Not too shabby. Hoffmann's physique is a bit off. But all of these are easily recognizable

what’s a podcast?

People forget Dillon wasn't the starting tailback, that was Rashaan Shehee, who never really had a full season. That said by the end of the ASU game where Dillon and Huard came in to get the lead before a last second kick, sparked a memorable season. I'm trying to recall how we got boat raced by Notre Dame so badly. They would lose to Air Force the following week.
I don't think Bishop Sankey gets enough credit from dawg fans. If he stays a fourth year he possibly has the all time yards record, in virtually just three years as the focal point. I also think with a better line say of the Petersen years, he possibly gets close to 2000 for a season. All hypothetical.

What exactly is a SpoonieLuv?

Sankey is great. I think he gets lost in the shuffle because the program has a lot of really good RBs. Greg Lewis won the Doak Walker and never gets mentioned. Sankey I think gets passed over for playing on a bunch of forgettable Sark teams. It's a good point that had he played a fourth year like Gaskin and Kaufman he has more records. I don't think being really bad in the NFL helped his cause.

Watched him alot in high school. It was like a man playing with toddlers.
-
Greg makes up for it by being a blowhard about the 90 season on the Honks every week

I wanted to bring up Sankey but I didn't, and don't feel like listening to the pod so I didn't think I should have an opinion.
My opinion is that Sankey was as good as any RB ever at UW. He could grind for yards but could also get outside and outrun anyone on the field. We're not supposed to GAF about what they do as pros. The guy was good enough to put up monster numbers with horrible OLs, win the underwear Olympics, and get picked in the first round. He had an epic career.
-
Did Sankey just get the bag and quit? He had 700 yards as a rookie in all yards from scrimmage, gets barely any yards the following year then, practice squad, injury CFL and poof, gone. Maybe its a Tennessee thing with form dwags?
-
This rightfully turned into a Sankey appreciation thread. Check out this offensive line he went for nearly 1,900 and 20 TDs with
Forgot he was the first RB taken in his draft. I think that was at the all time peak of the draft not valuing RBs.
-
ok, Dillon was in a class of his own, then Napoleon, then Greg Lewis ~ all 3 far better players than the more current guys like Gaskin, Sankey etc. (great players but not in the same league as these other guys.)
-
Gaskin was easily better than Greg Lewis, who was tremendous
-
Well, we can agree to disagree… i do respect your opinion of course…
-
great listen
I find myself saying “you foolish bastard” quite often thanks for this exact Pup diatribe -
peak Dillon was the best running back ever at Washington. Case closed
-
It happened so fast it’s like a legend in my mind. He wasn’t a starter for the first few games. He left before ever taking a single final. And oh by the way…broke the single season PAC 10 touchdown record in those 8-ish games as a starter.
It reminds me of the Bo Jackson 30 for 30 that treated him like a Tall Tale character. Like…did that really even happen???
