Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I'm having trouble coming to grips

with the fact that we're 4 quarters away from the opportunity to negate everything that's happened since college football was invented in 1994. I doesn't seem real and yet here we are.

The mood in Eugene at present...

    I feel the same. We won and I’m happy we won but *what* have we won? What gets me more excited is knowing we have a coach who wins, a football program that’s improved their NIL over time and a president who seems to think AND care. That is a foundation for sustained high levels of success and not whatever TCU did last year.

    I don’t think they’re dumb enough to let Deboer go, but if Michigan opens up and they still keep him, that would do it for me in terms of believing in their commitment

    We have to win this. This is it. Just one more game, and we'll win a fucking national championship.

    I started watching the Huskies during the Lambright years. All I ever fucking hear from older fans is how awesome the 1991 team was. How awesome it was they won the natty. Emtman this, Mario Bailey that. Blah blah blah, Don James. Truthfully, I love hearing about it. But I want to experience a championship with my fully-developed adult brain. Let's fucking do this.

    Definitely in this boat. The Iowa Rose Bowl was when I first really became interested. I was like 9 and didn’t know the nuances or understand how truly special it was. UW proceeded to win a lot for a few more years and I just took that for granted as a kid who didn’t know anything else. I have clear memories of that team and know that nothing will ever be quite as good as when you were a kid, but definitely want that experience as someone with an almost fully formed brain.
