Ummm the 95 team would have killed uw just like everyone els they did that year Nebraska had better teams than this 94 95 96 97 98 99 &01 yes uw had a better teams in 91 &92 but as of right now and most of the that decade Nebraska has had the better team Sept 17, 2011 51-38 proves it you got a bowl game granted but we did own your field last year two outta three ill take it and how many win less seasons has Nebraska had in say the last five seasons Nebraska is better at football ! GO BIG RED!
@Blastfimine80: Dude, why are you talking about a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff that has nothing to do with this game? If you wanna go there, this UW team woulda killed any Nebraska team and woulda had a close game with the one that put 60 on Florida.
Guys, shut up if you were not an athlete or had the experience, you dont have the qualifications to analysis/ comments about anyone of them. You are not just professional enough to talk about them! Do you know how much time they put for their dreams? What we can only say is the appreciation to them. Sports is not just only comparing!
Why does everyone have to talk about Emtman in the NFL. He was the FIRST NFL player to come back from that kind of devastating knee injury (Patela, ACL, MCL tears). The guy came back and rutured a disc in neck. He is one of the toughest guys I have ever seen.
Nebraska should have come out and played ball in that bowl game.. whether or not they felt like they deserved better. If you get destroyed in the first game, and openly admit that the opponent looked slow in the rematch, you can't possibly be so short-sighted as to think that you could have hung tough with Nebrask's A-game. I'd have appreciated it if the Skers had given it their all, but they didn't. So gloat if you must, but we all know what kind of hellfire storm you are headed into on 9/17.
Oh, GOD. The Nebraska defense was slow. Hey, buddy, you are supposed to PLAY the game and try to tackle the ball carrier. If you want to WATCH the game, buy a ticket and go sit in the bleachers.
A couple of seasons ago the UW was at the bottom. Arguably the worst A-1 team ever. 2 seasons later, they stuff Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl. Apparently, the Holiday Bowl is beneath Nebraska, and they just phoned it in. One program rising from the depths, the other...?
@vonknackertrasher "...2 seasons later, they stuff Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl 19-7 (after getting SHELLACKED and PUNKED on their own turf by the Huskers, 56-21 in September..." One program rising from the depths...where is Washington in the '11 preseason top 25? Depending on the poll, Nebraska will be ranked anywhere from 15th to 7th, its best starting position since '02. THAT'S rising from the depths.
I remember reading something a few years after this that Nebraska couldn't believe what Emtman was able to do their offensive line. He was an absolute beast.
@yetibiker08 ya Huskies really suck now..... Except they took a poop on Nebraska on national TV and will do it again when we play next year. Don't write checks you ass cant cash.
I used to like the Huskies in the Mid 80's they were strong and consistent then. These days well?? Nebraska the same way they were an apposing force in the 80's but something is seriously missing now!!
@pmprydr 56-21. Knocked Locker out of the Heisman race. 19-7 was embarrassing, but the game meant nothing. We'll see what happens in Lincoln come September 17th.
@cornfednebraskaneer I think its pretty convenient for you that when your team won the game that was significant but when you lost in the bowl game that "meant nothing."
It's so easy to forget that Florida St. was ranked #1 for most of the season and was considered to be the best team in the country before losing their last two games to Miami-FL and Florida.
With that said, both Washington and Miami went undefeated and blew out their opposition in the bowl game. Both teams were deserving and were crowned co-champions.
As for 2010... what do you think of Washington's chances of winning the conference?
@DanielSong39 Florida State was EXCELLENT back in those days, but it had ONE problem...it USUALLY couldn't beat the 'canes. I remember after, I think it was the 1991 game that FSU lost by ONE point, one of the 'noles was quoted as saying something like: "We THOUGHT we were going to win that game. They KNEW they were gonna win it." Pretty much sums the FSU - Miami series of the early '90s up.
@DanielSong39 I would LOVE to see the Huskies win the (for now) Pac-10 this year, but I don't see it happening. As much as I hate to type this, I still think that Oregon and USC have to be considered the favorites to win the conference this year. After YEARS of seeing the Huskies SUCK, that doesn't bother me. I AM, however, expecting the Huskies to make it back to a bowl game this year (for the first time in 8 years) and *hopefully* win it.
@DanielSong39 The press picked the Huskies to finish only 6th this year, but MY gut feeling is that the Dawgs will finish no worse than 5th in the conference this year, and with a little luck, maybe as high as 3rd. Anything better than that would be a pleasant surprise and welcome, but also unexpected, by me. It's Jake Locker's last year on Montlake - it would be shame if the Dawgs don't AT LEAST finish high enough to make it to a bowl game after this season.
@Huskerboy18 The 'huskers lacked overall team speed back then, as good as they otherwise were. Still, beating the 'huskers IN LINCOLN was no easy feat - it's one of the Huskies' best wins in college football in their history.
@80svideoluvr Nebraska was solid in the late 80's/early 90's, but not dominant like the mid/late 90's. Washington was a faster, better team than us and we got beat.
That's very true about speed. It wasn't long after this game that we started recruiting speed and we all know what happened then. :-)
@Huskerboy18 Yup. We sure do! Same thing happened with Washington right before that. In 1988 the Dawgs got embarrassed by, I think it was, Arizona State. After that game Don "The Dawgfather" James and Jim Lambright changed the defensive approach to a more aggressive one and, as you stated about the 'huskers, started recruiting more speed. Too bad Coach James left right after that - the day he quit was (and remains) a black day for all of us Dawg fans.
I'm anxious for the Huskies vs. Huskers this year. I think it will be a very competitive game. My only regret is that I won't be able to come to Seattle. I've always wanted to visit. It looks like an absolutely beautiful city.
@Huskerboy18 Should be a good game. Certainly I'm hoping that the Dawgs give the 'huskers a better game than they did the Sooners a couple of years back. I've always been a 'husker fan. I was very happy for Coach Osborne when the 'huskers FINALLY "broke through" and won a national championship (the BEST part of that was that they FINALLY beat Miami in a bowl game while doing so). I wish the 'huskers well when they move to the (for now) Big Eleven!
@Huskerboy18 I've been thinking - if the Dawgs "uphold their end of the bargain" by winning their first two games in September (including the opener against BYU in Provo) then *maybe* ESPN GameDay will FINALLY make an appearance in Seattle, for the first time ever. If it does, I'll be STOKED!!
@Huskerboy18 I hope so. I've NEVER liked the Buffs. Actually, before about 1989 I never gave the Buff football team much thought - then they came to Seattle right after Sal Aunese died and beat the Huskies in a way that the Huskies RARELY got beat when Don James was head coach. Mostly, though, I didn't like their "holier than thou" coach, McCartney. I thought he was a bastard. Haven't like them since. No doubt about which team I'll be pulling for when the Dawgs and Buffs meet in the future!
@Huskerboy18 Oh - I'll be pulling for the 'huskers when they join the Big Eleven, but in PARTICULAR I'll be pulling for them when they play Miss-again. I DO NOT like that team. I'll be pulling for the 'huskers EVERY TIME they play the Wolverwienies, which should be a "special" event for the 'huskers' coach every time since he once played for the Buckeyes!
There is no doubt that Washington would have beaten Miami that year. Same goes for Nebraska over Michigan in '97. No way Michigan would hang with them.
That '91 Dawgs defense has to be the standard by which all other college defenses are measured, any team, any year. They were simply the most dominant defense to ever take a college football field!
@rjminar1980 Actually the best defense I've seen was the '92 Arizona Wildcats. Too bad they didn't have anything resembling an offense.
The '93 Alabama Crimson Tide and '95 Nebraska also had super defenses. It was a great time for defenses in the 90's; too bad we don't see as many great defenses these days.
And I think Washington would've been a slight favorite over Miami, and it would've been a whale of a football game. It's a shame they couldn't meet on the field.
@rjminar1980 I think you'll get your chance very soon. Washington is on the rise while USC is on the way down. It'll feel like the 90's once again with UCLA and Washington battling for supremacy in the Pac-10.
@DanielSong39 Man I hope you're right, Steve Sarkisian look's like he's gonna be a good coach, and I'm hoping Locker has the Heisman year everyone thinks he might have. I'm not talking national championship yet, but I see no reason we couldn't make a run at the PAC-10 title in 2010.
@rjminar1980 I would LOVE to see that, of course, but after the CRAPPY seasons I've had to endure over the last 7 or 8 years, I'll be PERFECTLY happy with a bowl game appearance. ANY bowl game. (Personally, despite the fact that the press has picked the Dawgs to finish 6th in the Pac-10 this year, my "gut feeling" is that the Dawgs will finish no worse than 5th, and with a break or two, maybe as high as 3rd. I'm keepin' my fingers crossed on THAT count!)
embarrassed? get real.....let us not forget who miami had on defense...let us not forget the how high powered miami was on offense....also the bad thing is miami and UW both played mediocre teams in bowl games. so in the end we will never know.
@getyoasshome As much as I HATE the Miss-again Wolverwienies, I wouldn't call the 1991 Wolverwienies "mediocre." Yes, their one loss was a bad one (31 - 51 to Florida State, IN Ann Arbor), but they otherwise had an OUTSTANDING season (they beat Notre Dame back when beating Notre Dame in football actually meant something) and finished their Big Ten season unbeaten and were FAR and AWAY, the TOP team Big Ten team in SEVERAL offensive and defensive categories .
@getyoasshome I would argue that the Wolverwienie team that the Huskies crushed in the Rose Bowl was better than the Cornhusker team that Miami beat in the Orange Bowl. Miami had an EXCELLENT team in 1991, but Washington's team was better. Would the Huskies have "embarrassed" the 'canes? Well, I guess it depends on what your definition of "embarrass" is within the context of college football. But do I think they would have BEATEN the Hurricanes? Yes. No question in my mind about it.
Such a good team best offensive lineman best defensive player and unit 2 pro quarterbacks napoleon kauffman. In my opinion one of the greatest teams of all time
Great memories of great times for football in Washington. If it wasn't for that moron Rick Neuheisal, the Huskies wouldn't be in the toilet like they are now. I hope UCLA likes it at the top for the time being, because he will take them far, but it will all come crumbling down eventually, and it will happen almost overnight. Look at Neuheisal's track record. It speaks for itself.
@godawgs06 And with his illegal (by NCAA standards) recruiting methods and gambling violations left the Huskies in the toilet. They lost scholarships because of him. Yes Neuheisel won a Rose Bowl, but look at the aftermath of that.
@godawgs06 "Slick Rick" didn't win anything. Marques Tuiasosopo is the reason the 2000 Huskies went to, and won, the Rose Bowl. "Slick Rick" Neu-weasel being the head coach had very little to do with it.
@Fnoel98356 "Slick" Rick won't take his alma mater anywhere, because he's a LOUSY head football coach with no ethics. Why the image of him as a "great" head college football coach persists is beyond me.
@Fnoel98356 I'm with you on "Slick" Rick. Absolutely NO ethics and the guy is one of THE most overrated college head football coaches that I've EVER seen. I can't wait until he takes his alma mater so low that even THEY will be forced to admit that they made a mistake in hiring him (which will be sooner rather than later) - the only bad thing about that is that once they jettison that jerk they might actually start winning football games again. Maybe.
@dixonmixin10 It can happen to ANYBODY. If you don't have good coaching even GREAT programs can suffer. There is evidence of it ALL OVER the college football ranks. The Huskies won't stay down forever. They've got too much tradition to.
This team is underrated...third best team Ive ever seen...speed, with that beast Emtman...its hard to beat an Osborne team in Lincoln and they did...coming back like that...bad night lol...95 huskers tho #1
They killed Miami in 1994 with a average team. Other than the 1995 Nebraska team, the 1991 Washington team was great on offense,defense, and special teams.
