Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Rick Neuheisel, are you losing it?
Ive always respected Rick Neuheisel. Dating back to his days as head coach @ Colorado I had always feared him as an opponent. I remember when big bad Schnellenberger brought Oklahoma to folsom field when Ricky was a 32 year old coach. Little drummer boy cleaned his clock. Of course Colorada went downhill as the running game fell apart (sound familiar? ) and Washingto was 2-0 vs him.
But ive always liked him and still do. He makes the pac12 network tick and he is brilliant at what he does (Just watch Ronnie Lott who obviously took too many shots to his bean, as Rixey constantly bails his wordless-ass out) He brought UW a rose bowl in year 3 and was a cunt hair from in year fucking two. His RB speech to Curtis Williams afterward was legendary and powerful, for you new fish, check it out.
Here's the problem . He compared Petersen at UW to Wittingham at Utah. Herbie the dentist doesnt see the most obvious though. Kyle moved a WAC team to the Pac. Pete inherited a roster capable of winning the conference. Big difference. I liken it to Tressel at tOSU. Cooper had many Sark-like tendencies...the rest was history

Rick was 2-0 at Washington while playing Colorado. When he was at Colorado he was 1-0 vs Washington.
When he was at UCLA he was 2-1 vs Washington.
Great factual post as always.
Recruited tons of receivers and QBs and no fucking linemen.
I appreciated what he did with Tui but I wasn't sad to see him go.
I was sad when the fucktards named tits to replace him and Ty to replace tits and Sark to replace Ty.
Boise before CP averaged 34th (over 6 seasons). Under CP, Boise averaged 22nd. And 5 of Boise's 6 best seasons came under CP. In fact the worst of those, #13 was the best year that any of his predecessors had.
Wittingham is not a good comparison.
Concerning Utah versus BSU, my bias prefers that the Pac-12 had invited the Broncos rather than Utes to join our conference when it expanded. Dating back to the 1930's, Bronco football has a long winning history as a JC, small 4-year college, FCS university, and FBS Division-1A program on the rise, whereas Ute football is a Johnny-come-lately that could easily go coogloser again if Wittingham ever left SLC. The University of Utah, however, has a long tradition of moderate accomplishment in academics and research, whereas BSU is just getting started in such elitist stuff which we all should know is far more important for Pac-12 membership than the quality of football will ever be.
