Washington Husky Fans Watch This (Best Team In Recent Pac-10 History???)

[xpanther206]

Holy crap these guys were monsters, just look at most of those scores! Domination.

Obviously a better single year than anybody in the Pac-10 has had since other than USC, but come to think of it, I don't know that any of USC's recent great teams were as good as this one (just judging from the scores, you can make a strong case that there's more parity today, but holy shit, look at these scores).

1991 National Champions, Enjoy

The 1991 Huskies were ranked as one of the best college teams EVER in the history of the NCAA by ESPN.

BTW, no team scored more than 21 points against the Huskies that year, including 7 opponents to single digits and two shutouts. That defense was nothing to fuck with.

Oh the good old days. fuck, what happened

Yeah I just saw this the other day. It was crazy that in three games they outscored their opponets like 110-3 or something. Too bad I was fuckin 6 and don't remember any of this shit.

Wasn't it the following year though that Billy Joe Hobert got busted for accepting money and the program had like a 3 year suspension from all bowl games? Since then they really haven't done a whole lot (with the exception of the year they went to the rose bowl with tuiasosopo).

True but they were still a perennial 7 to 9 win team throughout the 90s, things really went into the shitter towards the end of the Neuheisel regime and continuing into Gilbertson and Lionel Losingham.

I'm hopeful that the program will return where it resided for 30 consecutive years. 1991 is special, those don't come around very often, but given the geography of football in the West (WA is by far the 2nd best state to recruit) and the history of winning (that nobody in the Pac besides USC and UCLA are anywhere near (Oregon is about 50 consecutive 8 win seasons away from tying us, what does that tell you), we can get back there.

I just don't know if it's going to be under Lionel Losingham.

In Jake we trust.

I remember watching them beat the Hurricanes mid season or so when Miami was like #2 i think. I always wondered after that year what the fuck happened to them as a football program. I know Tui got the fuck off when he was qb there also but not till about 99 or so.

Yeah they've fallen a long ways, but w/ the huge fanbase that was built up after decades of winning, there's a major desire to get it back. Whether they can do it or not in the increased parity of the 21st century remains to be seen.

They used to outrecruit everybody in the Pac-10 besides USC in the state of California, a must for success in the Pac-10 as I'm sure you know being from Richmond. But now not only do UCLA and Cal kick their ass in California, but so do Oregon and Arizona State (RIP to the Richmond native who was headed to Oregon, by the way).

For UW to have that kind of success in California again, they will have to get good again, and to get good again, they'll have to do it largely on the backs of Washington kids. Then and only then will they have a chance at grabbing the Mark Brunnell's, D'Marco Farr's, Lincoln Kennedy's and the Napolean Kauffman's of the world (and no Greyson Gunheim and Louis Rankin don't count).

I believe they are still in the top 15 for most wins all time in major college football, and their streak of non-losing seasons was the 3rd longest ever at the time it ended (2004).

I remember a dude who played on that team lived right up the block from my grandparents in SF . His name was Jamal Fontaine. Crazy thing is he wound up on the 9ers practice squad the year when they won the super bowl against the Chargers. So he got two rings!

Absolutely, I remember him well.

And then of course there's Tony Parrish who was a great Niner for many years.
