I'll have more to say on the Stanley Cup thread … but if I was a player in the room (particularly Oettinger) I'd be livid pissed off.
For a coach with 1 year left on his contract this is a good way to not get extended and force a tipping point decision before entering as a lame duck head coach
Both Heaner and Penix were absolutely the best versions of themselves under DeBoer. He did inherit both QBs when he got to Indiana and Fresno though. He also tried to do some running QB stuff with Milroe but despite that the kid was the worst version of himself under DeBoer. He was a borderline lottery pick and a Hiesman contender under Saban and Rees. He was so inconsistent and at times just awful under DeBoer and Sheridan. I’m salty as well. UWs once every 30 year window for a title was missed because of wandering eyes. FTG, I wish for failure, I just don’t expect it. I latch on to all the evidence that tells me he might fail at Bama and hold it close to my soul.
So I watched UCLA Classic on the B1G and it was their 2022 game against long time patsy Washington. Huskies march down and score on a 33 yard pass to Odunze on 4th and 3. Then a goal line stand. Looking good. Then they realized it was UCLA and went full retard for a couple quarters. Penix had two picks. DTR played like Jayden Daniels. The defense was a sieve and next thing you know it was 40-16 Bruins. Penix woke up and two TDs later its is 40-32 with 4 minutes left. But UW could not stop UCLA. Both teams entered 4-0
The second game of the double header was Washington at their long time patsy Oregon in 2022. Defense still sucked but the O came to play. Healthy J Mac was truly a sight to behold but Odunze is still 1A and more healthy his career. Actually hitting the game winning field goal. Good times
As I recall it was the new Pac 12 playoff rules that kept UW out of their rightful play in the CCG. But beating Texas in the Alamo was tons of fun and a big win for the program. I enjoyed it more than say Purdue in 2000
Anyway it was a hell of a 2 year run out of nowhere following the Lake Disaster. Let's do it again
The 22-23 Huskies were not great but they had great players where it counted and a coach that made them believe
Didn’t Wayne Towel a Papa jizz himself at our own goal line early on in that game? That’s the moment I remember when it was clearly gonna be a long day.
That wasn't Wayne's fault though. It was a terrible call on the shadow of our own goal line and a poor pitch from Penix. Yes @Joey I'm defending Wayne T.
I may be dooging, probably am, but I'm kinda feeling a redux of 22/23 coming, though probably just a tick lower. 9-3 with a win in the Alamo Bowl for 2025 and 10-2 with a playoff appearance in 2026. It's not 25-3 but 20,21 or 22-6 would be a pretty amazing run after the wrecking ball that smashed the program in January of 2024. If Williams is truly the guy Fishdicks says he is, this could be a real possibility. QB is everything. #prayingdoogGIF
I now have a nightmare flashback remembering 2017-2020 just having this terrible run against Stanford and Utah of junk WRs making these hero catches on 3rd and forever over NFL DBs against us. Not even mentioning Sal Canella.
Not to defend Debeor but his OC replacement in 2024 was malpractice or that was my opinion from the jump once his guy went back to Seattle. Nick f’’n Sheridone? I’ll never forgive the motherfucker for being door ass out and not all in until after the natty win or lose and if you don’t agree with my take, no problem and fuck off. I won’t get a chance to have a 4th 30 year legit natty win. 60, 91, door ass out, not all in. Who the hell can predict what college football looks like in 2050. Some 7 on 7 flag football.

Yep after the goal line stand UW fumbled a safety right back at them. The retardation part of the story

Just going to drop this legendary game here. 2020 was such a shitshow
Did Bellevue resident Bruce Harrell welcome Stanford to his city?

Wayne T was badass who kept getting better as the year went on.
So was Dillon Johnson.
If there was one thing DeBoer was a savant at, it was underrated portal players
No natty! Go Avs!
