So let's see...
bigger than winning a Rose Bowl.
The next season UW beat #11 Michigan, #9 Washington State and #10 Stanford. But I'm hearing that team was an embarrassment and the first signs that Rick sucked.
Then you have the next year where Washington beat both rivals, Oregon and #3 Washington State. This win is obviously much bigger than beating the number 3 team in the country that also happens to be your in state rival in their house though. Obviously.
Now we hit the Keith Gilbertson era and he never beat a top 10 team, I mean that's ridiculous. Except for the time he beat #8 Washington State. But that win isn't as good because it was the end of the season against a team that had actually earned a top 10 ranking not against a Stanford team early in the year that hasn't actually done anything to earn their ranking.
I will concede that the win was bigger than any win under Tyrone Willingham.
Then we have the Sarkisian seasons. Wins over #3 USC, #16 Nebraska team that everyone thought was better than that, #8 Stanford, and #7 Oregon State.
Hey, good for you guys if Peterman is the guy but there have been a lot of wins over a lot of top 10 teams that amounted to a whole lotta nothing the last 15 years.
Feel free to doog it up. I'll be the guy at the end of the season saying I told you so.
It's not the win or who they beat in 2001 or 2003. It's the way they won. They dominated them from the beginning. It was very reminiscent of the early 90s teams. After watching asshole Harbaugh dominate Sark in 2010, last year's gayme and all the other losses to a team that's been at or near the top since 2010, this meant something. Most on here wouldn't have been surprised at a 24-20 win. Nobody saw this coming. Will Stanford end up being a 7-5 team? it's possible. Will the Huskies stumble? Probably, but they don't look like a four loss team to me. Enjoy it....or follow the negadawg script...
