Yeah, that was a Chest thing. At least in your poast, it's something to rank champions by and not have a hypothetical about a team like Chest even though I think he was right.RaceBannon said:

Is SRS Chest's deal? -
I'll bet your friend also talks about the standing ovation at Lincoln a lot too. The only time they've ever done that for an opposing team. Ever.huskyhooligan said:Best friend from high school contends the loudest the Orange Bowl has ever been was in 2001 for the Washington game.
Your friend never attended a Notre Dame or Florida State game. Apparently. -
Yep. Pretty much. That was an underrated UW defense and a winner at QB ... but still. Butch should have had them ready. He had more than enough firepower to come up here and win. Easily. But, my uncle has my aunt's balls.RaceBannon said:The bigger fuck up for the Canes was the Ohio State loss in the Fiesta Bowl. Miami always loses the Fiesta Bowl
With a back to back natty that three year run is the best ever regardless of the loss to UW. UW should NOT have kept Miami out of the title game that year
Anyway one title in a three year run keeps them under valued as a dynasty -
Agreed with all but 2005. I was not surprised. SC D that year was rather human. Offense was lights out but not an all time great team IMO.Doogles said:

USC basically had a 3-Pete wiped off the board too. 2003 (screwed by BCS but still voted #1 AP), 2004(vacated but won DGAF), 2005 (CHOKED the big one in the greatest college game I've seen). -
An even more painful loss than the 02 version. Entirely outclassed Penn State but nobody overcomes 5 picks. The bitch of it was: no pressure. He just threw 5 super really shitty passes. All of them in bad spots. And with a running game that could do whatever it wanted. That one is on Jimmy as much as anyone. What a gift for the Pedos.YellowSnow said:

They still choked the big game. Reggie Bush deciding to play Rugby and fumbling instead of settling for 1st and Goal inside the five. Going for it on 4th and 1 with Bush inexplicably on the sidelines.creepycoug said:

Vince young balled out and earned the win, but SC made that miracle a possibility with arrogant and disorganized play.
Game of inches, what should very easily be known as a 3-pete isn't even recognized as a single title in the South. -
What if Washington had beat Oregon that year?
As it stands, we beat 3 BCS teams in 2000: Miami, Oregon State, & Purdue, and two of those teams won their BCS bowls -- the only one that lost was the one that lost to us.
I don't think many teams have done that... maybe one or two? -
I think the hype on the 2000 Miami team is based on the fact that (1) they were fucking loaded, (2) they got better and better as the season wore on and were arguably the most dangerous team in the country at the end of the year, (3) it portended what would become an all-time team the next year and (4) the national championship was a dud and the winner an unspectacular team. Miami would have rolled Oklahoma and probably any other team they could have played. Oregon State had a very good team that year but got some serious hype for beating a Notre Dame team that most people thought slid into a BCS bowl.Baphomet said:What if Washington had beat Oregon that year?

Nuff said on that. -
Yeah I get that, but if they can play "what if" why can't we? We would have been undefeated.creepycoug said:

And as I wrote, I don't think more than 2 teams have achieved what UW achieved that season.
