I will never be denigrate or relitigate 1991 or any other LEGITIMATE voted champion. That’s how we did it. If you don’t respect and love the game, it’s history and it’s champions I don’t know why you’re here. It’s the same reason I laugh about 1966.
Also UW beat *Michigan to win it in 91. I was there.

Oregon State too

By the end of the year, a lot of people were making the case. Certainly, nobody wanted to play them. They probably had the best wins that year, beating No. 1 FSU who ended 11-2 and No. 2 Va Tech who ended 11-1. Without looking, it's not often you get a shot at #1 and #2 during the season. It was the 2001 team, only with Dan Morgan and Santana Moss. They beat up a 2 loss Florida team in the Sugar in a game with a score as misleading as they come. Miami was Tuff in those days.
I agree with multiple perspectives here. Washington recovers quickly when they recover. Oregon has been more consistent, and you can't write off the Chip era any more than you can write off the Peterman era. Both programs got super lucky with those hires, but then again I am of the opinion that you always get lucky when you get a good one because they are so hard to find and predict.
Some Washington fans have had a harder time than others accepting that Oregon is not some gimmicky flash-in-the-pan program and has established itself as a national power. Some Oregon fans forget their history, or at least choose to. What are you gonna do? As Race said the other day, there are always those fans whose can always find some rationalization for their rivals doing well and for your favorite team doing poorly. Schedules, buying players, class, higher ceiling, higher floor, doing it the right way, better fans, worse fans, piss bottles, wheel chairs, porking lots, Nike, Microsoft, boating, blue bloods, history, we're not trying, you're trying too hard, stadiums, Keith Jackson, standing ovations, etc. etc. etc.
My therapist told me long ago you can't change people.

blaming vanilla here

Not true. 2000 Miami is the team that UW beat and had a stronger case for being in the Natty game than Florida State (who they beat).
2001 Miami, of course, corn holed UW (thanks a lot Bin Laden) on their way to the Natty.

Yes I fucked up and blamed vanilla. Your quoting of me isn’t helping.

2009 was the last year I really thought Oregon was not legit, gimmick school. Chippy lost to Pete and Buck.
Whilst watching the 2010 Natty Game I had made my peace with Oregon getting their title only to be saved by Cam.
I don't see a therapist, but might need one if Lanning gets his Natty….lulz.

Completely agree. But you got then early and you weren't playing in a game to determine who was NC. Hell we beat your ass that year and you know we suck.

Washington beat a few really good teams in 2000.
they also lost to Oregonhth
