WASHINGTON 2.0

As much as I hate Dennis and Coker, they were right. It took Pete 3 years to figure out what a contending team should look like and right now we're seeing the outcome of that 3 year lag. When walkons are subbing in to goal line packages, you're fucked. This season is essentially the tail end of "Washington 1.0" under Pete, which was never going to go anywhere significant.

I'm willing to see what 2.0 looks like under Pete with classes we all agree are leveled up and, most importantly, a change of leadership at the QB position. Pete's first iteration of a big time program is dying a sad and necessary death. His real coaching job begins next year.

    I subsrcibe to this ideology. With that said there is still enough talent to win all of our remaining games given the opponents and maybe go to the rose bowl. Depending on the opponent we will probably get exposed again though.

    yeah I've been thinking about this too. Right now the winner of tOSU/Michigan will likely go to the CFP and the loser to the Rose Bowl. Both of those teams will plunger us. Would it give us more momentum to go to the Alamo Bowl and get a win than lose another NY6 bowl? Yes, this is a total doog post but I hate the idea of Pete having a 1-4 bowl record with the lone win against Southern Miss in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. FML.

    No. That would mean someone else wins the conference, likely Oregon or USC which would be a disaster for recruiting

    Holy shit, Michigan would not plunger Washington. They will get plungered by Urbs, so you can pencil in Michigan. Good year for the Pac winner to get to the Rose Bowl.

    Pete passed the league champ by year three test. Despite the despair and no one wanting to hear it - ITS NOT OVER OR 2018

    If he gets a second title in year 5 we certainly are not the type of program that is going to pretend that isn't good enough for us. It will make the maddening losses go down a tad easier

    Having to start from scratch in year 5 can be considered a bad thing if we don't FINISH this year. But if you go on the saintly Don James scale Petersen is in the mix

    Won the league in 77 year 3. 7-4 year 4. Sun Bowl year 5. Next league titles years 6 and 7

    It really doesn't matter because he isn't going anywhere regardless.

    Its not GREAT but its not OVER

    The recruiting HAS to be great every year. This is a black eye for Washington

    Was it over when the Russians bombed Pearl Harbor? We still much alive and need to win the PAC.

    I can always appreciate, "next year." Have never heard it before.

    I was going to post about this but you hit it perfectly. I'm hoping that we will see a "leveling up" of our starters that reflects our recruiting over the last couple years. As the TSIO guys have pointed out, this is a weird year where we have "the guys who are left" from Pete's first 2 classes. I'd really like to see guys like Tuli, Taki, Kyler, Jack Sirmon, Ariel, Mele, etc. step up and play meaningful roles next year. There may be some growing pains but at least you're giving your "rare humans" some game time and a chance to flash rather than just playing not to lose with guys like Benning, Clark, Beavers, etc.

    Stop this doog shit. You always take the more important opportunity. Playoffs > Rose Bowel > other NY6 > Alamo or whatever shit. Choosing a lesser bowel to get a win is the definition of participation ribbon culture. Fuck that shit.
    Okay you're right. I apologize for Dooging out, these last few days have been rough.

    Hopefully we see Skinny and the offense take some pressure off when we're young again on D.

    Michigan doesn't scare me either. That said it's a NY6 bowl so we still lose B1gly.

    Michigan doesnt scare me at all. Pedo State last year was like 4 points from the playoff

    Dear Pete,

    Win a Rose Bowl and THEN pop off.
