Aahhh Tony Parrish. Back when safeties were allowed to behead dudes. Dude could high-point ball better than any UW safety...well maybe since his predecessor anyway and I still give nod too Parrish. In contrast, Buddah Baker couldn't

UW had a good run at safety late 80's -until Parrish...then #25 and Akbar in 2000. After that it's been unsafe on the back-end. Good to see Petersen revive the position

Buddah had skills no safety in UW had. He couldn't be blocked. Milloy hit harder, Parrish was better playing centerfield, but Buddah was the best at making plays and being disruptive. I hate to complain about the coaching because we all know they are great, but moving him to nickel should have been done sooner.

Holy shit youve gone off deep end

Says the guy who thinks Bruce Snyder and Lambright were good coaches.

#4 means we're in the playoff, right?

Yes !!!

Athlon's Pre-Season rankings count for 60% of the formula, so it's statistically impossible for UW to be kept out
