A simple twist of fate

I was watching the game Saturday on DVR delay after being traumatized the week before being forced to sit through the whole televised shit show of our going down in flames. The commercial breaks were longer than the time the DAWGS could hold onto the ball.
So at any rate The Drive flames out at 4 minutes with a chopper crash short of the line on 4th down. I'm drunk, high and pissed so I say to myself fuck this lets see who won as in UTAH fucking beat us at home. As I check my phone the winning FG is posted.
Now I am intrigued. We gave up the ball at 4 minutes and somehow score 10 points to win? We hadn't stopped UTAH much all night but we did? I enjoyed the rest of the broadcast so much I watched it twice.
This funk that settled in at ASU and has remained through a 2-2 stretch that should have been 1-3. Two things give me hope.
1. Despite how retarded Browning looked and the little fact that he failed on 4th down again, his chopper ride was so much more than the curled up fetus look he tried at Stanford on 4th down, that I think it actually fired up his team a bit. Like, hey he's still a retard but no longer a pussy! Then he leads the drives to 10 points. Baby steps.
2. Winning is always better than losing. I don't recall a game under Petersen that had this kind of a twist ending. Where we won a game we so clearly deserved to lose. The kids seemed really happy at the end. This can only help the confidence going forward.
All that being said, Jake Browning sucks but we're stuck with him. He seems to enjoy the Apple Cup. Let's roll.
10 wins is devalued but when the graphic on the screen says Clemson has 7 straight ten win seasons nobody stops to say which ones were 10-4 and which ONE was the national title. Recruits and their parents look at that shit.
And lets not forget that no matter how EASY it is to win 10 games these days UW managed NOT to until last year. Its a process and if you don't like it take it up with Pete or Nick.
I think that might have been a bigger win that we think now. I think our DAWGS better get used to teams giving every thing they have to beat us? It's all part of growing.
Big dogs like Bama have played 44 games the last three years heading into this season. With a target. It is mentally and physically draining. You have to have a way to cope or you're just another one hit wonder.
Fuck off

That being said, Jake Browning still sucks.
In fact he threw an easy pick 6 right into the hands of a Ute, but he was too surprised to catch it.
Then Jake made one fucking decent throw. Then another one. Then a good one.
And his confidence grew a bit.
Jake Browning is a god awful pussy, but I’m hoping he gains some confidence from this and at least plays like his normal self (which is B+ at best, but whatever) against WSU instead of his “I literally do nothing right” show that he’s been putting on all year this year.
When Jake is “on” he’s average and that’s all we’ll need. When he’s off, he is a program killing enemy agent.

I lost a lot of money on Sage turning it over 3x in the last five minutes including that helicopter fumble.
Wishful thinking, but the late game throws will hopefully give him momentum so he can play at a higher level. He most likely still sucks though.
