  What I love most about this is that it isn’t coming from Utah. It’s everyone else telling us that we are national champs.

  Like I keep saying, it’s about as legit as many football championships that other schools claim. Bama claims a championship where one poll had them like #14 and 3 losses. I say we accept what others are granting to us and carry it with pride. It would be different if we were trying to claim it on our own, but when outsiders are making it legit – especially when officially recognized by NCAA and PAC-12, it’s time to hang a banner and acknowledge it.

    Absolutely. Utah deserves it because it was given to them. Be proud of that. That was a damn good team and no one has any proof that there was a better team that year.

    They need to hang the banner and do a big ceremony the last game of this year. Make senior day a special day.

      That wouldn’t be to tweak the noses of some Zoobs would it?

        Wait? We play them that game? I though we were just playing some lower level G5 team to prep us for the PAC-12 title game. Crazy.

        This story is so touching but it sounds just like a lie.

        How about this: we get a National Championship banner to hang in the stadium, but only put it up whenever we host BYU at RES.

        I hope UW hangs a 1984 banner before the game against byu-P this year. That would be hilarious too!

  We should go ahead and claim 2004 too.

    It’s harder to claim something on years where no polls have you as #1.

  I’m at the point, mostly because BYU fans are incensed about this, to saying we are champions. The meltdown on Zoob Board is something to behold.
