Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Like Seinfeld, the Washington-Idaho Game was a show about Nothing

    We? played Idaho to open the 2000 season. We? were ranked14th and had Rose Bowl hype. Probably were the highest ranked Pac-10 team. I was there... I remember Idaho scoring an early TD and I thought TSIO. But then we killed them for a while before the backups came in and Idaho scored a bit more. 44-20 is what the internet says was the final score.

    The internet also says the attendance that day was 70,117. A week later against the U it was 74,157.

    Absolutely positively amazing what the Athletic Department and University allowed to happen to the football program.

    Outside of my Willingham book, which made a limited impact at best, Emmert was never held accountable by anyone for bringing Willingham back for the 0-12 season. That season is what put us on a fast track for the shitty crowds of today.
    The hiring of Willingham was the biggest problem, but still.
    Agreed.

    We? really did deserve @Owen12.

    No doubt. With that hire, the program rolled over and accepted perpetual mediocrity or worse. Hiring that fuck stick also split the fanbase, at least until the Owen12 season.
