Greatest names UW has ever faced?

TTJ

In the ‘85 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma had a WR/KOR named Buster Rhymes. Guy was a baller.



Has Washington ever faced an opponent with a better name?

Zaharius Johnson- U of Arizona 2000

DerekJohnson

Napoleon McCallum - Navy

Doogles

Just because his name is seared into my memory from destroying the Huskies in my childhood.

Joel Makovicka - Nebraska

When I think of bruising farm boy fullback I think Makovicka. It's like he was created in a farm somewhere specifically to run the option and slapped on a name that fits perfectly.


Edit: because Shadenfreude.

From the 2001 Holiday Bowl: Major Applewhite and Quentin Jammer were both splendid names.

Thanks a lot TTJ for bringing back memories of burnt toast Chris Massey.

Recency bias, but I thought Chidobe Awuzie was one of the most badass names I've ever heard.

RaceBannon

Dick Butkus and Jim Grabowski

this is a fun thread but our own Sonny Sixkiller is possibly the greatest name of all in the bracket.

Spider Gaines is a strong contender for runner up.

did we ever play against Johnny Utah?

Leroy Lutu. Le-Lo Lang. Beno Bryant. Napoleon Kaufman. Ink Aleaga. Budda Baker. Sav'ell Smalls. Gaard Memmelaar. UW has had some solid names over the years.

I always thought Ted Bundy was a killer name.

Lawyer Milloy is pretty bad ass if we’re talking Dawgs.

Siupeli Malamala. One of the first Poly names I remember hearing as a youngster and one of the best to this day.

I always liked Toalei Mulitauaopele.
