Before you get all statistical on me (or nit-pick the OL) and say how could you leave Reggie, Nap, Brock, Tank, Beno and Chuck Nelson off this list, please accept my humble apologies, and know that this list represents the Huskies that gave me, me personally, many enjoyable and inspirational moments. That is my sole criteria. I could easily do three more teams using varying metrics but I'll leave that to Bob Condotta, TSN, ESPN and the color guys at Fox.

The photos: My autographed Ron Holmes pic against Arizona and The 1985 Dawgs against Colorado in the Freedom Bowl at Anaheim Stadium. Chris Chandler is a sophomore here along with VW and Aaron Jenkins in the backfield. I took this shot from the third level using a 100mm telephoto and it came out surprisingly well, as did the outcome of the game, UW 20-Colorado 17. The YouTube clip is of the 1990 Huskies, one of the greatest college football teams of all time, and it features several of my picks in action, watching Greg Lewis run still makes me wanna stomp my feet and yell Jose Cuervo. It was UW 31-USC 0 that wonderful fall day.

Spring practice opens up tomorrow. WOOF!
