Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

1985 vs Oregon State

Can we get story time from one of the old timers about this game. Just how big an upset this really was and if we(?) wanted James fired at the 50 yard line after the game?

    Would be relatively similar to us losing to OSU at home next week. Except we sucked that year.

    We'd already lost 2 (out of conference, though) and it just flushed the season down the toilet.

    84 to 85 was a gigantic change.

    Don James killed Hugh Millen after the game.

    Largest point spread upset but Dennis is right we sucked and lost a lot of games.

    Lost on a blocked punt.

    I got a letter to the editor printed calling for James to hire Jim Walden as his OC

    85,86,87,and 88 sucked bad. I would have fired Don James

    We opened the 86 season by prison raping Ohio State 40-7 and BYU 52-21. Both those teams were top 10 at the time. Then we just became mediocre again and ended up getting routed by Alabama in the Sun Bowl.

    Yeah sucking under James was quality sucking which made it so frustrating.

    BYU ran the opening kickoff back that year. We? We're down 7-0 in 15 seconds. The next 56 points weren't consensual tho