@getyoasshome Yeah, but they also had that 58-game home winning streak that they thought would NEVER be broken. I don't remember the 'canes being "probation-riddled" in 1994. What I DO remember is that they had an average (at best) quarterback (Frank Costa) and they didn't RESPECT the Huskies, and that's why the Huskies went to the Orange Bowl and KICKED THEIR BUTTS that year.
the canes were under investigation from 1993 to 1995 and the hammer went down in 1995 season. why should they respect the huskies? have they done ANYTHING that deserves respect when you size up against miami? first off miami was not very good and were very mediocre on offense. no running game and hit or miss WRs. ray lewis was a freshmen also. lets not get carried away UW contended for 1 title while miami had done it 7 times by 1991.
after the 1991 season the huskies were 9-3, 7-4, 7-4...so again why take them serious they were mediocre at best. one thing i do like tho is when a team beats miami they hang on to that one win forever!!! thats great it shows how dominant miami was and to a certain point still is. miami isnt even that good now but when they come to town its big news. after 1991 miami was in the title game the very next year and then went 9-3 and 10-2 with a mediocre roster.
@getyoasshome See, YOUR attitude very much reflects that of the 'canes of the day: "that other team hasn't done anything, so why should we respect them?" Why? Because you ALWAYS respect your opponents. ALWAYS. Never fear, ALWAYS respect them. Your attitude confirms for me that the Huskies would have beaten the 'canes after the 1991 season. Miami had a GREAT run for two decades starting around 1982, but in 1991, the Washington Huskies would've beaten them. Period!
"always respect your opponent" is a cliche and playing the sport on the high school level is the only place you hear that..on the college level that stuff goes out the window..ive been there. so basically based on my "attitude" UW would have won? that makes no sense...so basically mario bailey was respecting desmond howard after he dropped that TD pass errrrrrrr i mean caught that TD pass and struck the heisman pose right? riiiiiiight. im not even speaking on the 91' season im speaking OVERALL.
@getyoasshome I don't get how you figure it's a cliché. You HAVE to respect your opponent if you want to win on a consistent basis. You just HAVE to. Great talent and coaching can take you only so far. If you're arrogant and do not respect ALL your opponents, then (at least) one of them is going to spring up and bite you in the butt sometime!
see this is the problem with teams like UW, michigan, ohio state, texas and other 1 title teams....when a miami fan or nebraska fan says you havent done anything were not speaking on 10 win seasons or some bowl game that no one will remember were only talking about titles....were not being arrogant were just stating facts. if you go to a job with no experience and they ask you what do you know about the job and you know nothing then you will not get the job. you have to have some experience.
@getyoasshome You still have to respect your opponents. ALL of them. How do you think USC kept getting beat the last few years by teams that they were SUPPOSED to beat? I mean, come on - losing to a Husky team last year that they had beaten EASILY (and I do mean EASILY) by 56 points the previous year? That was USC lacking respect for the Huskies and the Huskies taking advantage of that.
hey that husky team was pretty good i like jake locker i think he is the #1 pick this year coming out but SC never had any Defense and plus they had taylor mays coming home they had to stick it to him.
@getyoasshome Pardon me, but under Don James the Huskies were usually anything BUT "mediocre." Trouble was that he left right before the 1993 season started and it just hasn't been the same for the Dawgs since then. Also - Miami is in a state that churns high school football players out like few states can. Washington does not. In other words: "Without good coaching, the Huskies have an excuse for sucking." What's the 'canes excuse?
hey im just stating the facts. after the 1992 season UW didnt win the pac 10 again. what happened to miami? the same thing.....coaching...after butch davis left in 2000 larry coker won with butch's guys and when it came time to get his own guys he sucked. he lost the pipeline and the talent became watered down. regardless if the state churns out players doesnt mean you win. if thats the case texas should have 15 titles.
@getyoasshome Right. But you have to have SOMETHING going for you in order to be able to win on a consistent basis. Tradition, or LOTS of in-state talent, or the ability to get talent from ANYWHERE if you don't have tons of in-state talent or really good coaching. When Don James was the Huskies' coach, they had the coaching part down COLD. They also usually had the recruiting part down, but guess where MOST of Washington's football talent came from then and STILL comes from? California.
well it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that the northwest is NOT football country..its more basketball and baseball than anything. you have 2 big cities in seattle and portland and i live in portland and the last big time football player to come from here is joey harrington....enuff said. in order to win you have to have a couple knuckleheads on the squad. the huskies need to go to compton and the bay area to get some guys that might not be the best people but great on the field.
@getyoasshome Well, the Huskies HAVE done that sort of thing in the past. I'm not sure I agree with you on that. I think the Pacific Northwest supports football. I LOVE college football! But we just don't have the population or talent that places like California, Texas, and Florida have. Doesn't mean we don't like football! I'm all for winning but I think it's possible to do so without sacrificing integrity and your soul.
we dont have nearly the numbers i played against mike hass in high school and i thought he was the shit then i seen him in the NFL and he was hella slow so i think the states like florida and cali have us beat by a little but they also have more sun also.
@getyoasshome Yeah, we haven't got the numbers that places like Florida, Texas, and California do. That's okay. No crime in that. We can still like college football! Actually, I'm a soccer fan (don't hold it against me, please) but I've decided that my FAVORITE sport at this point in my life is college football. I watched the World Cup but now I'm kind of "soccered out." But once college football season starts, I pretty much watch college football all day EVERY Saturday!
@getyoasshome After Don James quit the Dawgs no longer had the coaching quality that they'd had under HIM, and after a while they lost recruits from California, and then they started losing recruits from Washington state. When you're a school like Washington and you get to the point where you can't even bring in the best high school football players from your OWN state, then you're gonna have problems.
the same problems that the huskies had miami had and they are just now coming out of those problems just like the huskies are just now coming out of those problems. my dad is a HUGE dawgs fan we've been to plenty games and after they let slick rick go they were trying to fix the huskies "image" whatever that means so they hired safe guys. UW is the only school not named USC that can recruit So Cal, florida, texas etc...in the pac 10. maybe they can get that pipeline back.
@getyoasshome Yup. That's right. "Slick" Rick had no ethics (plus he's not really all that great a college football coach. Not really). Tyrone Willingham is one of the most "stand up" guys I've ever seen, but for whatever reason or reasons it just didn't work out for him up here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on Coach "Sark," but I'm not counting on him being here as long as Coach James was.
UW will be fine i been going up there since i was a kid to see games i used to get tickets from walter bailey he went to the same high school as my sister at benson tech and now hes a football coach at jefferson high in north east portland.
@getyoasshome Really? I hope he's doing well. Those early 1990s Huskies left me with some GREAT memories. I wish them all well. (Even Billy Joe. Dummy)
didnt billy joe get in trouble while don james was there? and that cocaine and gun ring that was going on wasnt that happening when don james was there? i remember seeing that on the pre game show of the rose bowl in 1992 when michigan won the rose bowl against UW.
@getyoasshome Yeah, Billy Joe f*cked up on Don James' watch. Dummy. Cocaine and gun ring? You must be confusing the Husky program with Oklahoma's or Miami's!! LOL! I don't remember ANYTHING about anything like THAT! And I've been back up here since I got out of the navy in 1993. And Michigan won the 1993 Rose Bowl against the U-Dub. The Huskies kicked their asses in the '92 game, 34 - 14.
if you can find tape of the 1993 rose bowl you will see it it was on before the game they talked about billy joe and some safety i cant remember his name but he was doing a little too much.
@getyoasshome Well, I prefer not to think of the Huskies in that way. Don James was an EXCELLENT head coach and he WASN'T a cheater. Anything like that that happened while he was the head coach was SURELY done without his foreknowledge.
c'mon now dont be so naive...i dont know if you played college sports but i'll tell you....there is not one thing that goes on inside a program that coaches dont know about unless its a spur of the moment thing where a player does something dumb. other than that i can guarantee you that coaches know when shady things are going on with their teams. don james knew just like dennis erickson knew about what miami was doing.
@getyoasshome Well, to me that just shows your pro-Miami bias. Maybe there were SOME things that went on at the U-Dub when Don James was the coach, but I very much doubt that Billy Joe's loan was one of them and I am CERTAIN that WHATEVER "infractions" were committed by the University of Washington back then they PALE in comparison to what the U of M (Florida version) was doing. You apparently feel differently, but, frankly, I don't want to hear about it. Thank you.
@getyoasshome Don James was, and IS, an honest man. Dennis Erickson, on the other hand, is a f*cking slimeball. I HATE Dennis Erickson. For you to suggest that the Huskies under Don James were just as "guilty" as the 'canes were under D.E. shows just how biased you are. Period.
you dont even know what you are talking about LOL!!! miami got in trouble for financial aid fraud thats it...billy joe thought he was joe montana and tried to finance his future which was a failure. not to mention some other things that got them in trouble....miami got put in the limelight because miami was a power house and had multiple national titles and rarely lost games.
@getyoasshome Again, you're showing your pro-'cane bias. I'm pretty damn sure that the U of M (Florida version) was guilty of MUCH more than just "financial aid fraud" but for SOME reason it got off lightly from the hypocritical NCAA. Don't know how or why, and I don't care. But I'm not gonna sit here and let you try to tell me that the U-Dub was as guilty as the U of M when Don James was the Huskies' coach. I'm just not. You can call it whatever you want to, but I'm not going to put up with it
miami players were connected to a Pell grant scheme and NCAA caught wind and hit miami with the "lack of institutional control" not to mention players were getting arrested left and right...not convicted but arrested. thats why miami was only on probation for 2 years from 1995 to 1997 they lost schollys and couldnt go to a bowl games. UW didnt get in nearly as much trouble at miami they didnt take bowl games away at UW. miami was fucked up from 95-97 watered down talent and a blind coach.
@getyoasshome Just because the 'canes got nailed only for "financial aid fraud" doesn't prove anything. Barry Switzer was AT LEAST as much of a slimeball as Dennis Erickson is but his Chokelahoma teams didn't get caught until he'd been there for about 15 years. I'm pretty damn sure the NCAA, had it CHOSEN to, could've put the Sooners on probation VERY EARLY in Switzer's career there, but they seemed to be reluctant to do much about program's like Oklahoma's until the '80s came.
@getyoasshome Bottom line: unlike what YOU apparently believe, I don't believe that ALL programs cheat. At least, not all to the same degree. If you believe that, then that's your business, but you'll never get me to agree with you on that. Sorry.
@getyoasshome If what I am is what you want to call being "naïve" then so be it. You saying that ALL football programs cheat to the same degree, to me, is like saying that EVERYBODY who commits crimes does so to the same degree. In other words, that they're ALL like murderers and child molesters even if all they've ever done is stolen perfume from Macy's. To me, those aren't the same. If, to you, ALL transgressions are equal, then that's you. Not me.
i didnt say they cheat at the same degree i said they all cheat. you never heard me say that....its like the old baseball saying goes "if you aint cheatin you aint tryin" and "its only cheatin if you get caught"
@getyoasshome Well, I don't happen to subscribe to those particular ways of thinking. Cheating is dishonest. PERIOD. Anybody who cheats to win is devaluing his or her (or their) accomplishments. Look at what happens when people get caught cheating - they are disgraced, and they USUALLY are stripped of whatever they once won (for a recent example, look at USC and the 2004 season). To some, cheating is "worth it." Not to me.
