I would suggest that no football team has ever played in Husky stadium with as much talent on the roster as 2000 Miami. And that includes when the Seahawks played there.

Trick question, same year beating 2000 11-1 Beavlet who probably woulda won the natty if we didn't ruin it.whatshouldicareabout said:

Both were 10 win teams
Excluding 2000?
I'm going to say Michigan State 2022 just so Damone suffers a stroke when he reads this over tears and whisky as he lurks logged out. -
Yeah hard to say anything since then compares to beating that ranked Oregon State team.Doogles said:

Sadly both Miami and Beav smoked us in the return games in 2001. -
I know you're being sarcastic but I don't abide by fully diminishing ranked wins just because they end up looking worse later in the season.Doogles said:

The obvious reason is that if said ranked team doesn't lose then they would have another win and have a better record. The second less supported reason is that athletes of all levels are walking, running mental midgets that can and do get swayed in confidence by things like an early ass kicking by a big out of conference team. -
The fact they couldn’t bounce back mentally from the beat down is evidence they weren’t that good.Canadawg said:

Well you should abide. Early rankings are subjective bullshit based on a few fat fuck writers who couldn't hack it at actual publications and had to settle for sports. MSU proved themselves to be a bottom rung B10 team. Them being top 15 for the first couple of weeks was completely meaningless.Canadawg said:

John McKay teams loaded with hall of fame guys
Either way
The U 2000 team still only has 1 HOFer: Ed Reed.
Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson are the other two who seem likely to make the hall, but with the inflation of WR stats who knows when or if that will happen.
Vince Wilfork was a freshman and he is the other who might make it. I mean someone from those Patriots teams besides Brady/Belichik has to. I don't think Jonathan Vilma did enough.
1957 and 1959 hosting USC, Trooj has Willie Wood and Ron Mix.
1979 hosting USC should have had Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, Anthony Munoz and Bruce Matthews on the team. That's the only year the 4 of them were on the same roster (going off their wikipedia career info). 1981 would have had Allen and Matthews, 1977 Munoz and Lott.

I'd just look at the NFL careers. HOF requires some luck where longevity is concerned. But even with that, you have likely, and potentially three or four HOFmers in some combination of Johnson, Wayne and Wilfork going with Reed. Johnson and Wayne were both tippy top receivers in the NFL for a long time. Johnson played on shitty teams, and Wayne racked up numbers sharing the ball with Harrison and Edge. Wayne was a finalist last year and will eventually get in I think. In addition to his raw historically elite numbers, I think what will get him over the hump was how good he was in the post-season. I assume voters care about that. You have some bad luck with Sean Taylor, who didn't start until the 2001 season, who didn't get a chance to build what many expected to be a HOF career. A rare dude. Again, think Kenny Easley, who also should be in the HOF. Too much Advil bro.whlinder said:

Beyond HOF status, you have Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Jeremy Shockey, Winslow Jr., Vilma ... all top players in the NFL. Some careers were shortened but each of them was an impact player at the next level. Of the offensive linemen, McKinnie, Winston, Romberg and Vernon Carey all started on O lines in the league in their careers. McKinnie was somewhat of a disappointment but held a starting spot with Minnesota and then Baltimore for years. Forgetting about Dan Morgan, who was a fucking beast in the NFL, but his career was cut a bit short because of concussions. Gore doesn't show up on the roster until the next year.
The 79 USC team - which has to be brought up on a Husky board of course - is a good comparison. Hard to say absolutely one over the other. Like any team, they both also had a lot of other very good players who were destined to be bigger stars at the college level than they would in the NFL. But in all likelihood there were at least 2 Hofamers, likely 3 and maybe 4, and a bunch of other players who played at that level for at least a time during their careers ... gives you something to talk about.
Vilma - that year they made him sit out because of the bounty scandal hurt his career. He was a fucking animal at both levels. The hits in the Nebraska game are both meme-worthy.

So should the quality of all wins be purely based on end of season rankings? Teams get hit and cold and suffer crushing losses and inspiring wins. It's not a static season. If the MSU beats UW they could very easily have gone 8-4 or 9-3 for all we know. Go look at their scheduleAtomicDawg said:

I'd just look at the NFL careers. HOF requires some luck where longevity is concerned. But even with that, you have likely, and potentially three or four HOFmers in some combination of Johnson, Wayne and Wilfork going with Reed. Johnson and Wayne were both tippy top receivers in the NFL for a long time. Johnson played on shitty teams, and Wayne racked up numbers sharing the ball with Harrison and Edge. Wayne was a finalist last year and will eventually get in I think. In addition to his raw historically elite numbers, I think what will get him over the hump was how good he was in the post-season. I assume voters care about that. You have some bad luck with Sean Taylor, who didn't start until the 2001 season, who didn't get a chance to build what many expected to be a HOF career. A rare dude. Again, think Kenny Easley, who also should be in the HOF. Too much Advil bro.whlinder said:

