Grew up in the Seattle area ... lifelong Husky ... only applied to the UW ...
Went to the UW during the late 90s and early 00's ... knew a lot of guys on the last Rose Bowl team.
Was lucky to go to TCU for grad school ... very easy to see the difference between what was happening at the UW and what a good coach like Gary Patterson was able to do with seemingly far fewer resources (particularly back when TCU was in the Mountain West) ... reminded me a lot of the UW teams that I grew up watching in the early 90s.
I see a lot of very strong correlations with Petersen ... I worry whether or not the impatience of our fanbase and desire to eat our own when things don't go 100% perfectly every single day, weekend, etc. will cannibalize some of Petersen's efforts.

Grew up in the Seattle area... didn't care about the Huskies until I showed up ... only applied to the UW and Colorado School of Mines (since they sent me a letter saying I was accepted as long as I filled in the form they gave me)...
Went to the UW during the early to mid 00's... knew someone who knew Isaiah Stanback and Johnny Durocher hit on my girlfriend at the Hub one day apparently.
Was intelligent to go to Wisconsin for grad school ... very easy to see the difference between what was happening at the UW and what a mediocre coach like Bret Bielema was able to do with seemingly comparable resources (particularly back when Wisconsin had to play all the teams in the Big 10 every year).... reminded me a lot of what I knew about the Lambo years that I didn't really care about as a kid.
I see a lot of very strong correlations with Petersen (and Don James, as documented in the first Ramblings™ of the season)... I worry whether or not the impatience of our fanbase and desite to eat our own when things don't go 100% perfectly every single, day, weekend, week, month, year, decade, century, millennium, age, epoch, period, era, eon, forever, etc will cannibalize some of Petersen's efforts.
Early 90's, undergrad, med school and then residency on the east coast. Now I can't stomach the program, the free pub and especially Doogman and the fat fuck trio. Fetters, Ecklund and softy need to gtfo Now I'm stuck attending PSU games (Emmert fucked me here too) and traveling to OSU or Louisville for live football. Club Seats at Beaver Stadium, all money I'd gladly throw at UW had they not hired Willingham, Sloppy 7 and Woody
About the same age as Tequila, went to UW about the same time.
I grew up in Seattle (before it was really pussified) and loved the Hawks and Huskies equally and always will. I can't name the entire two deeps or the left tackle from 1996 but I love them.
It's real simple. I want winning and a Rose Bowl more than every 10-15 years. Petersen is the man to do it IMO but it's not going to just magically turn into a Chip Kelly .840ish record right away. At a minimum he needs to win 70% of the 1-a gaymes.
I grew up in Canada back in the day when there were only like 13 channels... one of them was KOMO and I watched basically every Husky game (this was pre-Pac12 Network so you actually could watch the games!) and then would watch Don James run through all the plays on Sundays during that Coaches Show he did. I love the Huskies but HATE everything they have become in the last 14 years... trying to hold on...losing grip I fear.
I love the enthusiasm. I even appreciate some of the ANGER. You are ALL right. As a Husky fan, it would be great to see us back on top. But it is going to take a little time. Maybe 3 years or so. If we stick to the Recruiting Model of Don James, I think we will be alright. Stop following the "Stars" and get some REAL football players. IMO!!
I grew up in T-Town, but I ain't never been to jail. Everyone in my family went undergrad to UW. I spent 6 years doing mine. I can pass for 10 years younger than I really am...I might try to date some of your daughters in time, so I don't want to reveal my true age or identity to you or to her anytime soon. I'm not a big guy, but I'm definitely one of the loudest Huskies when the loudness at games is important. When I do go to the games, I usually lose my voice by the end of the game, even if UW is getting plungered. Next day after game, I sound like I must have smoked weed my whole life.
I love UW football, but I think it's getting time for me to adopt a second team (from SEC) as mine. The subpar football at UW has gone on far too long. I don't even want to watch Ari plunger UW this Sat.
My name is Harry and they make me wear this stupid "00" jersey. I'm supposed to be a Husky, some say Malamute, most think I actually resemble a raccoon. If you take me for daily walks I won't shit in your yard or dry hump your leg. Can't promise but I'll also try not to lick my balls in the presence of any female companions. Woof...
Late 20's, grew up in Olympia with a coug fan dad. by default I was a coug fan for my first few years but quickly grew out of it.. first 2 huskies games were 1996 against San Jose State and 2000 Miami... It has been downhill since then I suppose.. Anyways, I am hopeful for Petersen, but am worried about many of the idiots in the fanbase that care too much about sizzle..
I graduated in 1989, so I saw the Dawgs go 7-4-1 and 6-5 under DJ before he lit a fire under everyone's ass and got the ball rolling toward the awesome 1990 and 91 seasons.
I've seen highs and lows before, but nothing like this drought. The lack of emotion and fire on the field we've seen over the last umpteen years is something you never saw from one of DJ's teams even in a 6-5 season. Those teams played hard. I don't give a rat's ass what uniform color scheme you wear as long as you fly around the field and make plays.
Glad to have you here, Charles. I watched you on game day and remember you flying around the field making plays. I hope coach Petersen brings back that kind of play.

Sounds like you can relate. Is that how you feel when you wife fucks you once every other month (in between her forays with other dudes)?

My doc says I now have PTCD so I have had to stay seated ever since that dramatic 3rd down.
I kind of dig the white helmets