depends on how you cheat...people hate USC and reggie bush because they supposedly "cheated" but last i checked the games still had to be played and when they played SC won...people are mad because SC made people look like fools on the field. any fan would want bush on their teams. the NCAA cheats players left and right so how is the tea pot gonna call the kettle black....they can look back and strip them all they want but we all know what happened on the field.
@getyoasshome The Huskies got docked for "lack of institutional control" after the Billy Joe fiasco, much like what USC just got dinged for as far as Reggie Bush goes. How much did Don James know and how much did Pete Carroll know? I'm not sure we'll EVER know, for sure. But I don't put those guys in the same "league" as guys like Dennis Erickson and Barry Switzer and Jackie Sherrill when it comes to cheating. When it comes to cheating, THOSE fuckers are in a "league" all their own!
no one is like switzer or erickson ha ha!! erickson drove miami into the ground! if miami never goes on probation in the 90s we never hear about FSU and florida winning titles in the 90s...another cheater is old slick rick he will leave UCLA in shambles in about 5 years.
@getyoasshome I agree with you on THAT! He'll leave the Bruins in shambles, all right, but I'm not sure it's gonna take him 5 years to do so! I am ASHAMED that I have to admit that he was once the Huskies' coach. It's something I'd rather not think about, frankly. I just hope the Dawgs KICK (F)UCLA's butt on November 18th!!
the dawgs shouldnt have a problem with UCLA...SC is on probation and they still cant get a kid to transfer there LOL!! its pathetic maybe they should bring back bob toledo...rick is toxic everywhere he goes they end up on probation.
@getyoasshome Since the Huskies beat (F)UCLA three straight times from 1994 - 96, the Huskies have THE FEWEST wins against (F)UCLA in football of ANY Pac-10 team (only 2, both of them in Seattle). It is HIGH TIME that the Huskies changed that. I am SICK and TIRED of the Dawgs losing to the Bruins in football every season. I don't care what the Dawgs do in football this season, otherwise - if they don't beat the CRAP out of both (F)UCLA and ASU, I, for one, will be SORELY disappointed!!
i actually was at a game in LA....i was visiting some family and the huskies were in town and we got tickets for 20 bucks and it was a sad game.....deshaun foster ran for like 300 yard against the dawgs, my dad was hella pissed.
@getyoasshome Yeah. The Dawgs used to play some HELLACIOUS defense under Don James, but they haven't been the same that way since he left. I don't know how well Coach Holt will do with Husky personnel (vs. Trojan) but they really have nowhere to go but UP! I want wins, BIG wins, over ASU and (F)UCLA this year. BIIIIIIIG wins over those two teams or I will be VERY disappointed!
one thing i do know is they will be able to raid southern cali like they used to...i always tell these idiot duck fans that UW will always be able to get kids to go to seattle because well.....its seattle and not boring ass eugene...ive been to eugene and when i got there i couldnt wait to leave.
@getyoasshome And I always HATED USC football when I was growing up. Absolutely HATED it. But you know what? Under Pete Carroll I developed a level of respect for the Trojans, so I'm sorry to see them get in trouble, now. I'm not sure my "level of respect" for USC football will remain in place now that Lane Kiffin is coaching that team now, though! LOL
i dont like lane kiffin he reminds me of some punk kid who never played but is the coach because his dad is someone high up or something like that. i liked SC when they were killin it in the early 2000s they would play anyone anytime and anywhere. people run from fresno state all the time and SC wanted them bad and played them. they would play anyone they tried to schedule florida but of course they tucked tail and turned SC down in 2008.
@getyoasshome LOL! Not a big fan of the Gators or the 'noles, eh? USC was "da bomb" under Pete Carroll - I don't know how they'll be under L.K. Probably not as good (I'm hoping). That USC vs. Fresno State game...I remember that game! It was AWESOME! It was a weird night for Reggie Bush - he'd either get stuffed for a loss or he'd rip a 60 yd. run off. There was NOTHING in the middle! USC won that game, but Fresno State gave 'em just about all they could handle before falling!
i bet my brother in law 20 bucks he thought SC would kill them i told him no way they all know each other and fresno state isnt even scared of jesus himself i told him they would score at least 28 on SC LOL!!!! and no i dont like florida or FSU..i can tolerate FSU because they are not arrogant but florida fans are arrogant and they are 90% bandwagon fans many of them couldnt tell you who danny weurful is.
@getyoasshome I've always been an 'nole fan. Sort of. Actually, not so much the TEAM, but the COLORS. Florida State has ABSOLUTELY the BEST uniforms in college football, BAR NONE, as far as I'm concerned. Second place, for me, are Notre Dame's. In both cases I'm talking about the home uniforms (FSU's "regular" home uniforms of gold helmets, garnet jerseys, and gold pants).
i respect the noles because they act like they have been there....florida dont. the noles have these new unis with black helmets they look pretty nice..
@getyoasshome NOOOOOooooooooooooooooo! Black's not part of Florida State's color scheme! Garnet and gold! Garnet and gold! Garnet and gold! Garnet and gold! Garnet and gold! Garnet and gold! Garnet and gold!
have you seen the black unis? they are tight you gotta see them they are black, garnet and gold....black helmets, black jerseys and pants...i mean its not florida state but it looks good...its like miami when they were wearing all orange a few years back that shit sucked it was horrible and it didnt rub off on the team.
@getyoasshome No, I haven't seen them. Yeah, I know that SOME people like the "all-black" look, but I'm not one of those people, ESPECIALLY if the school colors don't even include black! Unless, you know, we're talking about a ninja, or something, all black doesn't do much for me. Sorry. Garnet and Gold, Garnet and Gold, Garnet and Gold!!
@getyoasshome LOL! Yeah, I'm not a big Gator fan, either. Especially with all of the "Saint" Tebow stuff they had going on in Gainesville over the last 4 years. Talk about overhyped - SHEESH! Plus, now I think that Urban Meyer is a jerk. I liked him when he coached Utah, but now I think he's a pompous jerk. Too bad I think that Nick Saban is a jerk, too, 'cause otherwise I've always been a 'bama fan (kind of).
urban meyer wants to be bobby bowden soooooooo bad but the thing is nobody will ever take florida serious as a power house....they never leave the south to play anyone....last time they left the south to play a ranked team in the regular season was 19 years ago they lost to syracuse in NY. urb is an ass hole thats for sure...nick saban is like a robot all he cares about is football, football, football.
@getyoasshome Plus he's a dick. I HATE these coaches who feel like the ONLY way they can "get results" out of their players is to SCREAM at them all the time. Sure, lots of coaches like that "get results," but so do lots of coaches who DON'T do that sort of thing (Mike Krzewzeski at Duke and Pete Carroll when he was at USC come to mind. As does Don James). I have a certain level of respect for 'bama football because of the legacy of "Bear" Bryant, but I do NOT like Coach Saban, AT ALL.
@getyoasshome I hope that now that "Saint" Tebow is gone the Gators won't be quite so good. I just don't like 'em. I never really have. Yeah, I've heard that about the Gators - that they VERY rarely leave the South for non-conference football games. Michigan's kinda the same way in that they NEVER go to the South, except for bowl games. To me that makes BOTH those programs look a little but like a bunch of pussies.
ive been to more dawg games than duck games and i live in portland...my dad used to be a season ticket holder. i'll never forget going to the UW/michigan game in 2001 and i have never felt a stadium shake like that. rock alexander (best name ever) picked up a blocked FG and ran it back then omari lowe picked off a pass and scored it was crazy!!!! i also went to the oregon/UW game in 2000 it was nice!! i also went to the UW/miami game....no comment i was pissed!!!!!
@getyoasshome I missed the U-Dub vs. Miss-again game (I had to work) but I recorded it and watched it later. I was STOKED when Roc Alexander returned that blocked FG. I HATE the Wolverines. THE most POMPOUS bunch of assholes in college football, as far as I'M concerned. I actually WENT to U-Dub vs. Miami. THAT GAME ROCKED!!!
that UW/miami game was like being hit by a rock in the head and being dazed for 2 hours...by the time miami got it together it was too late...that was ken dorsey's only regular season loss as a starter at miami....if miami wins that game we go to 3 straight national title games..that year the pac 10 was running shit....oregon state almost beat UW that year ocho cinco had a huge game against UW but they came up short at the end i have that game on tape.
you dont even want to know what was going on down there when he was there. i know people that say they never saw chad johnson in a class as long as he was there...
@getyoasshome I was SO PISSED OFF when, in 2001, the Huskies were down to fucking Miss-again 0 - 14 in Ann Arbor, came back to take a one point lead late in the game, and then Miss-again missed a FG in the last minute that would have almost certainly won the game for the Dawgs, but that dipshit "Slick Rick" had SOMEHOW allowed the Dawgs to let too many players on the field AFTER A F*CKING TIMEOUT so Miss-again got another chance at the game winning FG and nailed it. I WAS PISSED.
@getyoasshome Had the Dawgs won that 2001 game against Miss-again, AS THEY SHOULD HAVE, the all-time series would be DEAD EVEN at 6 wins apiece: 2 each in Ann Arbor, 2 each in Seattle, and 2 each in Pasadena. But NOOOOOOOOOOO. "Slick Rick" had to go fuck it up by not making sure his team had the right amount of players on the field AFTER A FUCKING TO. What a dickhead! I hate that bastard and I REALLY HOPE that the Dawgs beat (F)UCLA by about 50 points this year. The Bruins SUCK!
@getyoasshome Hey, I actually LIKED the 'canes (to a certain degree) back in those days. Mostly because they used to beat Oklahoma and I HATED the Sooners when they were coached by Barry ("I recruit criminals") Switzer.
people always talk trash about miami as if miami players dont graduate....85% of miami's players in the 80s and 90s graduated...now quiet as kept OU has had some of the worse sanctions put on them off and on for over 30 years and florida themselves have been on probation all through the 1980s they were paying players and paying their child support but no one ever remembers that.
its in the top 10 with princeton and all those schools you can google that stuff..and im only talking about athletes not the student body...miami is a private school anyway.
@getyoasshome But the 'canes took it too far, such as during the DESTRUCTION of Texas in that one Cotton Bowl, after which the f*ckhead NCAA came down SO HARD on "celebrating" that nowadays you can hardly smile after you score a touchdown without risking incurring an "Unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty! (Like that B.S. call against Jake Locker a couple of years ago when the Dawgs were playing BYU in Seattle) Thanks for nothing, U of M 'canes!!
@SFFOOL76 One of the more ridiculous ESPN series they had was when they compared the '05 USC teams to national championships in the past. I knew those guys had lost their marbles when they picked the USC team to beat '91 Washington. Just an embarrassing display of ignorance.
@DanielSong39 Even worse, for me, was ESPN's list of top teams (pro, college, women's, men's, you name it) from their (ESPN's) first 25 years of existence. Both the 1991 and 2001 'cane teams made the list. The 2001 team? I can't argue with that TOO much. But to, WITH CERTAINTY, put the 1991 'cane team on that list in favor of the Huskies? To me that was just another example of the East Coast bias that we West Coasters like to talk about all the time.
@misteratheist1 And Jay Berry wasn't even really all that fast. The Huskies' FASTEST running back that year was probably Napoleon Kaufman, but he was just a freshman and I don't think he played all that much. The guy who got playing time and who would have REALLY outrun those 'husker players was "Beno" Bryant. I don't think he was QUITE as fast as "Nip," but that year he got much more playing time than "Nip" did and he was PLENTY fast, believe me!
*sigh* the good old days.....Hell we even fired Jim Lambright for his 8-4 seasons because of these powerhouse teams we used to have. Now, we'd be happy to get to .500.
@broncoted Yeah, I'm afraid that Jim Lambright wasn't as good a head coach as he liked to think he would be. And yes, unlike under Don James, the Huskies OFTEN looked unprepared / undisciplined / uninterested under Jim Lambright. But another reason he got fired is because he and the U-Dub's then-athletic director, Barbara Hedges, didn't get along. His teams often looking unprepared and like they didn't really care about the outcome of their games didn't help his cause with her, to be sure!
One of the best college defenses ever.... 91 Huskies... SICK defense....

