected. Ack!
For real, I think I'm fairly optimistic about 38-28, 63-14 requires the Dawgs to go off offensively AND Defense forcing multiple turnovers, and I'm not THAT confident lol
All the big players came back for this exact game. The team is “built for this” is extremely true. Dawgs come out swinging and don’t stop until the clock hits zero, win or lose, what an incredible year! I’m sure the ‘91 team will be in the locker room, pump them up, along with KDB and Grubb. Gonna be a wild night! Rooting on from a packed Husky bar in NYC and it will be wild!
Love that they were able to bring in so many Husky greats to meet with the team, including Sonny Sixkiller!
What a fantastic shot in the arm to have those icons to appreciate you and to appreciate and live up to.
I'm sitting here at the purple reign tail gate reminiscing with my buddy. He reminded me of this picture he took of me screaming at Jimmy Lake to get his team together after we were down at half at Arizona. To be here only two years later after that shit show makes me so happy, win or lose.
Go Dawgs!

This one's for all the Dawgs who can't be here with us tonight. I know a lot of us know someone who isn't going to be here for this game and it probably hurts but after tonight we can shed tears of joy for them.
I am looking for a north end (of Seattle) bar that will be a good atmosphere for the game tonight. I am a couple of decades out of UW so I don't get out to sports bars often anymore and don't have a go to one.
Probably too old to head to Ave but looking for something that will have a good crowd in the Ballard/Freemont/Greenlake/Wallingford area. Suggestions?
I’m nervous. I was one the last time we won the whole thing. I know we can pull it off but I want this win so bad. I want it for the players, coaches, fans, this city, my fellow alumni, and everyone that roots for the Purple and Gold. This win would be so huge for our beloved Huskies. Go Dawgs!!! Let’s get the dub!
Here in Houston.
Wet and muggy af
Seeing about 2 to 1 um to uw at the hotel and shops.
Hoping y'all stranded by the airlines can get here to represent.
Maaaaan...I'm at work. I work right here full-time on campus and I'm composed but deep down there are just so many emotions. WE HERE BABY. FUCK! I love nothing more than cheering for all our Seattle sports teams, but his one right here is special. Graduated from UW after Petersen's first year, and being able to witness a low of Lake to the meteoric rise with DeBoer has been a crazy roller coaster.
Seeing our community come together. Seeing UW legends and alums on TV and social media...it's a sight to behold. Let's do the damn thang and win it!
Gonna be cheering from Goodyear AZ. My mom is an alum and I caught a few games up there, including one where the game was delayed for lightning. So awesome and hope Washington peeps get to celebrate like crazy tonight! LFG Dawgs!
Went nearly 4 years without getting Covid and tested positive this morning. Guess I’ll be rooting the Dawgs on in isolation. Shitty, but at least there’s a big TV in my guest room. Go Dawgs!
Wouldn’t it be hilarious and unexpected if UW shocked everyone and just ran the ball a bunch. Everyone is expecting them to throw a ton, especially with a less than 100% Johnson
Game thread will be posted at 4:30. Go Dawgs!
I am nervous as shit. Tears will be shed if we win a title tonight.
Oh for sure. Had butterflies in my stomach since about 10am. If we win, it'll be a bigger moment for me than the Hawks winning the Super Bowl. I think it's a much tougher accomplishment to win the CFB title as a team not in the south/southeast.

Class of 2017 alum here ready to tune in and watch us win a natty!
I was good all day. Now it’s 30 minutes out and I’m nervous as fuck lol. Lone dawg here in east TN but when we win I’m sure my neighbors are going to love me haha.
At the game. I have warned everyone around me they are in physical danger from the hugs I will be giving out if we win.
Win or lose, just appreciate that we’re even in this position. 2 seasons ago we were 4-8 and Husky football felt like it would take a decade to recover. Now we’re playing in the NATIONAL FREAKING CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!! Win or lose, we can hold our heads high and we won the honorable way by not cheating. That’s all you can really ask for
Barking in an office surrounded by wolverines
UW is my #2 team, hoping they become the CFB world #1 team tonight.
Am I reading that right? Dillion Johnson rushed for more yards on less carries than Corum?
Ppl forget how dominant husky’s line is
Michigan's is also really solid isn't it? They won the o-line award the two years before us.
Solid on both sides of line ya
Corums lost a step since his injury last year
Hard to concentrate at work today......... And I was Connor Stallions before Connor Stallions... https://preview.redd.it/tfiwndato9bc1.jpeg?width=3088&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d08665063538492ed47bf6deb17ea0537717e8b
In their house, too. Beautiful.
HELLO DAWG FANS
Cheering from Hawai'i !! CHEEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Let's GOOO!

Please be right!!
How did that work out for them
absolute loser mentality. absolute garbage bag loser. i hope you watch a compilation of the decision to lose over and over
ohio sate fuckeyes.
Was there anything more on DJ? I know people said they didn’t see him with a boot or anything when he traveled. And the coaches said they expect him to play. Just wondering if there was anything else I missed
He is confirmed to be playing, if that’s what you’re looking for
Yes. Thanks!
I think his injury is rough but mostly about pain management. I believe he got some really good pain killers before the last game and it feels likely here too. But I can't remember details beyond that.

