The fanbase in the 90's was also in part a product of winning and UW being WARSHINGTON DAMN IT. There was real pride to be taken in our TUFF lunch pail teams.jecornel said:The fan base has been dwindling into the abyss. It's sad how far it's fallen.
At least I can look back to the rockin stadium of the 90's. The passion was real. I also remember the Marquise Cooper (RIP) pick in the Apple Cup . The stadium exploded. Pure pandemonium.
If Pete looks at Don James every morning when he enters the office maybe he should go back and look at the tape when Don decided he had to make a change. A change that translated into unparalleled glory.
There's some chinevitable decline because of the broader culture but not much deterministically more than the rest of college football.
Jen's at least trying, I'll give her that, but there's still more that needs fixed for the fan base to return to an approximation of its zenith. -

I still think promoting Mark Helfrich in 2013 instead of hiring Pete (he wanted the job) was one of the biggest blunders in Oregon history. I'd be happy to take Pete off your hands.
Promoting Helfrich was the right move at the time. He plungered the defending champs in spectacular fashion and earned the ducks a second natty appearance in 4 years. Any coach that can get you to the championship game to gain a shot at the title is worth hiring. He just didn't have what it took to go the extra mile. For that, and for various other reasons that were obvious by that time, he should have been fired on the tarmac after the title game. -
Shaw's a good coach. Top 10 in the county IMO. But...UW_Doog_Bot said:
Are you telling me Pete hasn't been allowed to recruit a 5 star big armed QB?YellowSnow said:UW_Doog_Bot said:At this point David Shaw has a more successful big game record than Pete. Let that settle in.
The first time he blew it with Skinny. The second time he's proving why Skinny was right to leave.
Harb's record at Michigan has shown that Shaw's success isn't simply an inheritance. He's part of the formula.
He didn't land Luck; he came to Stanford when Harbaugh was the coach.
His biggest achievement was beating Oregon in 2012 and 13. And they beat Wisco in the Rose. There's no wins over the like of Alabama, Auburn, Penn St, etc. -
Let's hypothetically say Pete takes over the Alabama program tomorrow. Does he match Saban's success over the next six years?

A ham sandwich and a bag of cheetos could have coached that Mariota lead team to the Championship game. Florida State was an extremely flawed team, and the only quality team top to bottom Oregon played that year was Ohio State in the title game, and they got smoked with a +4 turnover margin. +4 turnover margin, and lost that game by 22.oregonblitzkrieg said:greenblood said:I still think promoting Mark Helfrich in 2013 instead of hiring Pete (he wanted the job) was one of the biggest blunders in Oregon history.

I don't think so. My guess is he hates bag men and wouldn't be willing to do whatever it takes.jecornel said:Let's hypothetically say Pete takes over the Alabama program tomorrow. Does he match Saban's success over the next six years?

WR Cedric Byrd II is good, I expect he's gonna create some problems for us.BeerThirty said:this Hawaii game will be VERY important for the DBs. They need to really turn it around. We'll see

TUFF Seattle/Washington is dead. California refugees turned it into Wetter/Colder San Francisco. The transformation into Cal of the NW is nearly complete.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Just a reminder that Saban said he didn't think he could win big at USC
Because of who we? are out here
