    If Warren Moon isn't at #1 this is all a bunch of hype

    Warren Moon is interesting because I was there. I believe him and his family that they heard shit in the stands of a racial nature. I didn't because we had 50 yard line Tyee seats among the refined old time UW alums

    But we fucking hated him as a QB. He was horrible all three years EXCEPT for USC and the Rose Bowl as a senior. The opposite of Browning. He struggled against the shit teams.

    He was a more important recruit than Joe Steele regardless of what James said. We had to show LA that the Jim Owens shit show was over. Benching the local hero from Roosevelt who was better QB paid long term benefits.

    But it was tough to watch. Moon's career and HOF election is one of the real surprises to me in sports.

    @RaceBannon what do you mean long term benefits? did UW start recruiting more black players? I am millennial doof that has no perspective on UW before 2000

    We were in trouble with the lucrative So Cal recruiting area after the racial upheaval in the program under Owens. A boycott by the players over an all white staff of Junction Boys who weren't ready for progress.

    USC had at least one Black qb in the 60's. UW was still using quotas and not allowing Blacks to play certain positions.

    Chris Rowland once threw 7 TD passes against Cal and was on the roster. James went to LA CC and brought Moon in year one and started him for his three years of eligibility.

    James told his staff to recruit the guts USC recruited. It made the program

    Cal was tuff in the 70's under Mike White. Chuck Muncie, Steve Bartkowski, and Joe Roth among others. Wesley Walker.

    But there is no D in California

    The only QB we put in the NFL Hall had at 49% completion percentage at Washington.