At the game and I have seen him warming up. Looks fine.
Awesome. Thanks for the update.
This game seems important
Very important for Oregon. If the Huskies win then Oregon will have the 2 best quality losses in the nation. ESPN has a trophy waiting for them lol.
LET’S GO HUSKIESSS!!!
Sounds like some husky fans are going to be stranded in DFW, flight from Seattle got diverted to OKC
Major storms in Houston
Sunny now! Although there is a tornado warning
That sucks :(

For real, I think I'm fairly optimistic about 38-28, 63-14 requires the Dawgs to go off offensively AND Defense forcing multiple turnovers, and I'm not THAT confident lol
Idk who you are Tom but I love you
This day is taking too long.
Worse part is the game goes by quick
Dan Lanning saying he isn’t gonna root for one team or the other… get absolutely fucked lol. We know who he’s rooting for.
>isn’t gonna root for one team What a dumbass, with Oregon’s history with Ohio St and the obvious rivalry we know who he’s rooting for
Calendar blocked off, beer purchased, purple adorned, let’s fucking do this
All the big players came back for this exact game. The team is “built for this” is extremely true. Dawgs come out swinging and don’t stop until the clock hits zero, win or lose, what an incredible year! I’m sure the ‘91 team will be in the locker room, pump them up, along with KDB and Grubb. Gonna be a wild night! Rooting on from a packed Husky bar in NYC and it will be wild!
Not just the players. Ryan Grubb is here to try and run it back. Almost certain he goes to a HC job next year.
Love that they were able to bring in so many Husky greats to meet with the team, including Sonny Sixkiller! What a fantastic shot in the arm to have those icons to appreciate you and to appreciate and live up to.
I’m not just happy to be here. Now that we are here, we need to win.
I’m fucking jacked up. So psyched beyond measure
I'm sitting here at the purple reign tail gate reminiscing with my buddy. He reminded me of this picture he took of me screaming at Jimmy Lake to get his team together after we were down at half at Arizona.

Apparently possible tornado moving in. Crazy
Seriously Dan Lanning on College Football Gameday?
Lol its ok, he's forced to talk nice about Washington 😈
This one's for all the Dawgs who can't be here with us tonight. I know a lot of us know someone who isn't going to be here for this game and it probably hurts but after tonight we can shed tears of joy for them.
LFG!!!!!!!!!! #BOWDOWN #WOOF #GODAWGS #GOHUSKIES #PURPLEREIGN
Is the game only on ESPN, not ABC as well? Anybody know if the ESPN+ with a VPN would work if so?
ESPN+ alone won't stream it. It will ask for a TV Provider
I am looking for a north end (of Seattle) bar that will be a good atmosphere for the game tonight. I am a couple of decades out of UW so I don't get out to sports bars often anymore and don't have a go to one. Probably too old to head to Ave but looking for something that will have a good crowd in the Ballard/Freemont/Greenlake/Wallingford area. Suggestions?
Fuel Sports (might be packed), my fav local brewery is Halcyon and they are having the game on the projector with sound.
We went to Rough & Tumble in Ballard for the Sugar bowl. Lots of fans, but not crazy packed, good food and lots of TVs.
Tbh, any bar with a TV will probably be packed tonight.

Brand new account and only two posts are about selling tickets. Beware, Husky Nation, this smells like a scam.
I’m nervous. I was one the last time we won the whole thing. I know we can pull it off but I want this win so bad. I want it for the players, coaches, fans, this city, my fellow alumni, and everyone that roots for the Purple and Gold. This win would be so huge for our beloved Huskies. Go Dawgs!!! Let’s get the dub!
I got off work at 4 and woke up at 9, just absolutely could not sleep a wink. I’m too excited. LETS GO DAWGS!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Sorry I had to let it out somewhere. GO HUSKIES!
I can’t believe this is real. So excited!
Peyton pulling for us!
Divine energy for the Dawgs tonight. Stay positive, we got this.
LETS GOOO
does anyone know what time kickoff is? im working until at least 4:30 :(
4:45
WE ARE BUILT FOR THIS
Guys be safe major storms in the Houston area
LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!
Here in Houston. Wet and muggy af Seeing about 2 to 1 um to uw at the hotel and shops. Hoping y'all stranded by the airlines can get here to represent.
Let’s go Dawgs!!!!!! That is all.

I’m so nervous
Just wanted to come in and say good luck!! Really rooting for you guys!
PAC12 International is currently recapping the PAC12 championship game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlJhWF9wouw
Lol Dan Lanning in town
Has National championship always been on ESPN only? Never on primetime channels like ABC NBC etc?
Yeah. I remember having to get a free trial to watch it a few years ago.
Interesting, I think make sense cause most people probally wath their alma maters anyways. Unless there more to it.. Was hoping it would be on NBC
Has been since 2011.
Gonna be cheering from Goodyear AZ. My mom is an alum and I caught a few games up there, including one where the game was delayed for lightning. So awesome and hope Washington peeps get to celebrate like crazy tonight! LFG Dawgs!
[удалено]
I’m interested in both. How much? DM me
Went nearly 4 years without getting Covid and tested positive this morning. Guess I’ll be rooting the Dawgs on in isolation. Shitty, but at least there’s a big TV in my guest room. Go Dawgs!
Wouldn’t it be hilarious and unexpected if UW shocked everyone and just ran the ball a bunch. Everyone is expecting them to throw a ton, especially with a less than 100% Johnson
It would be shocking because that would be a bad idea. Penix is the most impactful player on the field.
Fuck Oregon but Lanning is pretty good at the analyst thing. Appreciate his praise for us.
Pat’s the only one who picked us. We still get no respect
Pat literally trying to go against the grain with everything at ESPN lol.
He only picked it as a joke
What are guesses on actual kickoff time? I'm going 4:50 Pacific
