    Tim Tebow really admired Ty and wanted to come here but God chose Florida

    I heard Edgerin James wanted to be a Husky but his dad didn't like Rick N. Too white.
    Can confirm.

    All great players from other teams wanted to be Huskies. It's one of the lesser known Iron Laws.

    Geno Torretta wanted to be a Husky but DJ only wanted QB's with actual talent.

    Rick was perplexed when his acoustic renditions of John Denver's greatest hits didn't play well during the in-home.
    When in Imokolee, do as Imokoleeans do.

    Poor Gino has been unmercifully beat up around here.

    Like Race says, all he did was win.

    Pretty amazing to read that as a millennial doog.

    Outside of 2014 (remember when they needed Pete to gift them that game) they are bottom of FBS. Basically 0-12 but COVID season bailed them out.

    Jason Scheer and their neck beard Tucson trailer trash fans wanting an equal share to UW/UO or else they'll leave for the big 12...fucking don't let the door hit your ass on the way out...

    I once asked Don James if he ever considered going to another school. He said he'd probably have gone to Ohio State if offered.

    What Ohio kid wouldn't? Paul Brown was an idol of James

    I didn't know that part about Paul Brown.

    Also interesting that James turned down the Seahawks' interest

    The story at the time was that Husky fans told Nordstrom they would cut up their credit cards if the Hawks hired James

    And James got a fat raise and the assistants got the car dealer special

    I think James did turn them down. And other NFL teams

    The rest of the story is that is when Nordstrom decided to sell the team so they could keep selling shoes

    I would have cut up my credit cards to keep James before I would have fired James

    James is from the cradle of coaches. Of course he did.
