Oregon good but will never be great like Huskies were

I read this someplace and thought I'd post it here in the real Husky forum to get more accurate fan responses.

If we're talking about the 1991 team greatness - they probably won't. If we're talking about overall program greatness they are pretty much already there.

Chip Kelly's 4 year run is better than any 4 year run the Huskies have ever had. Sad but true.

One could argue Oregon 2009-13 tops any 5 year stretch in UW history.

If we go by a single year, Oregon picks one team and UW picks one team, I think Oregon's team last year was the best Oregon team I've ever seen, with a healthy Mariota, DAT and the Chipper in charge. But the 1991 Washington team was better. That Defense really was as great as everyone says. I know its tough to compare eras, but Id say '91 UW beats '12 Oregon rather easily, say, 35-17?

They may never be as good as the 91 team.

Their program has already surpassed any stretch in UW history.

I know, others have already said it. But it's true.

I hate doing comparisons on teams/players from other decades.

The game is completely different today than it was 1991. In comparison to the competition at the time, yes, I would say 1991 Washington was more dominant. However, today, players are faster and stronger than ever, and new rules have also benefited offenses. But you can also argue that those 1991 UW defenses would be bigger and stronger today than they were then.

It's like comparing Montana to Brady, you can't. Same goes for NBA teams pre 2000's to now.

I hate to play the damn fence on this, but there is absolutely no comparison.

91 UW steroids > modern Oregon payola.

UW wins that one rather easily.

Agreed!

And Oregon's never beaten Everett HS, The USS Milwaukee or the Ballard Meteors either.

Just sayin.....

Easy chief... The 'run' ... Ok ...

But no cherry on top. Aside from that .. '91 with motivation would have put those dumb cunts in traction for 3 months. I was there. I knew some them. They were on another planet. They were good to go 24/7.

Gil Dobie never had to face Nicholls State.
