All time Husky Stadium performance
Hard to think of a greater one I saw live. And he had a huge bruise on his hip. And should have kept Ty out of the Rose Bowl. Fuck ucla

Something about Halloween and Stanford at Husky Stadium. Rob Weller and the Wave
I used this game as exhibit 1 why Ty was a bad hire and his retarded DC
-
Dillons first half against SJSU was pretty epic. Probably not to the level of 300/200 vs a conference opponent with the Rose Bowl still on the table but impressive nonetheless.
-
I was so pissed that Dillon didn't get at least 3 quarters to set some all time record
-
I was there, man
Didn’t Nip rush for like 200yrds on SJSU also, I was there also -
I’m missed Tui’s EPIC game helping my mom prepare to sell her house on Cherry Street that weekend. I was sick listening to the game on the radio while regretting my decision to give my tickets away.
I was at the Nip game, something like 220 yards and for some reason I remember it being against Ohio Sate, my memory is shit probably. Missed Dillon’s first half while drinking in E1 being it was San Jose State, another f.up 🙈
-
Some great videos on the linked article. I never saw that game live and this is the most highlights I’ve seen.
-
Big Mike has some epic games
-
I dunno, I think the line I had to the mens room during the spring game was pretty epic.
-
Obama? TITTT
-
We? did get f’ed in the polls in 2000, especially since we? beat Miami and Miami beat FSU. Loved Tui … seemed each game he would have one bonehead play like the fumble in the Rose Bowl. Big Penix knocked Tui from my all tim offensive player ever. RIP#25
-
Also there.
And yes part of the Tui experience was at least 1 WTF play per game -
I was there too. One of my favorite all-tim Huskies. Hard guy to not like.

Does anyone remember that dipshit from the Dawgman board who was a Colorado Buff and (as I vaguely recall) claimed to have been a D1 player and good friend of Kaufman's? He called him "Nap" and argued with everyone over his actual nickname being "Nip" and didn't take too kindly to accusations, including by me, that he was full shit and that the Nap/Nip discrepancy was the tell.
Jesus. How is it I remember something so stupid from 25 years ago and can't remember some of my colleague's names?#oldguyproblems
-
You remember what's important.
-
Damone used to always do the Nap/Nip thing for fun every time Napoleon was mentioned here
-
Maurice Jones-Drew — 322 yards rushing

aaron corp USC 2009
-
Every time I hear/read Corp's name, I immediately imagine him throwing the ball at the feet of his receivers
-
A playoff would’ve been crazy that year. Oklahoma, Miami,UW, FSU, Beavs?/Ducks?, etc…
-
Quite honestly, I think the best matchup at the end of the year for all the marbles would have been Miami/Oregon State. I don't think anyone really wanted to play either of those teams in January.
-
This clip also reminds me of how good Jerramy Stevens was. He had some missed games for injury and off field stuff but from a physical standpoint I am not sure there's been another TE at uw that put that much pressure on a defense.
LB's and DB's look like dwarfs next to him and he had a great catch radius and could run. -
In that Rose Bowl Purdue had an all American tight end and Stevens outplayed him big time. No contest on ability
-
Fuck you guys. Now I'm thinking Arbys.
-
Was just recently talking about how Stevens was our best TE physically that we ever had - was like a bigger, more fluid, tougher ASJ. Makes sense he went first round after barely playing his last year of college.
2000 had some absolute freak on the field guys who were problems off the field in him Pharms, and Vontoure. Great part is we cleaned those types of guys out of the program but then most other schools probably didn't.
-
That would have been fascinating
-
UW was fortunate to get that Oregon State team early and in Husky Stadium. I would argue the two teams which played for the title might not even have been two of the three best teams in the country. Florida State getting in as a one-loss team who lost to one-loss Miami who lost to one-loss Washington is a prime example of why the format needed to expand.
-
Oklahoma's defense and secondary was nails that year. They were legit as the right stoops was still making a name for himself. FSU was good but no better than the 3 pac schools and Miami. Miami probably should have played Oklahoma that year.
-
There’s a case for 3 other teams to be there ahead of FSU. That was one of the weirder BCS slots I can remember.
-
I will say one thing UW had the other top schools that year didn't was a DUDE at QB. I feel like the Big 12, and Big 10 and SEC a bit at that point were still lost in the past in their passing games so a lot of those teams struggled when they had to a play a QB/offense that could throw the ball at all and their secondaries made hay locking down QBs that made Weinke, Heupepl, and Jason White types look elite.
-
In terms of "cleaning out", while true of Pharms, I think it's not quite fair to lay that label on Vontoure. AV had been formally diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. We? and the rest of social media throw that term around like an all-encompassing explanation for crazy behavior, but in real life people with actual BP are very sick and wind up with weeks/months-long stays in the hospital trying to get a wickedly complicated cocktail of psychotropic medications dialed in for them. I don't think AV ever had that kind of "all hands on deck" support and much was expected of him in the program because he was such a freak athlete. Winds up sleeping outside, loss of any semblance of structure he had, and then the way he died was super shitty.
I think the best way to remember Vontoure is to marvel at what he was able to give Husky nation in light of what he was dealing with. That we? got to have him for the time we did was nothing short of miraculous. BP people really don't function within normal societal bounds without a serious medical intervention and they almost always wind up killing themselves when coming down from a manic episode knowing they're about to dip down deep.
I haven't seen that many guys who are legitimately over 6 feet tall with that kind of change of direction ability and he was physical af because he was a thick 6'1", not like the typical lanky string bean tall corners. He would, IMO, have taken one of the corner spots on any Husky team ever and would have had a very nice pro career. Moved like 5'9", tackled like 6'1".
