    Oregon sucked at football for 100 years. The vast majority of that was before any of us were born so who gives a fuck? Pretty sure that’s been established. What’s that got to do with Peterson winning anything now?

    You ask a great question though, had anyone on this board ever made that claim about any of it being easy. We all know “it’s hard”

    That said, you have to win two games against top 4 teams to win it now instead of waiting for the assistant athletic directors and USA Today columnists to vote based on highlights from ESPN or reading the newspaper game write ups in 1958.

    You’re getting pretty far off track now. Try sticking to the subject.
    "You have to beat two top 4 teams now to win it" isn't an argument that it used to be easier?

    Here's reality for you. There is only one best team every year out of all the teams. So the odds of being the best are still about the same as they always were before and after the BCS and playoff era. And guess how many times Washington has been the best team in the country? At least 3. Oregon? 0. Ouch.

    And for fucks sake we are on page 6 of a thread in the Duck board on a Husky website. I'll post whatever the fuck I want.

    “At least 3”

    “There’s only one champion”

    And I thought Quooks were the ones who hated “facts”

    Never disappointed by the doog army.

    the odds of Nebraska and Eric Crouch beating Miami were slightly worse than Oregon doing it, since Oregon at least had the threat of the forward pass.

    I've said it for years: best thing that could have happened to Oregon was NOT being in that Rose Bowl. Belotti knew it too. His smirk notwithstanding, there was nothing to lose with playing the "hold me back" card at the Rose Bowel, because it wasn't like it was going to change anything. That way, Oregon had a nice Fiesta Bowel win and could play the "woulda coulda shoulda" card and avoid having to actually face one of the most deep, talented, balanced and weakness-free cfb teams of the modern era.
    Not saying Oregon would have won, but they struggled mightily against BC and won a nail biter against VT. The Big East was absolute shit back then also.

    I understand the over hyped memories of that team because of the number of players that had NFL success, but they aren't the 95 Nebraska that people make them out to be. That Huskers team would have raped, then murdered, then went back to repeatedly rape the corpse of said Miami team for months. Which was a ritual practiced by UW's most famous alumnus.

    Other than that one team everyone has had nail biters, struggles, and close losses that have won an NC.

    They beat a 3-8 WSU team 35-21 at home. They were mortal enough. They played five teams that finshed in the top 25, and had sloppy and unfocused games on the road against two of them
    that finished 8-4. Call the BE shit all you want, playing in Blacksburg, then and now, is never a walk. A guy with your coaching acumen should know that. The 91 Huskies played down to a 3-8 SC team. Shit happens.

    However it would have gone down, nobody would have murdered that Miami team. Not as long as Vilma, Wilfork, McDougle and Reed were on the field. Moreover, Nebraska's history with teams that can run AND pass isn't pretty. Miami could do both very well, had HOFamers on the bench for depth, and could punch back hard on D, which was way too fast for anyone to just string shit outside out of the triple option, an offense for which Setting up the perimeter was a big priority. That's never been a recipe for success against an aggressive fast Miami D.

    When that team was focused, which they had no problem doing when needed, it was lethal.

    Nobody knows how these things would go down. Your predication seems stupid. No offense.

    Bellotti won a ten team conference 1.3 times in 14 years.

    Petersen has won a 12 team conference once in 4 years.

    Bellotti finished in the top 5 of the rankings once in 14 years.

    Petersen has finished in the top 5 of the rankings once in 4 years.

    So far Petersen has failed to surpass Bellotti's accomplishments. There's no reason to think he ever will.

    Irving Fryar was the MVP of the 1st Cane Championship. He was an ugly fuck too. Pretty sure that ball was afraid of those gangly hands. However the Canes endeavored to persevere to that 1st Natty. To say they didn’t win it on the field is foolish. Just as 81% or better of the Nattys that were won on the field before the CFP.


    Unfortunately things went from bad to worse for the poor Fryar. Got caught up in that whole cocaine culture in New England. Imagine the irony there... right?

    He did recover though and had like a 8-9 year NFL career. I know because I used to play fantasy football in the early 90s and I picked him up as a FA. I haven’t played fantasy since. Imagine Fantasy Football without no inter web. I won the league 2 outta 3 years. Basic bitch but FIRST! to the Sports Page Monday morn to pick up studs and then dump chumps. Great era of the league. Somehow won one of them with Stan fucking Humphries after Randall broke his leg week1. Real grinder I was.

    This game is the reason why I always yawn a little when people go all ape shit about great Nebraska teams. I'm sure @Mosster47 knows this given the levels at which he has coached, but 1995 may not necessarily be the most dominant season they've turned in. Consider that 83 Husker team and these scores: 44-6; 56-20; 84-13; 42-10; 63-7; 14-10; 34-13; 69-19; 51-25; 72-29; 67-13; 28-21. They killed pretty much everybody, and Mike Rosier ran for embarrassing yards. The Miami team they ran into had only a handful of legit NFL guys (Kosar, Kevin Fagan, Eddie Brown, and Alonzo Highsmith) and a bunch of other guys you've not heard of. The 81 and 82 teams were actually more talented, in that they also had Jim Kelly, Fred Marion, Ronnie Lippett and some other dudes who had nice NFL careers.

    Miami was never behind, and forced this remarkably dominant team into fumbleroosky trickeration efforts to stay with them.

    Miami ran the ball on them for 1 buck 50 or so, and Kosar passed for over 300. Boom. Nebraska could not handle pro style passing teams, and Kosar was always a ridiculously accurate passer - college and pro. Coupled with a spirited effort on defense, and you got what you got.

    The 95 team may or may not have been better than the 83 team - beating the crap out of soft af no defense "fun and gun" Florida doesn't do it for me - but whatever difference there was between 83 and 95 Nebraska pales by comparison to the talent difference between 83 Miami and 01 Miami.
