I love Greg Gaines. No gloves. No extra padding. No long sleeves. Wrecking ball. Consistent and Durable: 46 consecutive starts. Consecutive two-time L. Walt Rising Lineman of the Year Award (picked both years over Vita Vea). Real lunch pail guy and soon to be father. My second all-time favorite Husky. I’ll miss you Greg Gaines!

    Couldn't agree more. He's one of my favorites of all time. I've never seen a DT better at dropping anchor and stoning the double team. He's pretty good at getting off of it to get hits in the ball carrier too, as that first clip shows so well.

    Not wearing gloves isn't tough. It's just dumb

    Top 3 UW DT ever for sure.


    Stan Empterman had an unbelieveable two year run. Ron Holmes, though inconsistent, could be devistatingly dominant—85 Orange Bowl. Reggie Rogers May have been the most talented. Larry Tripplet while good isn’t in the mix. Danny Shelton doesn’t factor for me. Vita was Vita.

    When you weigh the production, the consistency, the effect he had making other players better—BBK! and the DB’s—the dude, the sex appeal; then consider the defense has had no dropoff after losing Vea I have Gainsey #1
    I like to call him Gainsy. That's what I like to do.

    I myself prefer my DTs like I prefer my wide receivers: @Dennis_DeYoung - style: black af.

    I noticed your list was 50/50 black and white. In a sport dominated by the brothers, your list might be considered statistically raysiss. Skansi over Williams at WR? WTF?

    I was at the game and was just watching the recording tonite. One of the Fox commentators said the Utah OC told him that Gaines was the best DT they've played against. Good Shit!

    It seems you took my post seriously.

    Don't be such an insufferable cunt.

    Yes. Technically, all of them. At games in the late 70s, I wasn't paying attention to names (though Steele was a big name at my elementary school), but just experiencing the games.

    Early 80s I started paying attention to players.

    Early 90s you started paying attention to men on the street.

    You understand, then, what Steele represents both on the field and the direction of the program?

    Yes. Thank you for the history lesson.

    Christ. I thought this bored was predicated on humor. Did you honestly think I was submitting serious commentary on he racial make up of your list? The other guy is a dummy so I get that.

    Race isn’t an issue until it is. You brought it up. Doubling down with blasphemy now?
