The year was 2003. The Wazzu Dynasty was in full swing as Bill Doba and his mighty Cougars were sitting at 9-2 and were on a March to the Pacific for a rendezvous with the always strong Texas Longhorns.
Washington was limping into the final game of the season at 5-6 and suffering from two consecutive loses, one of which was a total ass whipping at the hands of the hated Cal Bears, who, at the time, were rated too high.
A loss would have doomed Washington to their first losing season since 1976 when a young Don James narrowly escaped being fired by the now legendary Race.
The week of the game a scandal erupted about Gilby using private jets to transport young boys from Honduras into Seattle for his sexual pleasure.
Many felt Gilby would be fired.
However, a young and enterprising half-brain took on the dawgman.com alias of danoseknows ... and reported the story was only a cover and should Gilby win and get to 6-6 his job would be safe ... but if he lost then UW would fire him on the 50 yard line.
He even offered up three names the boosters had chosen to replace Gilby ... a young DC from SF named Jim Mora, a TUFF coach from back east who was interested in the college game, Herman Edwards ... and a Stanford reject Dennis Green.
Dawgman posters rejoiced at the boosters decision ... fetters and grinolds sent PM's to danoseknows demanding he give up his sources ... he never buckled that it was all a load of shit.
Somehow the Scrapy UnderDawgs found a way to win ... and Gilby's job was safe. The masses rejoiced, the Dawgs were back and next year would be pretty fucking special!
Now for the mammories ...
