The Washington Huskies have had there best year since 2016 with a stifling dawg defence and an efficient ball moving offence.
They roll through a Sabanless Bama in the semi final game with a soul crushing 44-14 win.
The National Championship Game Vs tOSU:
Huskies are 3rd and 1 on they're own 40 with 1:37 on the clock up 24-20. A first down separates purple and gold from they're first NC in 3 decades.
Thw ball is snapped and smashing through the offensive line is the beastly structure of a JT Tuimolouo meeting the RB and knocking the ball loose! OHIO STATE RECOVERS!
Ever the heros of the Seattle based school, the defence rises up with a sack and sideline pass denial.
WOOF WOOF WOOF goes the crowd.
3rd and 13 on the UW 36
A battered grey and red clad QB takes the snap in shotgun steps back and releases! Emeka Egbuka is in double coverage and comes down with the ball in the end zone! TD! TOSU ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
Kill me
Yea this crop of 2020 talent will take us to the champion in 3 years, for sure for sure. Who knows maybe Sam will really be a baller, other than that happening yea we fucked.
You're missing the point. Having EE and JTT on Ohio state and running across them in the next few years will be painful
Given the talent OSU has, there's a decent chance one or both them don't even contribute
Yeah, I'm reluctantly starting to accept that college football is fucked. This rich get richer shit is destroying the game.
Yeah, this is getting pretty gay. It used to be that teams from every conference could count on regional recruiting for adequate talent but the TV money and social media has generated 4-5 super programs that suck up all the top players.
Pac-12 used to have the RB tied in and even chances of taking an undefeated or one loss season into an NC.
They keep finding ways to ruin the best game in America.
No excuses
You either win or you don't. I'm not going to blame another team's success for my team's failure. That's loser talk, and sounds a lot like people wanting socialism brought into college sports to "save it". It's fine how it is, just win.
You're a fan of a team in a conference which has no relevance on the national stage. Same as me. And you think it's fine how it is?
I don't think there's any going back or fixing things without a hard cap on how much money coaches can be paid and how much money athletic departments can earn each year. I am pro-Capitalism but it is ruining traditions in all places, especially sports. If CFB is going to continue down the line of professionalizing the entire sport they should follow the NFL model which clearly works for balancing power.
The Pac 12 buried itself. It isn't right to take away from other teams because our conference screwed up. The Pac 12 needs to pull up it's pants and fix it.
1) Get a deal done with direct TV. This is why the Pac 12 network doesn't work. 80% of our largest market (Los Angeles) doesn't get the station.
2) Teams need to start fighting harder to recruit more nationally. We can't base our hopes on California kids.
3) Prioritize football. The SEC, ACC, Big10, Big12, truly give zero fucks about any other sport than football. They realize football is their cash cow, and funds much of the other programs at their universities. The Pac 12 needs to take a similar approach. Promote and support the sports that make money, so then you can afford the others. Don't try and boost the other sports while sacrificing the breadwinner.
4) It's tuff
This isn't even a "lol Pac-12" discussion, though we've certainly done the best job of cementing ourselves in irrelevancy.
Every conference not named the SEC has the same problem, to varying degrees. Take the Big Ten for example - does any give a shit about Wisconsin anymore? They consistently put up 10+ win seasons only to get totally overwhelmed by the talent gap when it matters. Nebraska and Michigan are only relevant in the sense that the rest of the country likes to laugh at them for once again failing to return to their glory days. You could have similar conversations about the rest of the lesser 4 conferences.
The current CFP model means the only teams that matter are Clemson, Bama, and Ohio State. Sometimes Oklahoma gets the honor of rotating in for their traditional slaughter. It's a disaster. So we can parrott the usual "nut up or fuck off" tuff talk of program building, but at the end of the day, having virtually the same playoff lineup for six straight years is crippling the sport. And the most recent recruiting rankings don't suggest that that's changing any time soon.
There's 4-5 schools that know how to sell themselves (they're all shit hole campuses and locations, you can be an NFL star draft pick playing for anyone)
and the remaining 90%+ of the schools have red ass coaching staffs that think it's beneath them.
It's pretty pathetic but we need some of these winners to get caught with hookers and blow or just burn out like Pete did, which we know isn't happening.
I'm guessing there will be changes in cfb in a few years like there always have been. Probably a 8 team playoff where there actually will be new winners every few years

During his interview with Softy, Sam Huard basically said JTT is gone. Mentioned both JTT and Egbuka by name when referencing how some guys feel they need to go elsewhere to meet their potential and goals. Said he’ll keep reaching out to JTT but at least Sam said he believes he can fulfill all his dreams and goals at UW.

Sam clearly has low goals for himself. Sad!
If his last name was any other than Huard UW would have went 0-3 with 5 star hs recruits that were within an hour of their campus this year.
One wish if found Jeannie in a bottle "Give Sam truth syrum and ask him if he truly wants to play in Jimmy and Jon Don's offense"
Oregon "cares about football" ... but you're fucking crazy if you think JTT will turn down Ohio State or someone else for Oregon all things considered.

Tell me there's anything about the year we've just lived through--both in general and as Husky fans--that suggests to you that JTT to Oregon is not just possible but absolutely happening.

I think JTT to Oregon is a long shot.
The same thing was said about Thibodeaux and Alabama. Or Justin Flowe and Clemson. You never know in recruiting.
How is JTT so different that it’s crazy? If anything, on paper he sounds as he would be the likeliest to go to Oregon out of those.
