1985 vs Oregon State

JaWarrenJaHooker · October 2016

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.

Always wanted to say that.

Fuck you LaVance Northington (I think that's his name)

People forget (like the US had to beat Switzerland) that prior to the punt getting blocked to win the game, the aforementioned Hugh Millen, on 3rd and short, got outside, ran towards the marker, and ran out of bounds a yard short. Which led to the punt, which led to the block, Yada, Yada. Yada.

(I was there)

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

I'm glad that my hatred for Hugh Millen is deserved.

I watched the game on TV. It was cold and snow on the ground. The Huskies came out very flat and looked like they were going to just fall over and win. Given NO, ZERO chance, Oregon State showed up and seized the moment, got some breaks and won. That's all I remember.

Steve Kelly had referred to the Beavs that week as the Barney Fife of college football

Who was that guy Rudzis, Rudzitas? A PI reporter? I thought he was the one who called out OSU as an embarrassment to the PAC-10 and should be kicked out altogether of the conference.

I don't have clear recollections of 85-87, but I was a Freshman in 88 and that team sucked, especially on offense.

Cary Conklin was a terrible QB, even if he was physically talented. And I don't recall a single difference maker at a skill position.

Steve Rudman, and you're right, he did call for that.

Planned a week back in Seattle with a game on each end. Thought we were going to be decent that year.
