Thank you. I was at the USC-UW sister kiss (it was the last game I attended before my family moved) and I was super confused by the Bailey comment. He started in 91 so he couldn't have still had eligibility in 95.
1995 against Oregon UW misses a chip shot field goal to apparently lose. Ink levels some hapless duck causing a fumble to get the ball back.
Lambo sits on the ball to play for the field goal again. Which is missed again.
Plays from ahead to tie USC to blow the Rose Bowl. Had we beat Oregon, nothing else would have mattered.
But how was Lambo a shitty coach?
That's why I never bought into the narrative that he could have won the Rose Bowl when Rick did regardless of whether it was his players or not
Completely agree.
That season was absolutely fucking miserable to sit through.
I just remember Walter Bailley "saving" the tie against USC on a last second lob to the corner of the endzone.
Then the doogs rejoiced and chanted "Lambo - Lambo" at his kick ass presser for tying for the Pac 10 and losing out on the Rose Bowl.
And HOW MANY field goals did we miss against Oregon? 5?
Fuck!!!!!!
For 1995, don't forget the stunning 29-21 loss to Notre Dame in front of a sellout Husky Stadium crowd and a national television audience. Particularly painful as an ol' boy I grew up with was playing for the Irish
"In the final 2:46, after they had masterfully accumulated a 21-14 lead, the Huskies: had their punter tackled on fourth down, entirely ignored an All-American receiver on a two-point conversion, threw an interception that was returned 76 yards for a touchdown, and lost a fumble on a kickoff"

IIRC wasn't that game the same day as The Double? I remember hitting serious lows and a major high due to sports that day.
