When was the last super enjoyable win?
Maybe I'm just grouchy but it feels like the wins in 2017-2019 haven't been very fulfilling. Holding on for dear life. Or offensive incompetence. Or just generalized low-energy, tight games that should have been blowouts. Games like Stanford '16 or the ACs were supremely enjoyable because the team showed up in totality. And the opponents weren't trash
2019 -
Eastern - doesn't count
Hawaii - doesn't count
@ Byu - maybe? I guess? But BYU is total trash
USC - tons of mistakes and errors prevented it from being a romp
@ Arizona - team is total garbage but I guess if you consider our desert woes it qualifies?
@ Oregon State - like getting stabbed by a rusty shank
2018
Maybe the @ Utah game, but offensive incompetence and Browning being Browning made 50% of the game miserable to watch.
idk

2017 UCLA. Crisp and sunny fall afternoon. Blanket game. We never beat the Bruins.

At the tim, I enjoyed the usc win a great deal. Seems long ago now.HuskyJW said:Look how many times UW has beaten USC in your life

The second half at Arizona was fun. We were at the game so that made a difference.
I'm getting older so I take it where I can get it. Really looking forward to watching our recievers trying to catch frozen rocks this week. -
USC only game this year.
Dante punt return record vs Oregon in ‘17.
Most of ‘16. -
2018 Pac 12 championship game I watched in person.
And 2018 Apple Cup win that @salemcoog had to watch in person. -
The apple cups for sure.
2017 Oregon.
I actually enjoyed the Otegon State game this year. Yeah the offense was maddening, but UW hasnt stuffed an opposing offense like that in a long time. I like defense. -
As fun as it is smashing WSU in the AC every year... I got far more enjoyment out of the 70-21 thrashing over Oregon. It was pretty nice seeing the helplessness on the faces of all their bandwagon fans.
Imagine if we'd have won any of our last 3 bowl games... to be fair we were rather big underdogs in all of them... but it probably would have been up there. -
i see 16 oregon listed (but they were shit that year) so ill go a different route, 2016 win on a friday night versus furd.
thought we? were special that year, little did we? know/realize furd were fuckin fugazi.
they lost to boofs by a score of 5-10 that year, jfc.
at least i didnt drop $800 for tickets to that game. -
Yep that Stanford win was more exciting than the Oregon game because I didn't expect it. That was the peak of the Petersen era for me.rodmansrage said:i see 16 oregon listed (but they were shit that year) so ill go a different route, 2016 win on a friday night versus furd.

I enjoyed the BYU game this year. But I understand your point.

@Hawaii. The last time we played a QB willing to take shots and not afraid to get hit.

2016 Stanford. I was in Hawaii and watched while drinking a lot at a beachside bar. PCG against Colorado because we were there, Mrs. Nacho was drinking a shot of whiskey along with each beer and proceeded to wake up to tell me to reschedule our flight. We then ended up on the same flight as Warren Moon who I thought was Ronnie Lott at first.
2017 Oregon. I was there for the game + Dante's punt return + edibles.
2018 The Apple Cup because Cuog had Minshew and by God, this year was different! Utah in PCG because I jumped off the couch and yelled "we're going to the fucking Rose Bowl!" and Mrs. Nacho promptly pulled out her laptop and booked tickets.
2019 USC because regardless of their coach, it's still USC. -
The most crispy of sunny, fall days...UCLA in 2017

2016 Colorado - showed everything good and bad about the program. Good defense with a pedestrian offense. I miss that defense

2016 Stanford was the most fun of the Petersen era. Was there. Was rockin'. Every other conference game I've attended during Petersen's tenure has been a loss (Cal and Oregon '15, USC '16). I've had plans to attend more games since then, but the team has been so maddeningly frustrating to watch since that I've not wanted to waste my money. Almost bought season tickets for this year and I'm SO glad that I didn't.
Gladdy, I've been beating this drum for years, to the point where I'm no longer making it a priority in my life to watch these games. I'll watch if I have absolutely nothing else to do or on replay if I read that they did really well and won against a team that matters. Or the Apple Cup because those are funny. For the last three seasons, I watch a loss, and I'm bitter and angry afterward. I watch a win, and I'm frustrated and angry afterward. After watching this team play, I'm just not somebody my family wants to be around. Petersen's offense turns every game into a hate watch, making every fucking thing look so damned HARD. And it goes all the way back to the very first game of the Jake Browning era, a very winnable game against a top-25 Boise team: inside Boise's 15 yard line, Doog legend Lenius is lined up iso on the outside against a--no shit--5'8" corner. It's first down in the red zone, and they don't try throwing the ball up out there even once. Get stuffed, kick field goal, lose by 3.
2014 was a throwaway year because of Miles arm-punting passes off the turf all season, but there's no excuse for much after that, and each season has been its own little taste of misery, with only Gaskin and Ross providing occasional relief.
Rutgers, Stanford, Oregon, and P12CG 2016 were fun (the latter because defense, dominant running game, and the passing difficulties being understandable due to how good Colorado was in the back end and how they sold out to stop the pass). Oregon 2017 was fun. All Apple Cups have been fun. Can't think of another game in the Petersen era that I both cared about and wasn't pissed off by. There's just always so much that's left on the table, win or lose.
This season has been especially hard to watch because now there's not even a defense you can at least count on enjoying for their half of the game to balance out the offensive goat fuck. -

This sums up exactly how I feel. I can't watch Petersen's product any more. It has no entertainment value for me. I'll skip the Colorado game like I did the past 2 games, but will make time for the Apple Cup. Moving forward, I won't bother trying to get my Saturdays off during football season.
