Since reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, I'll say it a little more generically. Washington and Nebraska won multiple national championships through the 80's and 90's (unlike those Fizzles but much like the Cats of the 70's until '84). I don't think anyone is pinning their life savings on that happening any time soon. Therefore, when you go downhill it isn't a slow erosion a lot of times but a one season turn, of which is difficult to return from.

Washington? Multiple national championships? They have one "shared" championship (AP chose Miami, coaches Washington). The Griz have double that number. And have played in 5 times more NC games than Washington.catamaran wrote:Since reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, I'll say it a little more generically.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was a discussion about Rose Bowls. I could have sworn the conversation was about reading comprehension and national championships won. My fault, apparently.lifeloyalsigmsu wrote:How many Rose Bowl's have the griz been in? How about Washington? How many has Washington won?GrizinWashington wrote:Washington?

A better question would be:

My point is that the talent level of I-A is clearly superior to I-AA whether many of us like to admit it or not.GrizinWashington wrote:I'm sorry.

To compare the respective histories of the two schools competition-wise and performance-wise seems ridiculous and does your argument no good.
A championship in I-AA can't compare to I-A when you consider the competition and talent involved. In the griz's best years 1995 and 2001, they would have been lucky to even hold the jock straps of the winning teams of the mid-lower tiered bowls. That would apply to all of the NC teams in the I-AA.
Maybe using common sense when comparing championships of the respective football levels would do your argument some good. If you look at the history of national championships in football, it would make a team like Yale seem like the premier football team of college football. Teams like Ohio State, USC, and Miami would all have a nice laugh at that don't you think?

At the number zero, we're both in the same boat. Guess you should remove the egg from your face because you're essentially laughing at the griz too.

Griz fans applaud you. Comparing an NAIA and DII championship to a I-AA championship makes people laugh, and should be disregarded. When you use common sense, the Griz have twice as many championships as the Cats.lifeloyalsigmsu wrote:My point is that the talent level of I-A is clearly superior to I-AA whether many of us like to admit it or not.GrizinWashington wrote:I'm sorry.

Loyal, perhaps you should take this argument up with catamaran. He's the one who compared the Griz to Nebraska and Washington. I simply refuted his statement that UW has won multiple national championships.

I know this is the smack thread, but I've got to point out that 1-AA did not happen until 1978; prior to that time there was only two classifications--and getting the small college national championship in 1976 makes both of the Fizzlies championships look like--well, using your logic, we won the 1-AA, DII and the mid-major championship all in one yearBR GRIZ wrote:Griz fans applaud you.

"The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference go back nearly 90 years to December 15, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at a meeting at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. Original membership consisted of four schools - the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State College (now Oregon State University). All still are charter members of the Conference.bearBAC wrote:I've seen the one at the school you beat!Cat Grad wrote:Go to Bozo and look at the trophybearBAC wrote:tell us again, how a score of

It says THEY are the national champions!
Pacific Coast Conference play began in 1916. One year later, Washington State College (now Washington State University), was accepted into the Conference, and Stanford University joined in 1918.
In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the University of Southern California and the University of Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA.
The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10-team league until 1950, with the exception of 1943-45, when World War II curtailed intercollegiate athletic competition to a minimum. In 1950, Montana resigned from the Conference and joined the Mountain States Conference. The PCC continued as a nine-team Conference through 1958."
Ya'll couldn't stand seeing the little Aggie School in Bozo winning a conference title and going to a bowl game, so ya'll bailed out of the PCC and joined the Mountain States Conference--do you need me to post what your records were during these days




Your cheers should be "At least we're better than you" and I'm embarrassed for you
