Spoiler: we lost.

First Husky game I ever attended.

I first read this as Epic Rap Battle, then became disappointed

One guy beat the other guy every time they played along with six National Championships and fourteen conference championships in the tuff SEC
The other guy won half of a National Championship and six conference championships in the Pac-8/10 before football started.
Will you be comparing Pete Sampras to a guy that won his district in high school tennis? -

You seem a little bit on edge. This ought to soothe a bit - and it's topical for your* Ducks.Mosster47 said:One guy beat the other guy every time they played along with six National Championships and fourteen conference championships in the tuff SEC

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over -

@freepubdawg agrees.

I knew it was just a dream that you guys ended the streak, You guys just beat Cal twice.DerekJohnson said:Mosster47 said:One guy beat the other guy every time they played along with six National Championships and fourteen conference championships in the tuff SEC

Got rid of all the unnecessary words for you.Mosster47 said:I'm a huge fucking faggot.

I was at that game. Like DJ said it was disappointing but considering who we were playing not terribly so. I still remember the pass bounce of Spiders face mask. He had a solid five yards in the defender and would have been gone.
-
-
I remember two things about that game.
The first was Bear Bryant coming out of the tunnel and walking around the track as everyone just stared in awe.
Also, who could forget the epic knock down of the ball by Spider's facemask.
Fuck, I must be race bannon old. -
No salt. You just don't compare absolute legends to someone that was good regionally.MisterEm said:@Mosster47, amateur coach, Bearcat alum and quook fan.....has turned @Salemcoog salty.
What gives?
Ask a 20 year old college fan who Bear Bryant is and they will know it without thinking. Ask the same person who Don James is and they won't have a clue.
He was a very good coach for the Pac, but college football doesn't care about the Pac. Only one program has truly ever been relevant nationally from it. -
Nick Saban knows who Don James is, you dumbfuck.Mosster47 said:

You know who doesn't? Dipshit 20 years olds.
Go drown yourself. -
I would fucking hope a guy that coached under someone would know who they are. Nick Saban is already at a level that Don James never came close to.dflea said:

Don James = Terry Donahue = No one knows who the fuck they are outside of old men west of the Rockies.
Just like Oregon of the last decade, you beat on the Pac and are about to get smashed by the big boys. Unfortunately for Oregon they were at the top when you had to earn it on the field and not on a piece of paper like the late 80's and early 90's Doogs. -

You're such a huge faggot. I can't even stand reading your bullshit. You're just a loser fan of a loser program that has to talk shit about an undefeated team because your Pondcrappers couldn't pull it off - making you the best loser.Mosster47 said:

I care what Nick Saban thinks. I don't give a fuck what you and a bunch of 20 year olds think.
In your world 12-0 is a piece of paper. That means you're a huge faggot - which is typical of Duck fans. Our 12-0 season came with a crystal football. What does the First Loser trophy look like?
One more thing.
Fuck off. -
He's actually a loser fan of two loser programs whose idea of a great coach is Rich Roddflea said:

Jeesuz fucking Christ, @Mosster. BTP is making you look young and uninformed.
Think about that for a while. Or at least think before your next poast. . . .

Like it or not, this is more or less true. James had his moments, but he's a much bigger deal in these parts than he was to the country at large.Mosster47 said:

Creepy Coug with the triple poast. Things are about to get real up in here.

No college football fan under the age of 30 outside of the PNW knows who Don James is. If you don't make it past the generation you coached in you weren't a legend, period. You have to do memorable shit to be remembered. A hand full of conference titles when USC was the only opponent and a paper trophy doesn't cut it.
