I bashed Paul Arnold. Until he had that awesome spin move against Arizona.
I never liked Hurst. His stats were okay, but he followed Shehee, Dillon, Kaufman, Bryant, Lewis, Weathersby etc. and never lived up. I probably only saw 12-15 games between '98 and 2001,but he didn't have a lot of big runs when I watched and did have a shitload of three yd runs.
Hurst was merely decent, but he stepped in and did a great job in 2000 after starting the year buried on the depth chart. He was one of the unsung heroes on that team. Derek has a great account of this in his book on the 2000 Huskies.
In 2001, we could not run the ball for shit. Rich Alexis was doing terrible, but when Hurst got in we ran much better.

Who was the first player you ever ripped on? For me it was Damon Huard. I never forgave him for the "pick". Although I wasn't much of a fan of Vince Weathersby either and wanted James to sit him for Lewis.
Another one that hasn't been mentioned yet that needs to be is John Whales. That mother fucker cost UW the Rose Bowl in 1995. I know Lambo is a shit coach but jesus christ kid do your fucking job.

I can't hate the only QB to lead UW to a national championship. I just can't.

You can't expect a team to perform after the events of 9/11. The Miami game was rescheduled for that reason, it took a lot of wind out of our sails.

Wind out of their sails? That was by far the worst performance by a Husky team I've ever witnessed in person. I wanted Heuheisel fired on the field. That was officially the end of Husky football as many of us had come to know it.

If only there were one. At least it's finally being openly discussed as a serious problem in more than just message boards, one that could very well keep the ducks out of the big game this year, again. They were talking about it in the broadcast "This week in the PAC." I don't understand how Helfrich can be so smart yet be so obtuse when it comes to this problem. He even said he'd put him in again without a second thought in the same situation. At this rate I doubt 3 years in a row will be enough to convince them if they haven't seen the writing on the wall yet. I would rather have a random fan try to kick the critical ones. It's that bad.

Count your blessings UW. This guy was originally one of your commits from what I understand.

Suspected as much with the 9/11 reference, but that game still pisses me off to no end.

I'd bash my mother is she threw like Lockner.
Scott Greenlaw, mainly because my dad would rip him and couldn't believe he was getting playing time at corner.

I wasn't a fan of his either. The idiots loved him because he was a WHITE walk on who was a local kid. However I didn't give a fuck about that as he was constantly being burned.
