This judge has it 3-0 Selma and in addition to points is also considering the pair of standing 8 counts administered. And Penn State of the vaunted 3 won't keep it within 4 touchdowns vs USC of the pathetic 2.

The Rose Bowl has had the same starting time (2pm) since I started following it. That would be UW's back to back Rose Bowl victories in '60 and '61. As a 4 year old I could score at will in the backyard against a couple of those guys (my uncle's best friends were on those teams)...

While I have a great deal of respect for each school's beloved traditions, in this case I have to agree. UW has some pretty special scenery and game day traditions. Looking west (Olympic Mountain range) Looking east (Cascade Mountain range and is Mount Rainier to the south) But it came...

On another note, earlier in the thread Husky Lawyer shared the pic of "tailgating" at Husky Stadium. Here's a different angle. BTW the Men's crew (Rowing team) shuttle the fans from their boats to the shore. It's a pretty cool tradition.

A little creativity from the University of Washington Men's Crew after yesterday morning's snowfall. The UW shellhouse is in the shadow of Husky Stadium on the banks of Lake Washington. FWIW the Men's Rowing team know a bit about winning as they were back to back to back to back to back...

Some good and fair points. I'm of the belief that Chris Peterson is one of the Top 3-5 coaches in college football, and he's been on the job at UW for 3 seasons now. Since Washington had experienced 6 or more losses in 13 of the past 14 seasons, I'm thinking that the future is pretty bright at...

Classic trap game against a VERY good opponent. Also, in the middle of Finals. I'd leave it alone (knowing, of course, that anything can happen). That's my 2 cents worth.

Excellent point by point response. My only retort is to your last point. As outright Champion of the Pac 12 (and winner of the Pac 12 Championship Game) there is zero doubt that they earned the Rose Bowl invitation had the playoffs not happened. Only if the Champion is unable to participate...

I understand that I'm a guest here and even though I didn't "need" a warning by perusing this thread I "noticed" that after a warning or two the Mods aren't hesitant to pull the trigger. FWIW I've been a part of Virginia's hoops board since '01 (GU met them in the '01 dance) and Florida's...

Re: 263 BTW, nicely done.

Re: 263 That's exciting to hear. Washington won #405 2 Presidents later (Nixon). FWIW the first words of my post that you quoted were "Since I started following Washington football ..." For some reason I missed the Huskies' first 72 seasons.

263 Since I started following Washington football they've lost 263 times. While I'm hoping #264 doesn't happen for awhile ... odds are it will come relatively soon to a great college football program. That being said, I'm hopeful that win #405 is one for the annals, right up there with the...

Sixkiller was awesome. He is also a great guy and outstanding Ambassador for the UW program. Back in the politically incorrect days of the early 70's I clearly recall the newspaper headline after a tough home loss to Stanford. It read "11 Indians better than 1". For those who aren't as...

Agree with everything you said with the exception that Washington played 5 Top 30 schools. But I haven't been comparing Washington to Alabama. I've been looking at Washington vs Clemson, who also played 5 Top 30 schools. The difference? Washington played 2 Top 10 schools and went 1-1 whereas...

You are correct. The human polls/committees that matter ranked Clemson higher than Washington. The computerized indexes that don't matter ranked Washington higher than Clemson. Somehow I don't think those computer indexes care about where Clemson ended last season, or what they were expected...

Hmmm. "Cherry picking"? I used those two (ESPN/Sagarin) as those were the two that you used to make your point. But ... alas, you were concerned with the SOS comparison only when we both know that there's more to it than SOS. And both of the services you quoted have Washington ending the...

Hey, thanks for the UW/Alabama SOS comparison. Not sure why you felt compelled to share that as I've never once compared UW to Alabama. The context for my remarks was the request for me to "justify" why I felt UW should have been in the 2 or 3 slot ... and my comparison/comments have been UW v...

Been "nice" visiting with you. Looking forward to a good game in Atlanta. Sure can't (and won't) pop off about Alabama. But it's funny how the SEC and ACC take the easy way out and only schedule 8 conference games (and then take the ostrich approach when called on it).

Huh? And here I was still trying to figure out how 2015 Clemson's record had anything to do with 2016.

Actually I "question" any Power 5 conference that only schedules 8 league games. If the Pac 12 had that set up they'd have up to 6 fewer losses in the conference each season. It is what it is, but only scheduling 8 league games (and having 4 OOC games including a powderpuff game in mid...
