Washington is responsible for one of the greatest franchises in college football.

In 1953, a thirteen year old Phil Knight was a Boy Scout usher for a football game in Portland, Oregon where the Huskies beat the crap out of the Oregon Ducks 63-0.

This game would be a turning point, instilling a sense of revenge in young Phil Knight. This game, and decision to run up the score, indirectly resulted in a little school becoming one of the best college football schools in the nation.

So when we return the favor for another year, make sure to thank a Husky.
