@RaceBannon 's beloved NYD 1985 ain't walking back in the door anytime soon.
This was the first HCH pod I've listened to a while and it seems the college football apathy has taken hold in so many of us.
-
Washington won a Sugar Bowl trophy and made it to a national title game. That just walked through the door 2 seasons ago.
Fuck the West Coast, those fags cry about us no matter if we win 0 games or 14.
-
You're missing the point. NYD 1985 was the peak of the Pac-10 being the SEC of college football.
UCLA beat @creepycoug in the Fiesta.
Washington beat Oklahoma in the Orange.
USC beat Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
I'd go back to that era in a heartbeat.
-
Dude we JUST took the SEC's trophy from their current top program. 2-0 against them in fact
Were you in New Orleans?
San Antonio?
There's Texas fans that would read this and think we're just a straight broken fanbase.
-
Agree. 100%. Even though I hate that faggy term 100%, it applies here.
-
You could always use the criminally underused "+1"

No, I wasn't in New Orleans. Mrs Snow decided to book a 2 week holiday in Australia for our family w/o understanding the imminent BPE 14-0 storybook season. Home against Oregon was my only in person 2023 game.
I'm hesitant call Texas the class of the SEC just yet. Sark is still their coach after all.
I understand and appreciate how much fun and great the 2023 team was but that was eons ago and a different era of college football entirely.
-
Put things back together a bit under Judd this year and next and we should be back on board. I don't think the magic of 2023 will ever be brought back but even this year we have a nice nucleus of guys who have been around for a while and very few transferred out this offseason. As much as we shit on the expanded playoff and Big 10 too I think there will be a new excitement generated if we can actually be relevant in those things the next couple of years.
-
Eons ago you mean when our newly hired coach was going around poaching quarterbacks he knew were great from lesser programs? Then when he knew he had a stacked team he went after Mud Dawg U's stud back the next year?
And we had to beat a 9 year veteran quarterback in our biggest games?
-
Most of the key impact players on the 2023 squad with the exception on BPE and Mud Dawg stud back were Pete and Jimmy recruits who had been at UW their entire careers (coming in pre pro CFP). That seems like a bygone era to me.
It's not QBs didn't transfer to other schools back in the old days- e.g, Aikman to UCLA or a Warren Moon/Aaron Rodgers type coming up from the JC ranks. The BPE transfer never felt to me like it was driven by the portal mess.