Nebraska should have come out and played ball in that bowl game.. whether or not they felt like they deserved better. If you get destroyed in the first game, and openly admit that the opponent looked slow in the rematch, you can't possibly be so short-sighted as to think that you could have hung tough with Nebrask's A-game. I'd have appreciated it if the Skers had given it their all, but they didn't. So gloat if you must, but we all know what kind of hellfire storm you are headed into on 9/17.

It's so easy to forget that Florida St. was ranked #1 for most of the season and was considered to be the best team in the country before losing their last two games to Miami-FL and Florida.
With that said, both Washington and Miami went undefeated and blew out their opposition in the bowl game. Both teams were deserving and were crowned co-champions.
As for 2010... what do you think of Washington's chances of winning the conference?
DanielSong39 1 year ago
@DanielSong39 Florida State was EXCELLENT back in those days, but it had ONE problem...it USUALLY couldn't beat the 'canes. I remember after, I think it was the 1991 game that FSU lost by ONE point, one of the 'noles was quoted as saying something like: "We THOUGHT we were going to win that game. They KNEW they were gonna win it." Pretty much sums the FSU - Miami series of the early '90s up.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@DanielSong39 I would LOVE to see the Huskies win the (for now) Pac-10 this year, but I don't see it happening. As much as I hate to type this, I still think that Oregon and USC have to be considered the favorites to win the conference this year. After YEARS of seeing the Huskies SUCK, that doesn't bother me. I AM, however, expecting the Huskies to make it back to a bowl game this year (for the first time in 8 years) and *hopefully* win it.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@DanielSong39 The press picked the Huskies to finish only 6th this year, but MY gut feeling is that the Dawgs will finish no worse than 5th in the conference this year, and with a little luck, maybe as high as 3rd. Anything better than that would be a pleasant surprise and welcome, but also unexpected, by me. It's Jake Locker's last year on Montlake - it would be shame if the Dawgs don't AT LEAST finish high enough to make it to a bowl game after this season.

