    People forget that the Big 10 wasn't a regular opponent until after world War 2.

    UW played Navy Bama Pittsburgh and USC in their first 4 trips

    Was that the year they dragged Bellotti to the final so he could continue lobbying and pouting for his left out team during commercial breaks? That was pathetic.

    And when it was 35-0 Miami two minutes into the game the whole Oregon should have been here narrative lost a lot of steam.

    Sorry to interrupt your stroll down revisionist lane, but Nebbie losing to CU 62-36, then CU beating #5 Texas in the B12CCG before getting smoked by the Ducks in the Fiesta on January 1 was why Belotti was invited to the BCS title game by ABC two days later.

    The media narrative positing that the Ducks would have given the Canes a better game that night was hardly a crazy notion as late as midway into the second quarter, since Nebraska was not only not built to come back, it had already proven itself incapable of doing so in Boulder.

    Nebraska's appearance in the 2002 Rose Bowl made the organizers in Pasadena hate the BCS even more than it did in 1998. In fact, if you will recall. There were articles as late as 2005 as to whether the Big and Pac should just take the Rose Bowl back and give the rest of CFB their middle fingers.

    That sentiment wasn't all about BCS 2002, but that lame ass Nebbie v. duh U Rose Bowl didn't help matters at all.
