Agree? Disagree? How many of those 10 did you attend? I was at the holiday bowl against Texas and the triple overtime game against USC in 1999.

I was at Oregon-Oklahoma 2006, Oregon-USC 99, Oregon-Arizona 94, Oregon-Illionis 95, Civil war 2001, Fiesta bowl 2001, The Pick, and all 4 of the one's that didn't quite make the cut.

Nice, that's pretty impressive.

The Michigan game from 2003 should have made the list. We had no right winning that game (especially based on the rest of the season). Michigan's RB, Chris Perry, was an early Heisman contender and we held him to 26 total yards rushing.

I was at the 2003 Michigan game. Definitely one of the best games ever. The game against Cal where the lights went out then we came back to win was great too. Tim Day's catch & run where he broke about 10 tackles on his way to the end zone is one of the best plays in Duck history, IMO.

well i can proudly say I was at the 07 Michigan game, yelling my head off with my wife

wow very impressive! i was a tad bit of a late bloomer. not only my first duck game but first college football game i have ever attended was the oregon-oklahoma game in '06 as a senior in high school sneaking into the student section. then the following year i attended the oregon-USC game (as well as every other home game that has occurred since my freshman year). oh and i went up to the UW game in '07 (another fantastic game) and i'm doing it again next season too.

I was at Oklahoma '06 and USC '99. The one real reason I remember the USC '99 game was 1. Josh Frankel kicking barefoot (not to mention the game winner in 3OT), 2. My dad got tickets through his work (Pepsi) so the only reason I got to go was to help give out cans of the new product, Pepsi One.

BYU @ Autzen? No mention? WOW.

Oregon: 7
Washington: 6

Wow..where to begin?
The 2001 CW is not top 10 material. We beat a mediocre OSU team by single digits and it was a sloppy performance that probably cost us the Heisman and the NC game.

Illinois in 95? I know it was the first nationally televised game at Autzen, but the Illini weren't anything to really write home about. Maybe top 15..but 2007 brought forth more recognized victories.

Michigan 2007....Yes, it was impressive, but more top 15. A little luster is taken off of it because UM struggled the rest of the year.

Now, 2003 Michigan should have made the cut. That game brought us back some recognition.

2000 ASU...quite possibly one of the best games ever? That comeback was improbable.

I wouldn't have minded seeing the 94 CW up there, just because it sealed a rose bowl on enemy turf or even 2007 USC just because of the exposure it brought and put Dixon in the drivers seat for the Heisman.

Also, I think the UW game in 94 is getting a bit overrated. Our biggest win ever? C'mon now. 2001 Fiesta Bowl has that honor as of now.

DMoney I agree the Michigan games could have been switched but I think you forget Michigan went on in 07 to win all there game up until the Ohio State game and then beat Florida in their bowl game so they actual went on to have a pretty good year.

[duckfan96]

I was at the Zona game in 94, the Illini game in 95, the CW in 01 and Wisconsin in 01, as well as USC in 07. I disagree on the ranking tho, anyone who ranks the Holiday bowl over Texas as #10 is smoking some good stuff. That was one of the, if not THE, most exciting games of any sport that I have seen. Wasnt there in person, but on TV the commentators gave Oregon no shot from the get go. AWESOME AWESOME GAME!!!!!

I have been to most all the home games since 1995. I have missed a few but not many and only in the last 5 years as have had a job that does not appreciate person wanting to go to football game on the weekend. In regards to Dmoney and the comment about the win over the huskies in 94 being overrated. I would disagree that it is overrated because without " The Pick " Washington probably would have scored.. and won the game... meaning the CW game that year takes a drastically looking difference. The Michigan game at home I feel deserves to be rated high. I still can remember how deafening Autzen was that game. I think either the Michigan game.. or the USC game in 07 would be my two favorite that have seen in person over the last 13 years. The Oklahoma game was the most poorly officiated game have ever seen. I can remember way too many calls that went against Oregon. It was fitting in the end.. the officials blew a couple that ended up giving Oregon the win.

I've been fortunate to see some good Duck games live. I was at the USC games in 99 and 07. Michigan in 03 and OU in 06. Those were some awesome games!

It's hard to disagree/agree with the list. Everyone has their own requirements of why a game should be on that list. I think the greatest games ever are the ones I went to.
