Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

When is the last time we were pleasantly surprised by a season?

    I'm surprised you're surprised it's been so long since we've been pleasantly surprised.

    What would UW's record have to be to be considered a pleasant surprise?

    I just want the opportunity to still be dooging for the north in November. Assuming the field is as jumbled as I think it will be, 2 losses in conference won't be a death sentence.

    Drop USC and Oregon but running the rest is doable imo. Stanford on the road might as well be a home game. Going into tempe in mid november with a chance would be nice. I'll doog for that.

    Usually it's just us getting our hearts ripped out of our chests and then stomped on before dying of Race's AIDS.

    IMO...

    2000: "Year 2 of this hotshot coach and a local QB that is full of talent but hasn't quite taken us to the next level." Result: Tui cements himself as a Husky legend and we win the motherfucking Rose Bowl in the last great season in FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS. Result: PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

    .



    People forget that Tui had to get by the one shoed Bubushka's to get to the Rose bowl that year.

    Question for the old timers: Has the Pac 8/10/12 ever been worse than in 1999?

    1994 was pretty bad IIRC. It wasn't horrible, but it was very middle heavy, and Lambright fucking sucked and held us back from a non-Rose Bowl. Whoregon lost to Hawaii and was about 1-3 at one point, and they were the tallest midget. Still, '99 was worse. Ty won that year.
