    How can Alonso be overrated? He's had arguably the best pro career of any Duck on that Rose Bowl team.

    I can think of several Ducks more overrated than that guy.

    I picked Ross because he was the reason for the best offense and season that Pete had here. I know Ross only did it one year but what a year. Any defense had to account for him over the top and before he punked out or got hurt Browning loved to go there. The other receivers and the run game benefited.

    We haven't replaced that deep threat so far and it showed

    I think there's a good argument that John Ross 2016 was the most valuable season any Husky has put up since Tui 2000, and perhaps Empterman 1991.
    Can you even imagine a 3 year starter (or even 4) Tui from 20(15)16- 18? His legs alone have beaten Stanford, ASU, Cal and Oregon in 2017- 18 and probably won a NY6. Tui was the greatest big dick, dual threat we've ever had in my life time.
    Brittle Brock got hurt against Nebraska in 97 and Lambo had nothing other than true frosh Tui. The 4 game rule would have been awesome

    Lambo never quite figured out how to use him and did not red shirt hi in 98. Rick didn't know how to use him either but was smart enough to listen to Tui ad Coniff

    The what if at the time was what if Tui had eligibility in 2001? History could have changed

    Tui in 2016 would have run that Bama defense ragged and the triple option deep pass to Ross would have been a staple
    Tui would have moral victoried our way to a 10 point loss to @creepycoug had it not been for Bin Laden. Thank god we had @Swaye to even the score.
    Washington was not getting out of the Orange Bowl with less than a 40. Tui wasn't going to help you deal with Portis, Johnson and Shockey, and he wasn't going to block Vince Wilfork or run by or around Jonathan Vilma and DJ Williams. Not sure I like his chances throwing to Todd Elstrom and Reggie Williams with Ed Reed lurking around. Tui was a player but Reed would have been a nightmare for him since he wasn't known as being a great reader of defenses. Pickett was a better pure passer anyway and he had a rough night.

    I've always thought that Bin Laden ruined the Mariners magical season as well

    Broke the momentum then facing New York in the aftermath of them coming together was too much for the local 9

    Bin Laden hated Seattle

    Any Duck fan that has another name other than Justin Herbert in the overrated category is just plain wrong.

    Miami lost a lot of big games but as Bobby Bowden once said you have to win a lot of little ones to get there

    Penn State
    Notre Dame
    Alabama
    UW
    Ohio State

    All cost them natties among others

    It's truly remarkable. They won 5 NTs in 19 years. It very easily could have been 8 or 9. Although, Tom Osborne could have just gone for the tie and cut the snake's head off before things got outta hand.

    Tui was 1 and 0 against the Canes
    Different team. You know it.

    Couldn't resist could you?

    Not that different. Had they run out of the gate they win in Seattle

    He cost the Canes a natty.
    I wonder how much melancholia @creepycoug experiences knowing that Canes squad went 1/3 on Natties. USC went 2/3.


    Well, you have to be in 3 to lose 2.

    Only one of them really bothers me: 86. That Miami team was a loaded monster and pure bad ass. Losing to that PSU team, who they thoroughly outplayed, was miserable.

    The '02 game against Ohio State wasn't as painful, even though more controversial. Ohio State played well that night and I can't begrudge them the win, which would be a total DAWG thing to do.

    This will surprise you, but the '02 PI call (which was bullshit) isn't the thing that bothers me most. It was the '88 team that lost on the road to slobbering Lou Holtz. Fist, I hate those guys, and I hate him. I don't even find him amusing. He's a fucking moron. The Cleveland Gary non-fumble called fumble was brutal. The wef even apologized for it later on, only because it was so blatantly retarded. The Irish brought in a shit ton of home cooking that day, but that call was brutal. Notre Dame played well, but that game was decided on that call, and thus as was the season, which would have been another natty by way of beating the Nebraska Classy Huskers in the O Bowl.

    No, not that different, but different. By 2001 they knew what they had in Portis, and had McGahee and Gore coming off the bench. In 2001, Andre Johnson wasn't a freshman anymore, and having him running routes changed things, even though they missed Santana Moss and Reggie Wayne. Johnson was different. He overwhelmed teams.

    But it was defensively where Miami was better, which is hard to imagine considering that Dan Morgan was on the 2000 team but not the 2001 team. The 2001 D was more dominant. You had the emergence of Vilma, Williams, Wilfork and Reed, all of whom were severe game changers for the Canes. Most importantly, Dorsey was no longer Dorothy (lolz term from doogman.com) in 2001; he was a leader and a gamer. He wouldn't arrive on stage as the man until that tilt in the Orange Bowl against Florida State later that season.

    Well, Osbourne wasn't a pfag.

    Canes have also won a ton of big games.

    As bowels go, I'd have to look it up, but I'm not sure there are many teams that have won a Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton in the modern era. The Fiesta eludes them, but they'll get it eventually.