@Huskerboy18 The 'huskers lacked overall team speed back then, as good as they otherwise were. Still, beating the 'huskers IN LINCOLN was no easy feat - it's one of the Huskies' best wins in college football in their history.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@80svideoluvr Nebraska was solid in the late 80's/early 90's, but not dominant like the mid/late 90's. Washington was a faster, better team than us and we got beat.
That's very true about speed. It wasn't long after this game that we started recruiting speed and we all know what happened then. :-)
Huskerboy18 1 year ago
@Huskerboy18 Yup. We sure do! Same thing happened with Washington right before that. In 1988 the Dawgs got embarrassed by, I think it was, Arizona State. After that game Don "The Dawgfather" James and Jim Lambright changed the defensive approach to a more aggressive one and, as you stated about the 'huskers, started recruiting more speed. Too bad Coach James left right after that - the day he quit was (and remains) a black day for all of us Dawg fans.

I'm anxious for the Huskies vs. Huskers this year. I think it will be a very competitive game. My only regret is that I won't be able to come to Seattle. I've always wanted to visit. It looks like an absolutely beautiful city.
Good luck this season!
Huskerboy18 1 year ago
@Huskerboy18 Should be a good game. Certainly I'm hoping that the Dawgs give the 'huskers a better game than they did the Sooners a couple of years back. I've always been a 'husker fan. I was very happy for Coach Osborne when the 'huskers FINALLY "broke through" and won a national championship (the BEST part of that was that they FINALLY beat Miami in a bowl game while doing so). I wish the 'huskers well when they move to the (for now) Big Eleven!

