I was living out of state from 92 until 2007. When the preseason rankings came out in 97, the only source of info I had access to were the preseason preview magazines. I figured Lambo would do well.
Not sure if this was a mistake but post '85 Orange Bowl (1985 offseason), AFTER the 1984 season, was my peak doog.
Not sure why anyone would think the 1983 season would lead to a special 1984 season. If I recall - we lost a mediocre bowel to a teen boy ass raper school.
If you don't use consistent methodology throughout - this is an invalid pole.
If you were around as a UW fan in 1991 you dooged harder than ever in offseason 92.
Simple fact.
Disagree
1990 was such a heartbreak that we knew Stan and the boys would not fuck up 1991. After 1991 Stan was gone, Brunell was healthy and the odds of repeating were not good. From game 1 they were not the same dominant team
1991 was high for me but I had no idea if Hobert would be any good. I thought we'd never lose another game after 91.
My exact thoughts
Teq Deep Thoughts: I got grounded after the Arizona loss in '92 because I couldn't believe that we lost and was busy cussing up a storm ... things you aren't supposed to do at the age I was at the time

My intent was the off season before '84. Seems like many of us here - me included - weren't old enough to remember what was going on in the 80's or earlier with Husky Football, so anything I put before 90-91 should be considered suspect and invalid polling.

Thanks for clearing that up. My bad.
I was looking for a post '84 option and didn't see one. Really, having lived through 1983 - I had expectations for a mediocre 1984. I certainly didn't forsee a three game improvement and finishing the year as the best team in the cuntry. Polls be damned.
But OTOH, the '84 season did leave me hopeful for '85.
(That loss to JoPa and Pedophile state was a tough one to swallow.)
2007: cumming off a 10-wiin season and a convincing 45-10 thrashing of aTm in the Holiday Bowel, yeah Marshawn is gone butbutbut Desean, Forsett, defense, Longshore, yadayada
Then Longshore gets his ankle rolled in the Oregon wiin, and Kevin Riley doesn't know how to throw the ball away against fucking Oregone State, potential #1 team ends up 7-6 with a minor bowel wiin against Air Farce

Hey, at least, Cal losing to Ty that year helped make 0-12 achievable for us.
2003 was a big year for dooging. Even more so before Rick was fired. And holding onto hope that Gilby could deliver a special season is as doogy as it gets.

I can remember being in SeaTac (or it might have been the airport in Columbus) on the way to the 2003 game at tOSU game and someone in our group started chatting with Fetters. He was assuring us that the team was going to far better hands moving forward now that *we* had a "real" football coach in place in place of a softy like Rick.
Fun side story: I was staying at the Blackwell Inn where tOSU used to stay before home games (don't know if they still do). Got in the elevator early Sat AM to head down to watch Game Day in person (first time for me) and I had on my UW letterman jacket, hat, shirt, etc, trying to represent, and in walks 4 Buckeye O-line dudes that are all about as tall as me (6'6") but with each having a 100lbs on me give or take. I just cowered in the corner and knew we had no chance in that game.
