You were "trying" with Ty, it's just that the desire to atone for your racist past was also involved with the decision to hire him. Many of you thought Ty was a great hire. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
By 2021, you'd gone through the 0-12 season, and the 12 years in a row. Things had changed. But in 2005 the glory of being "Northwest Champs" was still fresh. You were trying, doesn't mean you didn't suck at trying but you were trying.
You guys were eating this shit up. White savior mentality was in full force.
For a school that has sometimes struggled to connect with the African American community, it felt like a significant moment, which the UW recognized by soliciting comments in support of Willingham's hiring from Jesse Jackson and other black leaders.
"I think it speaks well for our university that race is not an issue," Romar said. "There may have been racial issues in the past at the University of Washington, but I think we're headed away from that direction. I think those in the community need to look at that and see the statement that is being made right now. You need to start somewhere, and we've made a start as a university to resolve that."
Yeah, it's very tough for me to convince myself that you guys aren't a steaming pile of shit this year. Just like you've been a steaming pile of shit 9 years out of the last 25. But, but, what about when we were good before the internet!!!!

25? 30? Just random and arbitrary time periods "cherry picked." Nobody measures things in 25 year time periods.
We didn’t. Look at the hires and overall decision making.
45* but still…
We’re in hyperspace now where programs can win a conf, rose, sugar and natty trophies in one season.
No country for old men.

I’ve made plenty of bad decisions throughout life when I was trying. Some might even say some of my worst.
By 2021 UW was willing to “lynch” - as you put it - a POC to try harder at football winning. That’s a big departure from 2007.
Better to be lucky than try hard @MikeSeaver ?
I find it’s a mixture of the two but luck is the game changer

Learning from past mistakes is a form of trying harder.

I remember some of you cunts on Dawgman wetting yourselves when he said this.
"It is time for the University of Washington to return to being the Dawgs. ... That is a vicious animal," he said.
You're trying really hard to convince yourself of this, Bob. The early 90s and before don't matter.
Bob hates Washington. Absolutely HATES them.

I agree you're now trying harder, after we embarrassed you for 12 in a row, but that doesn't mean you weren't trying before.
True. I'd say the conference championship is on the way out with the rest of the traditional measures
Win the championship. Nothing else matters
If it hadn't been Oregon last year's conference championship for Washington would be headed to the dustbin. 14-0 then we? suck
Penn State and Ohio State fans are happier today than the fans of the team that beat them
Yes, but if you get the clean sweep that’s the fucking Death Star on display in the athletic center.
