Couldn't help but brush up on our history with UW. Besides the fact that our only '96 loss was to UW, spoiling a perfect season, I found this gem about the controversy surrounding our national title:



Quote from the article:

"For what it’s worth: It’s been reported in the past that UW turned down an invitation to face BYU in the Holiday Bowl, though it’s unclear if a formal invitation was extended. A Holiday Bowl spokesperson told The Athletic that UW was one of many teams suggested as an opponent for the WAC champion Cougars, but that the Huskies made it clear they preferred an Orange Bowl bid and thus never were formally invited."

This sounds awfully familiar...