@Huskerboy18 I hope so. I've NEVER liked the Buffs. Actually, before about 1989 I never gave the Buff football team much thought - then they came to Seattle right after Sal Aunese died and beat the Huskies in a way that the Huskies RARELY got beat when Don James was head coach. Mostly, though, I didn't like their "holier than thou" coach, McCartney. I thought he was a bastard. Haven't like them since. No doubt about which team I'll be pulling for when the Dawgs and Buffs meet in the future!

@rjminar1980 Actually the best defense I've seen was the '92 Arizona Wildcats. Too bad they didn't have anything resembling an offense.
The '93 Alabama Crimson Tide and '95 Nebraska also had super defenses. It was a great time for defenses in the 90's; too bad we don't see as many great defenses these days.
And I think Washington would've been a slight favorite over Miami, and it would've been a whale of a football game. It's a shame they couldn't meet on the field.

@getyoasshome As much as I HATE the Miss-again Wolverwienies, I wouldn't call the 1991 Wolverwienies "mediocre." Yes, their one loss was a bad one (31 - 51 to Florida State, IN Ann Arbor), but they otherwise had an OUTSTANDING season (they beat Notre Dame back when beating Notre Dame in football actually meant something) and finished their Big Ten season unbeaten and were FAR and AWAY, the TOP team Big Ten team in SEVERAL offensive and defensive categories .
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@getyoasshome I would argue that the Wolverwienie team that the Huskies crushed in the Rose Bowl was better than the Cornhusker team that Miami beat in the Orange Bowl. Miami had an EXCELLENT team in 1991, but Washington's team was better. Would the Huskies have "embarrassed" the 'canes? Well, I guess it depends on what your definition of "embarrass" is within the context of college football. But do I think they would have BEATEN the Hurricanes? Yes. No question in my mind about it.

after the 1991 season the huskies were 9-3, 7-4, 7-4...so again why take them serious they were mediocre at best. one thing i do like tho is when a team beats miami they hang on to that one win forever!!! thats great it shows how dominant miami was and to a certain point still is. miami isnt even that good now but when they come to town its big news. after 1991 miami was in the title game the very next year and then went 9-3 and 10-2 with a mediocre roster.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome See, YOUR attitude very much reflects that of the 'canes of the day: "that other team hasn't done anything, so why should we respect them?" Why? Because you ALWAYS respect your opponents. ALWAYS. Never fear, ALWAYS respect them. Your attitude confirms for me that the Huskies would have beaten the 'canes after the 1991 season. Miami had a GREAT run for two decades starting around 1982, but in 1991, the Washington Huskies would've beaten them. Period!
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
"always respect your opponent" is a cliche and playing the sport on the high school level is the only place you hear that..on the college level that stuff goes out the window..ive been there. so basically based on my "attitude" UW would have won? that makes no sense...so basically mario bailey was respecting desmond howard after he dropped that TD pass errrrrrrr i mean caught that TD pass and struck the heisman pose right? riiiiiiight. im not even speaking on the 91' season im speaking OVERALL.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome I don't get how you figure it's a cliché. You HAVE to respect your opponent if you want to win on a consistent basis. You just HAVE to. Great talent and coaching can take you only so far. If you're arrogant and do not respect ALL your opponents, then (at least) one of them is going to spring up and bite you in the butt sometime!
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
see this is the problem with teams like UW, michigan, ohio state, texas and other 1 title teams....when a miami fan or nebraska fan says you havent done anything were not speaking on 10 win seasons or some bowl game that no one will remember were only talking about titles....were not being arrogant were just stating facts. if you go to a job with no experience and they ask you what do you know about the job and you know nothing then you will not get the job. you have to have some experience.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome You still have to respect your opponents. ALL of them. How do you think USC kept getting beat the last few years by teams that they were SUPPOSED to beat? I mean, come on - losing to a Husky team last year that they had beaten EASILY (and I do mean EASILY) by 56 points the previous year? That was USC lacking respect for the Huskies and the Huskies taking advantage of that.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
hey that husky team was pretty good i like jake locker i think he is the #1 pick this year coming out but SC never had any Defense and plus they had taylor mays coming home they had to stick it to him.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Pardon me, but under Don James the Huskies were usually anything BUT "mediocre." Trouble was that he left right before the 1993 season started and it just hasn't been the same for the Dawgs since then. Also - Miami is in a state that churns high school football players out like few states can. Washington does not. In other words: "Without good coaching, the Huskies have an excuse for sucking." What's the 'canes excuse?
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
hey im just stating the facts. after the 1992 season UW didnt win the pac 10 again. what happened to miami? the same thing.....coaching...after butch davis left in 2000 larry coker won with butch's guys and when it came time to get his own guys he sucked. he lost the pipeline and the talent became watered down. regardless if the state churns out players doesnt mean you win. if thats the case texas should have 15 titles.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Right. But you have to have SOMETHING going for you in order to be able to win on a consistent basis. Tradition, or LOTS of in-state talent, or the ability to get talent from ANYWHERE if you don't have tons of in-state talent or really good coaching. When Don James was the Huskies' coach, they had the coaching part down COLD. They also usually had the recruiting part down, but guess where MOST of Washington's football talent came from then and STILL comes from? California.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
well it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that the northwest is NOT football country..its more basketball and baseball than anything. you have 2 big cities in seattle and portland and i live in portland and the last big time football player to come from here is joey harrington....enuff said. in order to win you have to have a couple knuckleheads on the squad. the huskies need to go to compton and the bay area to get some guys that might not be the best people but great on the field.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Well, the Huskies HAVE done that sort of thing in the past. I'm not sure I agree with you on that. I think the Pacific Northwest supports football. I LOVE college football! But we just don't have the population or talent that places like California, Texas, and Florida have. Doesn't mean we don't like football! I'm all for winning but I think it's possible to do so without sacrificing integrity and your soul.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
we dont have nearly the numbers i played against mike hass in high school and i thought he was the shit then i seen him in the NFL and he was hella slow so i think the states like florida and cali have us beat by a little but they also have more sun also.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Yeah, we haven't got the numbers that places like Florida, Texas, and California do. That's okay. No crime in that. We can still like college football! Actually, I'm a soccer fan (don't hold it against me, please) but I've decided that my FAVORITE sport at this point in my life is college football. I watched the World Cup but now I'm kind of "soccered out." But once college football season starts, I pretty much watch college football all day EVERY Saturday!
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@getyoasshome After Don James quit the Dawgs no longer had the coaching quality that they'd had under HIM, and after a while they lost recruits from California, and then they started losing recruits from Washington state. When you're a school like Washington and you get to the point where you can't even bring in the best high school football players from your OWN state, then you're gonna have problems.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
the same problems that the huskies had miami had and they are just now coming out of those problems just like the huskies are just now coming out of those problems. my dad is a HUGE dawgs fan we've been to plenty games and after they let slick rick go they were trying to fix the huskies "image" whatever that means so they hired safe guys. UW is the only school not named USC that can recruit So Cal, florida, texas etc...in the pac 10. maybe they can get that pipeline back.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Yup. That's right. "Slick" Rick had no ethics (plus he's not really all that great a college football coach. Not really). Tyrone Willingham is one of the most "stand up" guys I've ever seen, but for whatever reason or reasons it just didn't work out for him up here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on Coach "Sark," but I'm not counting on him being here as long as Coach James was.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
UW will be fine i been going up there since i was a kid to see games i used to get tickets from walter bailey he went to the same high school as my sister at benson tech and now hes a football coach at jefferson high in north east portland.

