Damon Huard out route pick 6 Kenny Wheaton's gonna score!
One play changed the course of history.
The other is meaningless bullshit in a rebuild year.
This isn’t even close.

Agree but I still hate Fisch until I don't

It's fine to hate Fisch until you don't; and we know the most coaches suck or are mediocre.
But we've got to play the odds here and Fisch's prior HC resume was evidence of some level of competence. The even keeled amongst us knew that 2024 was going to be a struggle.
Also, what do we do if Sark wins a Natty this year?

Fisch speed option to the short side of field Apple Cup
I was the only one in our poll to predict 5-7. But regardless of who foresaw a struggle, none of this excuses the shit-for-brains call and then scapegoating. Does it mean I'm done rooting for Fisch to succeed? Of course not. But let's not gloss over stupidity and scapegoating when it's costly.

He had a bad week and I suspect this wasn't his first screw up.
If he was an 1st time HC who had just lost to a FCS opponent I'd say fire him on the 50.

Can I be the person though to point out that the speed option might have at least spared us from taking a 1 or 3 point lead and then letting the Coug drive down the field on penalties and pissing down our leg because of Coug Kaepernick?

Why this play wasn’t immediately killed when conceived I will never know. 15 seconds that mic cut off and he should have been A) SCREAMING KILL KILL KILL B) Called a Timeout. This had zero prayer.

The result of one play created an entire football program. Obviously it was the most impactful, but it wasn’t that retarded strictly from a play calling standpoint.
The play last weekend had zero chance of working even if execution was way better. You’d make fun of your buddy for years if he ran that play against you in a video game. Taking a knee or kicking a field goal are the only two plays in the playbook that would have made less sense.

For better or worse one of the most endearing aspects of Hardcore Husky is the sky is falling, apocalyptical vibes. And this why taking a beach walk for perspective is one of our best mantras.

It didn't end up mattering but Petersen choosing to kick the field goal at Oregon in 2018 was a top X bad play call. Had a chance to stomp their throats, they weren't going to stop anything if they couldn't stop McGrew.
