    That game made me a Musburger hater for life. His announcing was definitely very one-sided. FTG

    Asu 96'...well that was easy. Lambo vs Cooper. Lambo would have got his rose bowl trophy.

    Oregon In '95. Lambo would have got his 2nd rose bowl trophy.

    The omission of 2016 Bama speaks volumes.

    If you were alive then and didn't say 1990 UCLA you should be killed by Lambright's bare hands.

    That was a fucking brutal loss. The USC '84 game was bad, but at the time it wasn't abundantly clear it was costing us a Natty.

    UCLA 1990 was the worst feeling I've ever had as a sports fan.

    Agreed. Pissing $4k—$75k really for the Gilby/Ty/ Early Sark year(s) sucks too

    Your infatuation with shit coach and doog legend speaks volumes for your football knowledge.
    Uhhh what would that have to do with my superior football knowledge?

    The 1990 UCLA Bruins football team represented University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the 1990 college football season. The team was coached by Terry Donahue and finished the season with a 5–6–0 record in 6th place in the conference.[1]

    How the fuck? I found the game on YouTube and at the risk of wrist slitting will watch it later today.

    They countered the Huskies defense with quick slants. Tommy Maddox was their QB and was a true freshman.

    They had one long run for a TD up the middle, because the Huskies sent Tommie Smith on a blitz and the middle of the field was left open. That was early in the game.

    Late in the game, the Huskies rallied, but any chance of a win was pissed away by a late 4th quarter INT thrown by Brunell.

    It really sucked to watch that loss in person and, at that time, I don't think I had gotten over the shit loss to Colorado that September.

    I bet BJH wouldn't have thrown that interception. Fuck.

    Speaks volumes about your inability to grasp the jist of the thread.

    I'll help a little. 1990 UCLA is the most mentioned game here. 1984 USC is pretty prominent too. What about those losses is different than the one you mentioned? The quality of the opponent (hint: UW was better)? The fact that UW went on to win the games following those losses (hint: there's no reason to assume or even believe UW would have beaten Clemson after Alabama)?

    That help? Hindsight tells us that if UW beats SC in 1984 and the final #1 ranking was in the bag. We don't even need hindsight for 1990. We knew the day that it happened that the NC was pissed away. Somehow sneak past Alabama last season and a better team would have been waiting.

    Who knows? I'm not blaming Brunell for the loss. It was a let-down by the whole team. It was easy to not take UCLA seriously, even though the players (especially Emtman) said after the game that they weren't looking past the Bruins. That was hard to believe.

    With that said, the Bruins had a good game plan against the Husky D, which the Huskies couldn't seem to adjust to early enough.
