Eason starting 4 years under Petersen is better than Browning rather easily

Setting aside the fact that I'm glad Willis is a Husky… He's another example of what has turned sour with college football. Kansas State recruited and developed him… and then when they're set to reap the best benefits of his senior season, he portals out for a bigger bag and ends up at Washington. There's something so wrong about this whole thing.

The only way college football can possibly be saved at all is to have a collective bargaining agreement where when you sign your LOI, it is automatically for three years. You can portal once, but if you transfer early or a second time, you MUST sit out a year.

This is the only way I can see to preserve school spirit, continuity and tradition. It might be too late as it is.

Good list, I was @ a few of those early 90’s games. Nebraska was indeed a great game, so was Miami. Beating Stanford was also up there. But, I’m not sure what Haie has been smoking, the UW/Oregon game might be the best game in UW lore. That stadium was epic, nobody sat down, screaming, people pissing in the stands. Both teams played A level ball that day, what’s more ESPN had to acknowledge it. The roar heard when he missed was something I’m never gonna forget. I’ve never been on the field til that day, my one and only rush the field event.

For the record, I was watching the Oregon game on TV. But in my lifetime, it rivals these games for excitement at Husky Stadium:

1977 USC 28-10 win (I barely remember it - 6 years old)

1979 USC 24-17 loss

1982 UCLA 10-7 win (Incredibly intense)

1990 USC 31-0 win

1992 Nebraska 29-14 win

2000 Miami 34-29 win

2002 WSU 27-19 win

2009 USC 16-13 win

2016: Stanford 44-6 win

It's probably #2 for me, behind Miami in 2000. I assume all I saw was purple was up there.

It was one of the most-painful games on the field, but there was a great feeling when the ball went through the uprights to close out the 2023 Apple Cup to seal 12-0, especially knowing it was the last real one.

I approve.

The fact that Eason sucked means Browning was really good now? I mainly remember him throwing teammates under the bus, taking 15-30 yard sacks, throwing humiliating interceptions, and being really good at mid-range passes to above average wide receivers. He was also tremendously aided by a guy named Myles Gaskin

Browning's legacy has actually been strengthened since he left Seattle.

1. Eason being extremely mid helped show Browning was better than we thought
2. Him making a career as a backup and looking good when filling in for Burrow a couple years ago
3. Going back to #1 it's pretty clear Biderman's offense was shit for QBs unless they were at Boise where they were way more talented than everyone they played across the board and then had to get up for 1-2 games a year
