Shut the fuck up.

A home game bowl game as a 10 point favorite against the #11 Huskers team that Warshington stomped in Lincoln. NOC.

Perhaps unintentionally, you left out the part where Devaney had a preexisting beef with Don James. Coach James said he believed that that beef fueled Devaney's ridiculous comment.
In my opinion, '91 Washington would have beaten '91 Hurricanes 9 out of 10 times.

Had the same thought. I believe Nebraska was top 5 when we went into Lincoln and we chewed through their hymen and spit it out during the 3rd and 4th quarter. That was a glorious day! UW took their soul that day and a road win in Lincoln where they never lost at home back in the day vs the Orange Bowl vs Miami in Miami. 22-0 yawn, who gives a fuck. We? went on our own 20 plus run after getting adjusted after the first quarter and completely dominated that team. Back the Nebraska at home was similar to Miami at home in the Orange Bowl where we ended that streak too. I was at my grandmother’s house in Leshi helping her in the morning and watched the game at her house. She had to be in her late 80s’ish and I still remember she became a little scared when I was going ape shit during a couple amazing runs by Jay Barry or Beno Bryant. Thankfully grandma didn’t have a heart attack. Absolutely epic road win! Early 90s was peak Washington football. I was too young to enjoy the 61 Rose Bowl:/

A few thoughts about these ostensibly biased and, in some cases, inaccurate comments:
I didn't bring up UW's win against Nebraska; you guys did. Two things can be true at the same time.Nebraska was #9 at the time of its game with UW, not #4. They were #11 at the time they played Miami.
Miami playing the Big 8 champ in the Orange Bowl is no different than USC or UCLA playing in the Rose Bowl. Not really a home field advantage in the normal sense, and I think you all know that.
Even in an extremely top heavy conference, Nebraska dropped games at home routinely. To wit, they were undefeated at home a mere 6 times in the fifteen years before playing Washington:
1976, lost at home to Missouri and Oklahoma; 1977, lost at home to Iowa State; 1978, lost at home to Missouri; 1980, lost at home to Florida State; 1981, lost at home to Penn State; 1984, lost at home to Oklahoma; 1985, lost at home to Florida State; 1986, lost at home to Oklahoma; 1987, lost at home to Oklahoma; 1990, lost at home to Colorado.
Can't have it both ways: Nebraska either mattered or it didn't. Husky fans tend to talk out of both sides of their mouths about this. First time in 221 games, over 18 years, that Nebraska was shut out. Who cares? Really? Be serious.

Let me know when Oregon does something that warrants a spot in these kinds of conversations.
Until then, you're a nose picker on the wrong site and nobody likes you.

Triple Gold Post:
As unintentional as Yella omitting mention of SI trying to kill Miami football on its front cover during a era when programs like Oklahoma were glorified state penitentiaries.
-
Michigan was better than Nebraska that year and UW beat the brakes off of both teams. That Michigan team beat four ranked opponents, Nebraska only two (low-scoring, at that).

Nice try on the Orange Bowl not being a home advantage. 1) Miami had the exact same routine for their home games as well as January 1st. 2) Familiarity of the stadium, conditions and sleeping in the same hotel. Same bus rides. Yah - image trying to argue that Husky Stadium wouldn’t be an advantage in a playoff game. 🙄
There’s a reason Miami had a what 56 game win streak for years, decade. It’s was poor old Warshington that had to come to town and put an absolute bitch slapping to Miami in 94 (Richard Thomas is still running) not Florida or FSU. Florida State was a juggernaut with Bobby B. The ole ball coach wasn’t bad himself.
Trying to compare Miami playing at the old Orange Bowl vs UCLA or SC playing in LA or Pasadena is apples and coconuts. What they have in common is - round fruit. And stop acting like you aren’t biased yourself. Which UW player flushed you as a freshman in your dorm? 🤣

Gotta admit, the guy has a point.