@getyoasshome Really? I hope he's doing well. Those early 1990s Huskies left me with some GREAT memories. I wish them all well. (Even Billy Joe. Dummy)
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
didnt billy joe get in trouble while don james was there? and that cocaine and gun ring that was going on wasnt that happening when don james was there? i remember seeing that on the pre game show of the rose bowl in 1992 when michigan won the rose bowl against UW.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Yeah, Billy Joe f*cked up on Don James' watch. Dummy. Cocaine and gun ring? You must be confusing the Husky program with Oklahoma's or Miami's!! LOL! I don't remember ANYTHING about anything like THAT! And I've been back up here since I got out of the navy in 1993. And Michigan won the 1993 Rose Bowl against the U-Dub. The Huskies kicked their asses in the '92 game, 34 - 14.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
if you can find tape of the 1993 rose bowl you will see it it was on before the game they talked about billy joe and some safety i cant remember his name but he was doing a little too much.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Well, I prefer not to think of the Huskies in that way. Don James was an EXCELLENT head coach and he WASN'T a cheater. Anything like that that happened while he was the head coach was SURELY done without his foreknowledge.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
c'mon now dont be so naive...i dont know if you played college sports but i'll tell you....there is not one thing that goes on inside a program that coaches dont know about unless its a spur of the moment thing where a player does something dumb. other than that i can guarantee you that coaches know when shady things are going on with their teams. don james knew just like dennis erickson knew about what miami was doing.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Well, to me that just shows your pro-Miami bias. Maybe there were SOME things that went on at the U-Dub when Don James was the coach, but I very much doubt that Billy Joe's loan was one of them and I am CERTAIN that WHATEVER "infractions" were committed by the University of Washington back then they PALE in comparison to what the U of M (Florida version) was doing. You apparently feel differently, but, frankly, I don't want to hear about it. Thank you.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Don James was, and IS, an honest man. Dennis Erickson, on the other hand, is a f*cking slimeball. I HATE Dennis Erickson. For you to suggest that the Huskies under Don James were just as "guilty" as the 'canes were under D.E. shows just how biased you are. Period.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
you dont even know what you are talking about LOL!!! miami got in trouble for financial aid fraud thats it...billy joe thought he was joe montana and tried to finance his future which was a failure. not to mention some other things that got them in trouble....miami got put in the limelight because miami was a power house and had multiple national titles and rarely lost games.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Again, you're showing your pro-'cane bias. I'm pretty damn sure that the U of M (Florida version) was guilty of MUCH more than just "financial aid fraud" but for SOME reason it got off lightly from the hypocritical NCAA. Don't know how or why, and I don't care. But I'm not gonna sit here and let you try to tell me that the U-Dub was as guilty as the U of M when Don James was the Huskies' coach. I'm just not. You can call it whatever you want to, but I'm not going to put up with it
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
miami players were connected to a Pell grant scheme and NCAA caught wind and hit miami with the "lack of institutional control" not to mention players were getting arrested left and right...not convicted but arrested. thats why miami was only on probation for 2 years from 1995 to 1997 they lost schollys and couldnt go to a bowl games. UW didnt get in nearly as much trouble at miami they didnt take bowl games away at UW. miami was fucked up from 95-97 watered down talent and a blind coach.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Just because the 'canes got nailed only for "financial aid fraud" doesn't prove anything. Barry Switzer was AT LEAST as much of a slimeball as Dennis Erickson is but his Chokelahoma teams didn't get caught until he'd been there for about 15 years. I'm pretty damn sure the NCAA, had it CHOSEN to, could've put the Sooners on probation VERY EARLY in Switzer's career there, but they seemed to be reluctant to do much about program's like Oklahoma's until the '80s came.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Bottom line: unlike what YOU apparently believe, I don't believe that ALL programs cheat. At least, not all to the same degree. If you believe that, then that's your business, but you'll never get me to agree with you on that. Sorry.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
if you choose to be naive thats up to you....when millions of dollars are being thrown around no one goes by the book....not even notre dame.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome If what I am is what you want to call being "naïve" then so be it. You saying that ALL football programs cheat to the same degree, to me, is like saying that EVERYBODY who commits crimes does so to the same degree. In other words, that they're ALL like murderers and child molesters even if all they've ever done is stolen perfume from Macy's. To me, those aren't the same. If, to you, ALL transgressions are equal, then that's you. Not me.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
i didnt say they cheat at the same degree i said they all cheat. you never heard me say that....its like the old baseball saying goes "if you aint cheatin you aint tryin" and "its only cheatin if you get caught"
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Well, I don't happen to subscribe to those particular ways of thinking. Cheating is dishonest. PERIOD. Anybody who cheats to win is devaluing his or her (or their) accomplishments. Look at what happens when people get caught cheating - they are disgraced, and they USUALLY are stripped of whatever they once won (for a recent example, look at USC and the 2004 season). To some, cheating is "worth it." Not to me.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
depends on how you cheat...people hate USC and reggie bush because they supposedly "cheated" but last i checked the games still had to be played and when they played SC won...people are mad because SC made people look like fools on the field. any fan would want bush on their teams. the NCAA cheats players left and right so how is the tea pot gonna call the kettle black....they can look back and strip them all they want but we all know what happened on the field.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome The Huskies got docked for "lack of institutional control" after the Billy Joe fiasco, much like what USC just got dinged for as far as Reggie Bush goes. How much did Don James know and how much did Pete Carroll know? I'm not sure we'll EVER know, for sure. But I don't put those guys in the same "league" as guys like Dennis Erickson and Barry Switzer and Jackie Sherrill when it comes to cheating. When it comes to cheating, THOSE fuckers are in a "league" all their own!
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
no one is like switzer or erickson ha ha!! erickson drove miami into the ground! if miami never goes on probation in the 90s we never hear about FSU and florida winning titles in the 90s...another cheater is old slick rick he will leave UCLA in shambles in about 5 years.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome I agree with you on THAT! He'll leave the Bruins in shambles, all right, but I'm not sure it's gonna take him 5 years to do so! I am ASHAMED that I have to admit that he was once the Huskies' coach. It's something I'd rather not think about, frankly. I just hope the Dawgs KICK (F)UCLA's butt on November 18th!!
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
the dawgs shouldnt have a problem with UCLA...SC is on probation and they still cant get a kid to transfer there LOL!! its pathetic maybe they should bring back bob toledo...rick is toxic everywhere he goes they end up on probation.

