Your Bama Hammer Alabama Crimson Tide-Washington Huskies Zen
By David Wasson
Here are the “We Want Bama!” types, the “Chris Petersen is a coaching immortal” souls who truly believe the Washington Huskies can scale Mount Saban and upset the most dominant college football program in recent history.
After hanging on to the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoffs and drawing undefeated Alabama in the Peach Bowl, one would think that Washington Huskies fans would be crowing about their chances against the Crimson Tide.
Instead, it seems the prevailing view from the Pacific Northwest – at least on the electric Twitter machine – is one of gratitude. Happy to be a part of the CFP, happy to rep the Pac-10, happy to earn a trip to Atlanta on New Year’s Eve.
Just kinda happy that the seemingly inevitable beatdown has yet to fully realize itself.

As always, of course, there are the more vocal group. The “We Want Bama!” types. The “Chris Petersen is a coaching immortal” souls who truly believe the Huskies can scale Mount Saban and upset the most dominant college football program in recent history.
We present them to you here:
Some seem awfully sure of themselves …
The Washington Huskies WILL beat Bama.

Give Coach Pete a month to prepare and he has a chance to beat anyone. I'm fully aboard the #WashingtonHuskies Bandwagon in the #CFPlayoff. https://t.co/CKrWKK4bDc

Give Peterson 4 weeks to prepare, yeah I think UW has a shot, plus Bama hasn't seen an offense quite like the Huskies.

I bet all of you talking crap about the Washington Huskies didn't watch more than one game. I watched EVERY game, we can beat Alabama!

We wonder what color the sky is in their worlds …
Huskies win and Saban leaves for the broadcast booth. Not that unimaginable. Both coaches have had success with extra time.

Next: Hire ME as the new Alabama offensive coordinator!
Naturally, Alabama rival fans are jumping on the Washington bandwagon early and often.
Looks like I'm a Washington Huskies fan on Dec 31st
