Christian and Danny discuss Keyon Menifield, whether NIL could negatively impact Olympic sports, why Billy Joe Hobert hasn't been invited back as a Husky Legend and more.
First, I have no problem with Billy Joe being a Husky Legend. I mean, Isaiah Stanback is a Husky Legend. Of course, if Stanback had played on that 1991 Huskies, he too would be a national champion.
Here's the thing. Go ahead and honor Billy Joe. But to say he's the greatest qb in Husky history? He was somewhere between the 20th and 22nd best starter on that team. He was a good qb on a great team, with a great line and a great receiver corps - Bailey,McKay, Pierce. Beno Bryant and Jay Berry and Napoleon Kaufman, with Matt Jones leading the way. There is a serious halo effect around him caused by the glow of the national championship. Let's honor him for being an important part of our history and perfectly capturing the swagger of that team, but greatest?
Billy Joe needs to be the Husky Legend for the Oregon game.
Billy Joe will always be a Husky Legend and Hero of the South End. No one denies this.

Still love him for what he did.
