Talk:Washington Huskies football

message: Maybe we should list the California Golden Bears as rivals (at least an old one) since Cal was the only other big west coast school in the early part of Husky football history (early 1900's). It's also worth noting the original Washington fight song from 1924 referred to the Golden Bears in particular.

message: There was a series of in-depth articles in the Seattle Time about some serious issues surrounding the 2001 rose bowl championship team, one part reflecting very negatively on Curtis Williams. I think there should be some mention.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.54.37 (talk) 19:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I love the dawgs but we need to own up to our past so we never repeat it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bark4sark (talk • contribs) 01:17, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  2008  anyone? 

message: There was a recent edit that changed to the number of national championships officially claimed by the University of Washington in the "National championship claims by school" table in the College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS article. Although the current media guide lists selections in four different seasons (1960, 1984, 1990, and 1991) by various selectors of national championships, it seems that the university officially claims only 1960 and 1991, as evidenced by the highlighting of only these titles in other sections of its media guide, as well as the flags and banners that are hung at Husky Stadium. Further, no public announcement of additional claims has been made by the university as was done in 2007 for the retroactive claim of the 1960 title.  Since this topic is also being discussed by the editors of this article, and such editors are likely to be more familiar with the intricacies of UW athletics,  any comments on this issue at Talk:College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS#Washington Husky claimed national championships would be appreciated. Thank you. CrazyPaco (talk) 06:34, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The legitimacy of these claims is not the issue. The only issue is whether or not Washington makes official claim to them. The Athletic Department has recently been contacted and relayed that they only have signage for 1960 and 1991 at Husky Stadium (as seen under the scoreboard in this photo). Unless the 2011 media guide has change in how the national championships are highlighted from the 2008 version (someone please confirm), this would indicate pretty conclusively that the school only claims two: 1960 and 1991. CrazyPaco (talk) 18:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note though, that what the University of Washington officially claims for itself can be different than the actual years awarded by various selectors of National Championships. Thus, the description of the 1984 and 1990 seasons as national championships is a different issue than what is listed as the school's actual claims, as those alternative years were selected by different independent organizations and recognition of those teams by the school itself is irrelevant to those particular organization's selections.

thread_title:  National Championship claim totals at [[College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS]] 

message: What's with all the Mickey Mouse polls? Only the AP and the Coach's polls count.
UW has ONE co-national championship only. UW won the Coach's poll in 1991; Miami won the AP.
UW has never won the AP.
UW has never won a national championship outright.
Those are the facts.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editor0982 (talk • contribs) 04:28, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request on 29 December 2011 

message: The current article has the following in the sidebar.
Rivals:	
Washington State Cougars
Oregon Ducks
Oregon State Beavers
Why are the Oregon State Beavers listed as a rival? This team has not been a historic or current rival. Oregon and WSU are accurate, but Oregon State is not. If entries require 3 teams, USC would be the most obvious choice due to the longstanding rivalry dating back to the AAWU days. If 3 teams are not required, Oregon State should be omitted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seattle7thatwasme (talk • contribs) 06:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My feeling is that the sidebar should not list any rivals of Washington other than those listed under List of NCAA college football rivalry games.  Currently, this consists of WSU and Oregon only (so I agree with your edit).  Let the article "List of NCAA college football rivalry games" drive the content of the sidebar, to ensure both consistency and general community agreement. — Myasuda (talk) 13:15, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rivals? 

message: UW was "CO"-National Champions in 1991 and the ENTIRE College Football loving world witnessed it! The 1990 Season belonged to Colorado and Georgia Tech WITHOUT QUESTION and again the ENTIRE College Football loving world witnessed it! The 1984 season belonged to BYU and again, the ENTIRE College Football loving world witnessed it! I wasn't alive for the 1960 Season so I can't speak to that.
Why on Earth would you claim National Championships to seasons that UW CLEARLY DID NOT win? How can you possibly feel good about that?? That's like going to UW for your Freshman year, dropping out of school and never returning, and then calling yourself an Alumnus of UW and actually feeling good about it. Your not TRULY Alumni until you walk out with a degree in hand. 
And what is the purpose of stating that the 1984 Season was "Almost" a National Championship season. When does "Almost" become note worthy? In 2008, the Huskies "Almost" didn't have an 0 - 11 Season when they "Almost" beat BYU on September 6th at Husky Stadium. But that's not what happened now did it? They LOST 27 - 28 and that loss is counted as a LOSS and not ALMOST A WIN. 
Is this how people from Seattle view facts? That they can just simply change or distort truths to fit their agenda? These false claims to events that in fact DID NOT happen, makes Wikipedia look bad and discredited. 
Once and for all, UW is recognized by the NCAA as having ONE "CO"-National Championship and that was in the 1991 Season. I remember that team and I believe that UW could have beaten Miami that season, but it doesn't matter what I think. The NCAA only recognizes ONE season where UW was on top.
