    I thought it was because Winslow wanted to go to Miami

    I remember all the noise at the time because the other thing Rick did was make us a recruiting school for a while just as the internet was taking off. Perfect storm. Followed the Reggie Williams recruitment like he was my son

    The old guard always hated Rick because they loved Lambo and Rick didn't BLEED purple. But the team did appear to get worse the better they recruited.

    Deja VU?

    Last coach to win a rose bowl and pop off. Tui gets the 4th down vs Oregon. Simple fact.
    Except when he didn't and lost 23-16

    And lost in 97 too. 28-31
    Was it at home in 2000? That’s what I thought. Tui gets the 4th down. Big Dick Option Runner.
    I was at Autzen that day. Tui played like shit

    But as was the case in 2000 he came back late, had the ball with a chance to get to OT, and failed. The other 10 games he didn't fail

    OK Boomer!

    I was there too. The Stanford game though...whoa. Big Dick gunslinger.

    If I’m being one hundret with y’all, 2000 is the last season I had fun following Husky football. Went to all 13 games. What a year.
    How was 2016 not fun?

    I liked 2000 better too because I don’t enjoy college football altogether as much as I did back then. But winning the conference and going to the playoff was fun. It was something new that nobody had experienced because we had sucked for a long time before that.
    We lost 2 games.... didn't win a bowl or pop off. It didn’t feel the same as 2000. 2000 was
    Speshial. I didnt go to the peach bowl. Knew we’d get boat raced. 2016 had lots of wins, but felt like pretenders on the national stage. 2000 was wild.

    We also put 55 on the cuog that year and forced their RB to quit at halftime and their DE to transfer to UW.

    I was drinking mushroom tea and popping off.

    2000 WAS spechul!!!

    Yeah but 2000 was a pale imitation of 1991

    I did love 2000 and 2016 though

    Imagine being a top tier program and having more than 3 years out of 30 that were fun.
