Every time UW plays Stanford, I remember the 14 times Stanford easily converted on 3rd down and 34 over the last 5 yearsGrandpaSankey said: -

What a fucking decade+ of great college RBs
only ended the streak with Barry Sanders 2.0 Salvon Ahmed who the TBS fucktards were clambering to get carries over Gaskin's JR and Sr seasons. -
Great Run

Rankin signed with the Washington Huskies in February 2003 and after redshirting during the 2003 season, he played in eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2004, totaling 35 yards on nine carries.
Over the next three seasons, Rankin would carry the ball 479 times for 2,445 and 11 touchdowns including 1,294 yards and six touchdowns as a senior in 2007. His senior season was the first time in 10 years that a Washington tailback was able to break 1,000 yards.
Rankin still ranks 10th all-time in Washington program history with 2,480 yards rushing.
Nothing spectacular and the teams sucked ass. -
He ran like crazy on some of the worst Tyrone Willingham UW teams of all time... Just look at the decade of UW RBs before Rankin to see what actual doing nothing looks like. Rankin is clearly head and shoulders above the decade of RBs before him and he is clearly head and shoulders above anyone outside of Gaskin, Sankey, and Polk who has come since.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

He is UW top 10 in career rushing and single game rushing and was top 10 single season before Gaskin came along and put his name up 3 times.
Rankin did it with Tyrone Willingham as HC, Jack Lockner as freshman QB, and an OL with Juan Garcia, Jordan White-Frisbee, Morgan Rosborough, and FUCKING Ben Ossai as starters on a 4-9 team.
Rankin was very good on a very bad team. -
He had his WTF? moments, but had a crazy legged gait and could make amazing cuts in traffic. Then he had breakaway speed to go with it. He was also a dangerous return man but was rarely used for it.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

If Rankin had a little more of the toughness that Gaskin and Sankey had, and played for someone besides Willingham, he'd probably be remembered almost as fondly. He had similar talent. -
Rankin always looked like he would snap in half when he got hit. Good player, but I don’t think of him as anything close to one of the best RBs in Husky history.

@backthepack
Gaskin has 4 carries for 9.
Guy is still collecting an NFL check 3 years in. Hard to argue leaving early. -
What I remember from that game was that Shaq Thompson was balling.

Hard to argue leaving early because he wasn't going to get better. He has no vision, and you can't coach that.Alexis said:

Nobody ever thought Gaskin was going to be a pro bowler or anything. But I'd take one of him over 10 Ahmeds any day. -
And an incredible athlete who had a decent pro career if I'm not mistaken. Spent time with the Raiduhs.Houhusky said:

Rankin's problem is he was really bad early in his career and developed a rep as a dancer. He was definitely good as a senior and I think HH is right that he could have been better with a better team (though he definitely benefited from Locker bringing the zone read threat).TheHB said:Rankin always looked like he would snap in half when he got hit. Good player, but I don’t think of him as anything close to one of the best RBs in Husky history.
I wouldn't count Rankin 2006 as part of any great UW RB run. I don't object to Rankin 2007 being part of it.
Had Rankin had eligibility left in 08 or Polk not gotten hurt week 1 we've probably never heard of @Owen12. -

Of course. MMFG is one of my all tim favorite DWAGs. I’m just saying Ahmed made the right choice. He’s made over a million dollars doing what he went to college for in 3 years. Hell. I haven’t made a million dollars with what I went to college for in over 30.creepycoug said:

That was all I was saying. -
I know it's cliche af to say, but Rankin was actually one of those rare combinations of size and speed. As I vaguely recall now, his speed tended to be of the straight line variety and he didn't have a lot of shake n' bake. But memories fade, especially of individual players of that era.dnc said:

We remember the Manning boys for the Super Bowls more than Archie who was stuck on the Aints.
And even with say 8 or 9 win talent, I'd put guys like Sankey above Rankin -
Stanley was definitely a much better RB. Luckily he didn’t inherit @GrandpaSankey’s vision.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