I would suggest that no football team has ever played in Husky stadium with as much talent on the roster as 2000 Miami. And that includes when the Seahawks played there.
(No idea how to do the research to back that up so I’ll go with it)
John McKay teams loaded with hall of fame guys
Either way
The U 2000 team still only has 1 HOFer: Ed Reed.
Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson are the other two who seem likely to make the hall, but with the inflation of WR stats who knows when or if that will happen.
Vince Wilfork was a freshman and he is the other who might make it. I mean someone from those Patriots teams besides Brady/Belichik has to. I don't think Jonathan Vilma did enough.
1957 and 1959 hosting USC, Trooj has Willie Wood and Ron Mix.
1979 hosting USC should have had Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, Anthony Munoz and Bruce Matthews on the team. That's the only year the 4 of them were on the same roster (going off their wikipedia career info). 1981 would have had Allen and Matthews, 1977 Munoz and Lott.
Beyond HOF status, you have Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Jeremy Shockey, Winslow Jr., Vilma ... all top players in the NFL. Some careers were shortened but each of them was an impact player at the next level. Of the offensive linemen, McKinnie, Winston, Romberg and Vernon Carey all started on O lines in the league in their careers. McKinnie was somewhat of a disappointment but held a starting spot with Minnesota and then Baltimore for years. Forgetting about Dan Morgan, who was a fucking beast in the NFL, but his career was cut a bit short because of concussions. Gore doesn't show up on the roster until the next year.
The 79 USC team - which has to be brought up on a Husky board of course - is a good comparison. Hard to say absolutely one over the other. Like any team, they both also had a lot of other very good players who were destined to be bigger stars at the college level than they would in the NFL. But in all likelihood there were at least 2 Hofamers, likely 3 and maybe 4, and a bunch of other players who played at that level for at least a time during their careers ... gives you something to talk about.
Vilma - that year they made him sit out because of the bounty scandal hurt his career. He was a fucking animal at both levels. The hits in the Nebraska game are both meme-worthy.
I was there.
Also Kenny Dorsey is a fag who mom should have aborted him.
I'll help you out mochambo: THIS is a hit.

It's a fair point. We? often judge in-season wins by final record, and of course sometimes that's right. When pre-season #1 winds up 6-7, then that pre-season ranking was bullshit. But there are other scenarios.Canadawg said:
So should the quality of all wins be purely based on end of season rankings? Teams get hit and cold and suffer crushing losses and inspiring wins. It's not a static season. If the MSU beats UW they could very easily have gone 8-4 or 9-3 for all we know. Go look at their scheduleAtomicDawg said:
And some just are overrated. Early season rankings are stupid.Canadawg said:
MSU might not have been an ideal example but I stand by my comment. Teams don't play at a specific level consistently all year.GreenRiverGatorz said:
Well you should abide. Early rankings are subjective bullshit based on a few fat fuck writers who couldn't hack it at actual publications and had to settle for sports. MSU proved themselves to be a bottom rung B10 team. Them being top 15 for the first couple of weeks was completely meaningless.Canadawg said:
I know you're being sarcastic but I don't abide by fully diminishing ranked wins just because they end up looking worse later in the season.Doogles said:
Trick question, same year beating 2000 11-1 Beavlet who probably woulda won the natty if we didn't ruin it.whatshouldicareabout said:
Either 2016 Stanford or 2022 Oregon StGladstone said:I'll go with it. What's the best home win since that 2000 team beat Miami? Don't say #3 USC in 2009, they ended up going 5-4 (good for 6th in the P12).
Both were 10 win teams
Excluding 2000?
I'm going to say Michigan State 2022 just so Damone suffers a stroke when he reads this over tears and whisky as he lurks logged out.
The obvious reason is that if said ranked team doesn't lose then they would have another win and have a better record. The second less supported reason is that athletes of all levels are walking, running mental midgets that can and do get swayed in confidence by things like an early ass kicking by a big out of conference team.

Correction - Easley is in the HOF. I don't know why I keep forgetting that. At least they got that right. Should have been first ballot.creepycoug said:

Santana Moss was the second coming of the messiah. Everybody said so, until that hit.

Uh, Santana Moss came into that game with a high ankle sprain and wasn't expected to play at all, which was publicly known. He was ballz for Miami in his career and had a 13-year career in the NFL, most of those as a starter and a guy who beat a lot of NFL teams deep over that time. That kind of player gets a lot of pub around these parts if he comes from the right school.pawz said:creepycoug said:

Moss was a tough motherfucker and at 5'9" (stand corrected) and a buck something took way more than one big hit and always kept rolling. The ankle was the problem that day and the reason he caught one pass and was pulled.
Show me a straight on hit on a 220lb H back running clear with a full head of steam the force of which dislodges the ball and the kid's soul. That's a hit worth bragging about 23 years later bub. Do better or go make me a sammich.
