Doog legend Dick Newton was the master of appearing to run furiously without actually going anywhere, breaking or avoiding any tackles.

I remember Goldson playing a lot he was just on shitty forgettable teams I think.

Joey Thomas was a double play because I think Neu used him to help sign Paul Arnold, ran him off, he ended up being good, and then he used to be a key figure in local high school football and he had a vendetta against UW and shit on them to local recruits.

I miss culture, and @Rapeculturedawg. I always loved when people started getting misty eyed about The U docs mentioning the 94 and 2000 wins. Miami as a power is much more fun and interesting than a program like Georgia or Clemson.

Assume it will be in the Wam for the Wam folks

It’s impossible to find two power-conference college football programs farther apart geographically than Miami and Washington.

They have faced each other only three times, but the Hurricanes and Huskies have a unique bond. Before they ever squared off, they split the 1991 national title, with 12-0 Miami crowned by the AP poll and 12-0 Washington getting the nod from the coaches poll.

Then, in 1994, Washington traveled to Miami as a 14-point underdog and snapped the Hurricanes’ NCAA-record 58-game home winning streak. The Huskies’ 38-20 win became known as “The Whammy in Miami.”

What no one could’ve imagined when No. 4 Miami visited No. 15 Washington in 2000 was the impact that game would have on both programs, particularly the Hurricanes, who were looking for revenge but maybe got something bigger from the showdown in Seattle.

Marques Tuiasosopo, Washington QB, 1997-2000: I don’t think either side liked sharing the national title. Then, they go to Miami and beat them and end their record home winning streak. From our side of things, we knew they still wanted to make amends for that, and they still had that chip on their shoulder from 1990. It was a big deal.

There are so many guys like this. Miami has a ton of them. I almost root against them once I've concluded they were mailing it in in college. Paycheck players.