@getyoasshome Since the Huskies beat (F)UCLA three straight times from 1994 - 96, the Huskies have THE FEWEST wins against (F)UCLA in football of ANY Pac-10 team (only 2, both of them in Seattle). It is HIGH TIME that the Huskies changed that. I am SICK and TIRED of the Dawgs losing to the Bruins in football every season. I don't care what the Dawgs do in football this season, otherwise - if they don't beat the CRAP out of both (F)UCLA and ASU, I, for one, will be SORELY disappointed!!

@getyoasshome Yeah. The Dawgs used to play some HELLACIOUS defense under Don James, but they haven't been the same that way since he left. I don't know how well Coach Holt will do with Husky personnel (vs. Trojan) but they really have nowhere to go but UP! I want wins, BIG wins, over ASU and (F)UCLA this year. BIIIIIIIG wins over those two teams or I will be VERY disappointed!

@getyoasshome And I always HATED USC football when I was growing up. Absolutely HATED it. But you know what? Under Pete Carroll I developed a level of respect for the Trojans, so I'm sorry to see them get in trouble, now. I'm not sure my "level of respect" for USC football will remain in place now that Lane Kiffin is coaching that team now, though! LOL
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
i dont like lane kiffin he reminds me of some punk kid who never played but is the coach because his dad is someone high up or something like that. i liked SC when they were killin it in the early 2000s they would play anyone anytime and anywhere. people run from fresno state all the time and SC wanted them bad and played them. they would play anyone they tried to schedule florida but of course they tucked tail and turned SC down in 2008.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome LOL! Not a big fan of the Gators or the 'noles, eh? USC was "da bomb" under Pete Carroll - I don't know how they'll be under L.K. Probably not as good (I'm hoping). That USC vs. Fresno State game...I remember that game! It was AWESOME! It was a weird night for Reggie Bush - he'd either get stuffed for a loss or he'd rip a 60 yd. run off. There was NOTHING in the middle! USC won that game, but Fresno State gave 'em just about all they could handle before falling!

i bet my brother in law 20 bucks he thought SC would kill them i told him no way they all know each other and fresno state isnt even scared of jesus himself i told him they would score at least 28 on SC LOL!!!! and no i dont like florida or FSU..i can tolerate FSU because they are not arrogant but florida fans are arrogant and they are 90% bandwagon fans many of them couldnt tell you who danny weurful is.

@getyoasshome I've always been an 'nole fan. Sort of. Actually, not so much the TEAM, but the COLORS. Florida State has ABSOLUTELY the BEST uniforms in college football, BAR NONE, as far as I'm concerned. Second place, for me, are Notre Dame's. In both cases I'm talking about the home uniforms (FSU's "regular" home uniforms of gold helmets, garnet jerseys, and gold pants).

have you seen the black unis? they are tight you gotta see them they are black, garnet and gold....black helmets, black jerseys and pants...i mean its not florida state but it looks good...its like miami when they were wearing all orange a few years back that shit sucked it was horrible and it didnt rub off on the team.

80svideoluvr 1 year ago
urban meyer wants to be bobby bowden soooooooo bad but the thing is nobody will ever take florida serious as a power house....they never leave the south to play anyone....last time they left the south to play a ranked team in the regular season was 19 years ago they lost to syracuse in NY. urb is an ass hole thats for sure...nick saban is like a robot all he cares about is football, football, football.
getyoasshome 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Plus he's a dick. I HATE these coaches who feel like the ONLY way they can "get results" out of their players is to SCREAM at them all the time. Sure, lots of coaches like that "get results," but so do lots of coaches who DON'T do that sort of thing (Mike Krzewzeski at Duke and Pete Carroll when he was at USC come to mind. As does Don James). I have a certain level of respect for 'bama football because of the legacy of "Bear" Bryant, but I do NOT like Coach Saban, AT ALL.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@getyoasshome I hope that now that "Saint" Tebow is gone the Gators won't be quite so good. I just don't like 'em. I never really have. Yeah, I've heard that about the Gators - that they VERY rarely leave the South for non-conference football games. Michigan's kinda the same way in that they NEVER go to the South, except for bowl games. To me that makes BOTH those programs look a little but like a bunch of pussies.

@getyoasshome I was SO PISSED OFF when, in 2001, the Huskies were down to fucking Miss-again 0 - 14 in Ann Arbor, came back to take a one point lead late in the game, and then Miss-again missed a FG in the last minute that would have almost certainly won the game for the Dawgs, but that dipshit "Slick Rick" had SOMEHOW allowed the Dawgs to let too many players on the field AFTER A F*CKING TIMEOUT so Miss-again got another chance at the game winning FG and nailed it. I WAS PISSED.
80svideoluvr 1 year ago
@getyoasshome Had the Dawgs won that 2001 game against Miss-again, AS THEY SHOULD HAVE, the all-time series would be DEAD EVEN at 6 wins apiece: 2 each in Ann Arbor, 2 each in Seattle, and 2 each in Pasadena. But NOOOOOOOOOOO. "Slick Rick" had to go fuck it up by not making sure his team had the right amount of players on the field AFTER A FUCKING TO. What a dickhead!

@DanielSong39 Even worse, for me, was ESPN's list of top teams (pro, college, women's, men's, you name it) from their (ESPN's) first 25 years of existence. Both the 1991 and 2001 'cane teams made the list. The 2001 team? I can't argue with that TOO much. But to, WITH CERTAINTY, put the 1991 'cane team on that list in favor of the Huskies? To me that was just another example of the East Coast bias that we West Coasters like to talk about all the time.

This plays shows how the game is more about matchups, not so much fancy Xs and Os.
DE #93 makes bad play that allows a 1st down, then the safety # 31 makes a REALLY poor play... a HB who can run takes care of the rest.

@misteratheist1 And Jay Berry wasn't even really all that fast. The Huskies' FASTEST running back that year was probably Napoleon Kaufman, but he was just a freshman and I don't think he played all that much. The guy who got playing time and who would have REALLY outrun those 'husker players was "Beno" Bryant. I don't think he was QUITE as fast as "Nip," but that year he got much more playing time than "Nip" did and he was PLENTY fast, believe me!

@broncoted Yeah, I'm afraid that Jim Lambright wasn't as good a head coach as he liked to think he would be. And yes, unlike under Don James, the Huskies OFTEN looked unprepared / undisciplined / uninterested under Jim Lambright. But another reason he got fired is because he and the U-Dub's then-athletic director, Barbara Hedges, didn't get along. His teams often looking unprepared and like they didn't really care about the outcome of their games didn't help his cause with her, to be sure!

James wanted to run some time off the clock. With our defense an 8 point lead was the equivelent of a 21 point lead to most teams.
