    One thing to keep in mind, look at our? NY6 draws. Alebama, Penn with Saquon, and Ohio State. It’s not like we? lucked into a matchup against Notre Dame, Miami, UCF or Michigan even. Those are games that with our? talent we should lose. Auburn was a clusterfuck, and a game we? should have won without needing any luck.

    Don't be so negative. At least your C-PAP machine is working.

    Petersen is David Shaw until proven otherwise. A stubborn, offensive-minded coach that runs his system to a fault. The difference is Shaw has won the big game (though his Rose Bowls were against Iowa and Wisconsin) and we haven't (Bama, Penn State, OSU).

    Both teams will be in contention to win the North every year, but sometimes the results leave a lot to be desired.

    Shaw benefitted from inheriting a good team and Andrew Luck, but he was able to beat Oregon when they were on top and get 2 Rose Bowl W's. Petersen benefitted from a shit conference and winning against teams we? should beat, but shitting the bed in the big games.

    we?

    Yup. I've been around a lot longer than you have Tonto. You'd do well to remember that.

    I was there! when we were shit-talking before the 2000 UW/Miami game. While you were still dating cheerleaders.
    I had a 2 tent full tended brunch bar in the East fucking end zone for that game.

    Pump my scotch, cane!!

    Elite coaches should be able to get atleast one upset/surprise/big win in 5 years, even if they luck into it. even with slightly deficient talent

    UW will never have the institutional culture, structure or support that the schools in the South have created. NEVER.
    .

    Lou Holtz was brilliant at ND in this perspective.

    Second point, is almost a non-starter. The loser mentality of Seattle will always lower the ceiling, especially with the “progressives” on campus, which is an additional battle any UW Coach has to battle, while others are spending their energy reloading.

    No one on this board would deny that Shaw has achieved more than Pete to this point.
    No doubt about that. He has arguably produced the most accomplished program in the conference over his tenure. He also produces some serious "WTF did he just do?" moments at the worst possible time in some games, but he's a winner overall and puts up a serious fight in big time games.

    Pete has UW feeling way too much like oregon in terms of big game accomplishments. Sucks big time in this area. Who knows though, Eason for brownshorts is a huge upgrade. Maybe this crop of youngsters coupled with a leader like Skinny changes big game performance. Hate to say it, but until they turn that corner, it's hard to get too excited about Husky Football.
