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

If you could change one loss from UW football history into a win?

    The omission of 2016 Bama speaks volumes.

    Speaks volumes about your inability to grasp the jist of the thread.

    I'll help a little. 1990 UCLA is the most mentioned game here. 1984 USC is pretty prominent too. What about those losses is different than the one you mentioned? The quality of the opponent (hint: UW was better)? The fact that UW went on to win the games following those losses (hint: there's no reason to assume or even believe UW would have beaten Clemson after Alabama)?

    That help? Hindsight tells us that if UW beats SC in 1984 and the final #1 ranking was in the bag. We don't even need hindsight for 1990. We knew the day that it happened that the NC was pissed away. Somehow sneak past Alabama last season and a better team would have been waiting.
    tl;dr edit: A voted natty is > playing in an actual championship game with the possibility of earning the trophy on the field.
    Go undefeated then pop off

    If you were alive then and didn't say 1990 UCLA you should be killed by Lambright's bare hands.

    That was a fucking brutal loss. The USC '84 game was bad, but at the time it wasn't abundantly clear it was costing us a Natty.

    UCLA 1990 was the worst feeling I've ever had as a sports fan.

    Ugh. I think I've posted this, but after that game eleven year old me cried, went to my room and kicked a hole in my bedroom wall. I then went and tried to gain perspective by walking around in circles in the back of my parents lot for a few hours trying to avoid the ass whooping I was set to take. I was just a kid and I CARED!
    I was 9 and my parents dads had other plans that day so I didn't get to see the gayme. I was highly overconfident and was sure we? had them. We swung by Al's Auto Parts and the game was on on the radio there and I heard Brown rip off the 88 yarder. I was nervous the next two hours until I got home and turned on Rondeau's postgayme show. 9 year old annoyingly talkative dnc was speechless.

    Fuck Brad Deluiso.

    2002 Michigan. Mich converts a 4th down late on an obvious dropped ball which allowed 12 men on the field. UW wins that game, they don't tank as bad later in the year, probably end up with 9 wins and it's tougher to fire Neuheisel just because High millen wanted him gone 3 weeks before the season. Wait until after the 2003 season and you don't get stuck with Manboobs. And then no ty.

    This is a really, really, really good alternate option.

    I was in a sports bar full of Michigan fans in Fort Collins. I celebrated the victory after the missed third down pass.

    That place went nuts when the FG went through.

    James Fucking Sims.

    Given your explanation of events, this truly might have been the most costly loss in school history.

    FUCK

    FUCK is right. I went to that game. It FUCKING SUCKED ASS.

    That piece of shit kicker had missed like 2 FGs on the day too.... ugh that 12 men on the field. FUCK FUCK FUCK

    And yeah it is such an alternate reality... I thought Neu was done after that game and it was the beginning of the end.
