Re: 9/28/19 Huskies vs. You Can't Spell "SUCK" Without "U-S-C" Game Thread
Did anyone see in the Times that Ahmed's 89 yard run was 5 yards short of the Husky record set by none other than Sterling Hill vs. Puyallup in 1898.
After much searching I could not find it on Youtube. I think I would pay $100 to see that run.

Puyallup had a team?

I did see that. Crazy. The last run close to that run was Kaufman.

I thought Puyallup was just a lot of farmland back then. So a bunch of farm-hands got together and decided to put together a football team and somehow UW needed an opponent desperately enough to play them?

College sports on the west coast really didn't become anything resembling what they are today until the 1920's. In the 1800's it was more just like a school club. There were no leagues and they only played a few games a year against whoever they could find. Traveling to Oregon or California or even over to Pullman probably never even crossed their mind. In 1898 they played 2 games both against the Puyallup Indian tribe.

Puyallup U was known as the Harvard of the West back then.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 3:11 pmI thought Puyallup was just a lot of farmland back then.

Bizarre that they still count that as the record. Though I heard that it was the Puyallup tribe that originally came up with the Cover 2 defense later copied by Monte Kiffin.Captain 97 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 3:22 pmCollege sports on the west coast really didn't become anything resembling what they are today until the 1920's.

It was cover 0, because there was no such thing as the forward pass.

Good thing the UW players had those old-time leather helmets to protect their scalps. (sorry, bad joke)
