Whammy in Miami on tonight

I don't mean this to sound as smart-alecky as it does, but if you want to be assured of watching a Husky win this year, turn on FSN in just a few minutes.

The network is showing, tonight at 8 p.m., the "Whammy in Miami,'' when the Huskies beat the Hurricanes 38-20 in 1994 at the Orange Bowl.

Guard tackle Bob Sapp's many colorful contributions to the Huskies is that he generally gets credit for being the first to utter the words "Whammy in Miami'' in the happy locker room afterward.

Here's a story from the Times in 2001 looking back at that game.

This is actually one of two UW Classics that will be on FSN this week. The network will also show the 2001 Michigan game on Thursday at 8 p.m. That's a game UW won 23-18 when Omare Lowe blocked a field goal that was returned for a TD to give UW the lead, then picked off a pass and ran it in for a TD to give the Huskies a little cushion, both in the fourth quarter. Here's a Steve Kelley column from that game detailing Lowe's heorics.

ALSO, on the question on Warren Moon on the previous thread, he was with the Seahawks heading to Tampa Bay as part of the radio crew, so that's why he wasn't there Saturday.
