Not the greatest quality, but he was a beast! Great song for a highlight video too. Most of the ones nowadays are shit. Those uniforms are fucking hideous though. Some of you shit on our current uniforms, but every single one we wear now are better than purple jerseys, mustard yellow pants, and purple helmets.

    I agree the purple helmets were the worst. I remember seeing the 2 options of purple grape helmets in the Seattle Times paper before Gore invented the Internet. Anything other than the Gold helmet or the gold chrome helmet need to DIAFF ASAP.

    The white ones are almost as bad as the purple one's. Hopefully Peterman isn't as enamored with the sizzle.

    The mustard yellow pants are worse than the purple helmets imo.

    I remember a radio broadcast interviewing Texas or Colorado defensive players (can't recall the year) prior to the bowl and them saying that being Bjg 12 team they saw running backs like him every week and did not need any special plan to stop him. We lost the game but I remember him using their front 7 as a door mat the first quarter and only letting up when we started throwing more in the second half. He was fun to watch.

    Disagree, but I do hate those pants

    I don't get the hate for the white helmets. They looked good with the white pants and purple jerseys, but I'm only ok with that being a once a year thing. I don't like the black helmets cuz you can't really see the W, but those purple ones are the all-time worst. I'm ok with white once a year, but the rest of the time it needs too be the standard gold or the metallic gold, which is fucking sweet.

    White Helmets are awful. Case Fucking Closed.

    The chrome helmets are fucking nice.

    Agreed. I know I'm in the minority but I kind of like the blicks.

    ^ Yeah I noticed that. My favorite was probably the OSU one where he shoves a guy to the ground 20 yards downfield and then scores at the pylon. What a beast. Thanks for sharing.

    At least 81% of college football players would give a nut to have that highlight reel for their career. Dillon only needed one year. Dude was a savage.

    man among boys. Complete beast. Dominated at every level of football including the NFL like maybe no other UW player other than Moon can say they did.

    Only Doogs think Nip was better. Nip was great, but Dillon was good enough to get a Lambo team past 7 wins, which was a fucking miracle.

    He hit the hole like a fucking freight train (yeah, yeah TWSS).

    They broke the mold after Dillon - don't care what Tui says.

    This video alone and the 1998 NFL draft list should really tell anyone who ever utters that lambright would have won a Rose Bowl with the 2000 team to shut the fuck up. Jeezus Jones the 95,96,97 teams shouldn't have lost more than 3 or 4 games total. Lambright was a retard who couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. (but he does know how to treat his women. Too soon?) Hell, Sark could have won 8 games with that talent.

    Lambright was the first 7 win Steve, sans Corey Dillon.
