BYU has been better the last five years, but they are not even on the same planet as Washington when it comes to achievements and success for the program overall.

LOL Mars... laughable my friend, really funny stuff. BYU is a mid major with a bunch of mormon fans, and thats fine, but that does not make you have "national appeal"... thats just too funny. Nobody who isn't a mormon cares about BYU, thats not me trying to be mean or anything, that is just a fact.

For the guy talking down about our bowl history:



Bowl games



The Washington Huskies have a long history and tradition of playing in the Rose Bowl.



The Huskies' 14 Rose Bowl appearances are second only to USC in the Pac-10 and third overall (behind USC with 30 and the Michigan Wolverines with 19). The Huskies' seven victoriesare also third behind USC (21) and Michigan (8). In addition, Washington is also in an elite group of only six schools to make back-to-back-to-back appearances in the Rose Bowl, a feat they accomplished in 1990-1992. The other schools are Ohio State and Michigan from the Big 10 and California, Stanford and USC from the Pac-10. Washington has won at least one Rose Bowl game in every decade since the 1960s.

I guess you could call me the "guy talking down your bowl games"...or more accurately, you the guy "talking up" your bowl games. You lose half of your bowl games, and half of your big bowl games. You are the one who said that you USUALLY go big and win. How do you get "coin flip" to mean "usually" ? Don't you guys speak English up there?

Oh I'm sorry, I expected some reading comprehension from a fan of the PAC-0. I guess I was expecting too much. :roll:

We have four Rose Bowls, an Orange Bowl, a National Championship (two if you are one of the peeps who count 1990, I'm not), and a bunch of mid to lower tier bowl games to sprinkle on top... so not sure your comment holds any weight buddy ;)



P.S. since you all seem to be so high on "awards"... we also have the Doak Walker, Outland and Lombardi award trophies since then as well. And the Dawg Father won the Bear Bryant coaching award in 1991.

The University of Washington is great. Want proof? They usually beat Washington State University. hahahahahaha



Also, Tulane is great. San Jose State is great. Rice is great. Idaho is great. All of their fans would tell us so as well.





Meanwhile, back in reality, great teams win more games than they lose. Great teams go to a bowl game. Great teams finish ranked. Great teams don't hire Ty Willingham and recruit purse-stealers.



BYU laughs at Washington.



At least Huskies have sweet spirits.

I didn't say Washington has been the more successful football team the last five years, the people I responded to said Washington's history and tradition is "tiny" compared to BYU, which is ludicrous and nobody outside of Utah would agree with you guys. Since when did "football tradition and history" get defined as the last five years? You can't argue both ways guys, it's a non-starter.



BYU has a good history, but it is just not on the same level as Udub, to say otherwise is pure homerism on the part of BYU fans. And the fact that guy said we have no NC and no individual award winners just proves my comment that he is clueless and ignorant on football outside the mid majors, and that is not name calling, it's a fact since he could easily Google Udub and find out we have more than one NC, more than one award winner, and a very long and storied history and tradition of football success going back over a hundred years.



The last five years have been the exception, not the rule. Only USC has a better football tradition than Udub in the PAC10, with UCLA arguably being tied with Washington in some categories.



And you want to make fun of no bowls since 2001? Well we went to the Rose Bowl, and WON it, no Las Vegas potato chip bowls for us, but when we go bowling we usually go big, and win.



BYU has been better the last five years, but they are not even on the same planet as Washington when it comes to achievements and success for the program overall.

Sounds about the same to me then. How about, "hey you have a good team...hey we have a good team." No need to drop trou and reach for the ruler.

Both programs have a proud tradition and history, I just greatly disagree with those who lump Udub in with the SDSU's of the world, that's just not right.

I followed up your link and do see you have had an Outland, coach of the year, and Doak winner too. Good on you. The Heisman might still come some day. My point is that BYU's history and tradition is not less than UW's in my book. We can agreed to disagree. You guys have some great accomplishments and I will not denigrate, but you talk of homerism and quite frankly for a fan to shout from the roof tops about a program in taters (perhaps emerging from its failures) is homerism in its own right.

I don't get why you felt the need to drag Boise into this. ;)

Of course not.



SDSU has a bigger stadium and better offensive and defensive coordinators. ;)

Udub has a bigger stadium than BYU there buddy, and the Aztecs don't even play in their own stadium.
