Just watched the advent of CFB.
Could anyone that day have possibly predicted the 19-year trajectories these two programs would follow?

I know it's 19 years ago but it still pisses me off they didn't run Pastor Nip four fucking times in a row! No way they stuff him.

I think the way DJ left the program, and the clear issues with upper campus could have signaled a falling off of UW, but not the depths to which we fell.
At no point could you have predicted the rise of Oregon. I mean, Oregon to that point, was sort of a backwater school with basically zero football bones. To see them get to the absolute upper echelons is sort of unreal. Doogs hate to admit it, but Oregon's last 5 years is better than any 5 years we had under DJ, sans an NC. If they get an NC soon, they clearly have the best run ever in the PAC-12 by a school not named USC. -
I support waggling dicks, but not the guys who massage them.

That's what I was saying in the stands. When the Huskies got close, I said to the guy next to me: "and now Kaufman off-tackle for the winning TD. Fuck."

Oregon had some football chops pre-1994, but was never able to put it all together at one time.
The school produced John McKay and John Robinson - but let them go away to USC where they made their mark. Oregon has six NFL Hall of Fame guys - all from the old days. Only Notre Dame, Ohio State and USC have more HOF guys than we (and some other schools like Miami) do. UW has three.
Arguably the big turning point was when the idiot boosters we had at the time (essentially) fired Jerry Frei in 1972. George Seifert, John Robinson, Bruce Snyder, and Norv Turner were on the staff the boosters wanted Frei to reshuffle. He resigned instead.
After that began The Suffering, where Oregon football was distinctly second-rate in the Pac-8 and Pac-10 until Brooks was able to field a dangerous offense led by Chris Miller.Swaye said:

This is not possible. College football had not yet been invented.AZDuck said:Oregon had some football chops pre-1994, but was never able to put it all together at one time.

Proto football. Ur-football.
