Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
When was the last time USC and Washington both entered the season in the top 10?
With USC wrapping up the Off Season Natty on National LOI day, I was pondering when was the last time UW and SC were both pre-season top 10 squads. After opening up the history books, I learned that the answer in 1982 when UW started the season ranked #2 and USC was #10, and due to scheduling that year, the two teams never actually played each other.
The last time both teams were pre-season top 10 and actually played each other was 1972 (UW started at #9 and USC #8) with Sonny Sixkiller's squad getting plungered in the Coliseum.
So, 2017 is certainly going to be special in terms of a level of pre-season hype for both programs that most of us - excepting
@RaceBannon and perhaps a few other geezers here - have never witnessed.
Doog the fuck on...

axe me how many times Miami and Free Shoes were in the top 5 when playing each other. this is basically fucking embarrassing for doogs smart enough to understand it and therefore comprehend the embarrassment.
1972? Jesus. That really does put a nail in the coffin of that particular doogism and is going into the creep's rotation. you made a mistake pointing this out to me. I hope you understand that.
the point is, for this idea that W is some kind of strong #2 to USC's undisputed #1 in the West, (a super fucking embarrassing thing in and of itself to brag about even at the doog level of interpretation), you'd think that at some fucking point between now and 19 SEVENTY fucking two the two progrums would've found themselves in the top 10. It's not that hard to be in the top fucking 10 at least for a fucking week.
Do you basically read anything here? Or do you just poast?
I'd argue that it is your reading comprehension skills that should be called into question. Open up a fucking thesaurus for the word "special" and look at the synonyms. Something that is unique, extraordinary, unusual, because it hasn't happened very often in history - i.e., big pre-season hype for both teams - is by definition "special". That my posting of some random trivia about the rarity of pre-season hype for both teams could be used as evidence in your arguments against certain doog claims is irrelevant as to whether or not something is special or rare.
Trump won, learn fucking English.
Still.
Long time.
NOGAF about UM
Not in the conversation.
Glory days.
7-11
Fuck off.
So, back to my poont, which is so much more salient than your stupid speshul poont, and that's to this Washington strong = Pac 12 strong nonsense:
Since 1936, Washington has finished the season in the top 10, in at least one pole, a grand total of ....................12 times. Yes, in 81 fucking years, since the Boys in the Boat story actually happened, 12 top 10 finishes.
So, now that I look at it, you were completely fucking right all along. Any scenario, ANY, in which Washington finds itself in the top 10 of anything, really is really really really fucking speshul.
Carry on doughnut. You're actually starting to make some sense.
