Do you understand that we're 2nd in the Pac-12 behind only SC, in terms of Rose Bowls played in?
They way to get where we all think UW should sit is through recruiting. You have to appeal to recruits and that it's through tweeting and uniforms not RB appearances. Sad but true. I didn't make the rules -
Mora is kicking ass in recruiting. Last I checked, he has tweeted four times since August.

UCLA > UW in :
University (generally)
Locale
Ecposure
Weather and women
Stadium
I NEVER said that this alone would win kids over but it definitely helps and gives UW and edge -
Also, the thing that draws me to Mora is that he is SO passionate. I believe attitude has such a huge impact on a program much like Harbaugh did at SU. Mora has that, Sark doesn't.

Honest question for discussion: did Carroll have it? That is what Sark has tried to emulate, from fist pumps to music at practice.
What is different, other than the talent levels between USC and UW?

Come on. If you're an 18 year old recruit, you couldn't possibly care less that Washington went to a bunch of Rose Bowls in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. It means NOTHING. To use an old cliche, Stan Empterman is not walking through that door. The 1991 team can't help you win on Saturday. The guys who played in those Rose Bowls are all in their 40s and 50s now, and are simply not relevant to a recruit now. The kids graduating high school now were first graders the last time UW was relevant, and their parents were college students the last time we won a national championship. They probably couldn't pick Don James out of a lineup.
That 1991 National Championship means about as much to 2013 recruits as Colorado's title the year before does. Why would they care? If you haven't been relevant in the last two or three years, those kids aren't going to give a rip, and nor should they.
