The hatred was great. The fact that it was all or nothing made it greater

If they play today the loser could still make the playoffs

And look ... here I am more than 30 years later bitching about the HORRIFIC Cleveland Gary non-fumble fumble call and arguing (rightly) that Miami was better than Irish in the year of its sole national title since the Cascades were pushed up by the plate. BCS and playoffs takes that away.

1984 Washington/BYU
1988 Miami/Notre Dame
1991 Washington/Miami
1992 Colorado/Georgia Tech

A shitty offense, a "fumble", and a couple split titles. Those equal out to a lifetime of debate that will never end. Who won the title again last year?

Colorado/GT was 1990

And in that year Miami and Washington were playing better football than anyone at the end of the season … arguably. I recall neither GT nor Buff was an overwhelming champion.

Again, more fun that way.

USC has been planning this.

1990 UW failed at first and goal to score the game winner at Colorado

Still had they beat Ucla......

Either Bailey or Gaspard dropped the winning TD in the end zone

It was a fade route to one of them and I remember thinking, “why a corner fade to a short receiver?”

That was the play that caused me to pop off walking out of class with a buddy only to realize Brunnel had been walking by us and heard the whole rant. He looked at me and kept walking.

If it had been Hobert I might have gotten my ass kicked. If Jason Shelley had been around I definitely would have, but he was a couple of years away.

I know I know I’ve told you guys this story.

Donald Jones might have killed you. No El Creepo. A nation weeps.

I had him in a Drama 101 quiz section. We had to do the trust falling game. Donald Jones was thick. We were worried.

Yeah dropping Jones is probably the start of a very bad day.

And he barely spoke. So, there was no indication of friendly feelings. Anything seemed possible.
