OK. What is the equivalent to winning 5 national championships while playing in the Big 8?
Nebraska had a Boise St. like schedule .. one team with a heartbeat (Oklahoma) and some other teams.

And 5 national championships.
Tom Osborne was 0 - 2 vs Don James (home & away series in the 90's) ... Barry Switzer was 0 - 1 vs Don James ('85 Orange Bowl). Washington would have owned the Big 8 when Don James was HC.

Tell that to Georgia. They flipped the script on them there and its not much further from Auburn to Atlanta than it is Athens to Atlanta. The Barn doesnt play well away from home.

Good thing we play in Jordan-Hare West this year. :suds:

As for early smack talk ...
All I am saying is that you never see Justin Trudeau and Chris Peterson in the same room, you be the judge:

Don James didn't have 6 national championships.

Nice moral victory there. And how many titles did James have compared to Osborne & Switzer? And while James was a damn good HC don't pat yourself on the back too much. In 18 years @ Washington he had a total of 5 double digit win seasons. To say he would have dominated the Big 8 w/ Osborne & Swizter around is crazy talk.

Washington showed those damn Okies who was B0SS in the '85 Orange Bowl with a 28 - 17 victory ... but that wasn't enough for the blood thirsty Huskies ... they wanted some of that Nebraska ass so they took it in the 90's with a 38 - 21 win @ Nebraska in '91 and a 29 -14 win in Seattle the following year.

Well excuse me. Let me be the 1st to congratulate your Huskies on wins that happened 33, 28 & 27 years ago.

I'm having a hard time here. I always liked Don James. Wish he had been more successful in his career. Like Osborne or Switzer were.

I'm a Don James fan as well. He was an Ohio guy from Massillon.

I'm sure Tom Osborne cuddles with all of his national championship trophies for comfort when that bothers him.

What AG is trying to say is those losses to Don James keep him up @ night. They truly ruined his legacy.
