When I was in high school, I had a crush on the hottest girl in my class. She was famously a virgin and didn't date. I convinced her to go out with me. After the first week, we made out in the back of my '67 Mustang and it was awesome. A week later I got boobie. I felt like Neil Armstrong. A couple of weeks after that, I finger banged her at the house where she was babysitting. I felt like Alexander the Great. Two weeks later she lost her virginity to some dude from Parkland.
NTX, you have always been my favorite classy quook fan. Do you think an away game at Indiana or Penn State, something poor ole Warshington had to do, wouldve made the team more resilient?
my takeaway from the rose bowl was that the only chance Oregon had was if Howard and smith both tore their ACLs celebrating the opening TD.
their talent on the back end on defense puts Oregon’s to shame. Outside of Muhammad (who mightttt be their cb3) no one in Oregon’s secondary is sniffing playing time for Ohio state. Their two safeties made our two (Kobe and tysheem) look like MAC players. Definitely the biggest area to address if Oregon ever wants to win it all.
the thing about cfb is that qb play at 80% of the teams is so poor you can get away with playing two bums at safety if the rest of the team is good. But when you run into wrs like UW had last year or Ohio state this year + a qb who can deliver them the ball deep, you’ll be screwed.
I would disagree that our schedule was soft—but I would agree that outside of Ohio state in Eugene, we didn’t play a team who could exploit our biggest weakness all season, so it made us seem more dominant than we were. And I still have no idea why chip didn’t throw the ball deep more in the first meeting. They adapted, tosh didn’t. Or maybe chip was playing possum until the playoffs.
And personally, I had a great time in Indy at the game (although the town sucks). But walking back with my friends after the game alarm bells were ringing in my head that we had allowed drew allar to look like qb1 in the next draft….because he actually stinks
If UW had won 9 or 10 games this year, which was not a big ask with that schedule*, maybe the media wouldn't be so hesitant to fellate UW in the off-season?
well, at the point they didn't get past Ohio State, it wasn't exactly a nostradamus call, but still.
this thing you have with the schedules, I mean, one of the foundational blocks of it was built on the tough loss to an 8-5 Iowa team on the road that Oregon miraculously escaped. It's not your best work. look, all you have to do is pretend Washington played Oregon's schedule and then reassess your "call". I am pretty sure if Washington beat Michigan on the road, Ohio State anywhere including at home, and Penn State anywhere, you'd be beating your chest pretty hard. Of that I have no doubt.
Regardless of your keeping track of Race's cock, and while I do see a sliver of light to your point about Hebrew Sark's situation in his first season on the job, you do remind me of the other place these days. I don't recall that being the case with you before but maybe I forgot. There are some here who really do belong there, but in your case I think you've just strayed and need to come back into the fold.
Actually, I would come up with another analogy. I was bulging in my sweatpants until the last line. And even after the last line, I was thinking, "hey, not a bad a few weeks there. can't win 'em all."
I honestly don't disagree with that. The play call at the Apple Cup was painful, but every coach makes shitty calls.
I think there is a world in which your LIPO point can co-exist with UW not trying hard enough to keep KDB. KDB underwhelming, which I enjoyed btw, can be viewed in context and it's not crazy to think he'd continue to be successful here where it's possible he's a bad fit down there. At any rate, as well as he did here, UW had an obligation to bust their ass to keep him and all indications are that they didn't. You have to make him say no, I want to go to Alabama no matter what you offer.
But Fisch did not walk into an ideal situation. I'm on record many times that year 1 is a sort-of pass unless the guy makes it obvious in year one that he ain't it, which happens. I wouldn't say that happened with Fisch, though, again, Cuog is a bit bothersome.
The KDB situation likely had a lot of factors, but UW was trying to keep him when it was evident halfway through 2023 he was a transcendent coach.
I think there are few worlds that exist where KDB stays at UW with Sexton as his agent. Sexton is a Southern guy that gets guys paid primarily by Southern schools.
Sexton is the type of pretentious guy to guide Kalen away from far flung, cold Warshington and into the sugar diabetes tea embrace of the South, which has been the mecca of the sport.
Did KDB like it here in liberal coffee land? Did his wife? Was he hitting Cohen on the side? Why did Cohen leave? Did he hate Dannen (likely)? Did he love UW but feel compelled by taking over the Bama spotlight? Does he hate Lesbian Cuban President's? Did he take a look at the UW roster sans Penix and compare it to Bamas? The recruiting aspect?
We don't know. But I don't think he was likely to stay at UW once Sexton began whispering in his ear.
The other thing about Fisch is he did not kill it in the portal as needed to bounce back now
On the field he was bad. Off the field he is bad. Seems pretty played out. Jimmy got one year. When you suck you suck. Gilby got two and easily could have been fired after 1
When you combine that with the UW pulling an epic fuck up any fan who cares more about Washington winning than Oregon losing would be upset
I don't care if people disagree or think Fisch will make it or want more time. Disagreements make the world go around
It was the viscous attacks against anyone like myself that noticed that the emperor was naked and said so. It was complete bullshit peddled as fact by some here that there was nothing that could have been done about DeBoer
Had they hired someone who was as good it wouldn't even be a conversation. But as long as we are anxiously waiting to see if Fisch can win 7 games or 8 games I intend to keep annoying everyone with it

But hey, it was a great season, no?
Penn State neutral site was a nice but ultimately meaningless win. It also wasn't 90% PSU fans.
Oregon had a charmin schedule for B1G standards in 2024 and was better in 2023
I was there. It was a road game. Oregon maybe had 5,000 fans.
Agreed on Oregon 2023>2024. Just look at the impact Bucky and Bo are having in the nfl.

That first half collapse was inexcusable

2023 Oregon > 2024 Oregon. Finally we have peace in our time !

6-7 happened. We all saw it.
Expecting 10 wins from a team that returned 2 starters isnt realistic.
8? Sure.gif
It should've been 8 with a chance at 9 in the bowl game

No one said expecting.
The media didn't. Rational dwags didn't. I didn't.
Therein lies the poont.
UW delivered.
Creep, it boils down to firing a coach after one season being worse for the program than LIFPO for another, full, year.
Dude didn't even get 12 months and walked into a situation not many ever have.

I don't know what happened there. I didn't even think you could make an empty post. Fucking Vanilla.

If we are bashing viscous attacks I am OUT!
You were annoyingly preening around here all season with the gleeful exuberance of a future NC winner so you can spin on it now 👍
