Upper campus has hated winning football teams since WW1. Nothing's changed with us.PurpleBaze said:

Improve? You mean win a natty? Not every year is going to be your best year and this was never going to be it. The fact that anyone is making judgments on this season is ridiculous with covid new hc oc and qb with a young lineup. All that and we lost 1 game to a decent teamPurpleBaze said:
But we? failed to improve upon that. Never mind losing the big bowl games. Losing conference games, often to the same teams multiple years in a row doesn't help with building any kind of momentum for the program. Wins get fans excited. Wins also bring recruits.Canadawg said:

Total disconnect from the AD on all fronts... They are not going to lift a finger unless there's a huge drop-off in doogs buying season tickets and merchandise. They are very much business-minded about the whole thing and just living in the moment. They don't even treat Oregon like a rival, as they have emotionally detached themselves from that concept. They've enjoyed the doogdom that lives within many of our fans, because of the success in the 80's and early 90's. That won't last long as old doogs will eventually die off or they'll get jaded and walk away (which is what happened to me). There's only so much of mediocre play and losing to the same teams (Cal, Stanford, & Oregon) in the same stupid fashion a fan can take. It's obvious that the AD doesn't hold the coaches accountable.
The UW AD surrendered a long time ago. Years ago, on doogman, there was discussion of the Marinerization of Husky football. Well, the process is complete. Competing for championships is hard and it also raises expectations. Why bother with that. It's hard! As long as your fanbase keeps spending their money on tickets, replica jerseys, and donations, all is well. Just enough revenue to keep things running.
Quite honestly, I have many other things I can spend my money on and they are all a hell of a lot more fun than Husky football. Detaching myself from this program has also been good for my psyche.
Fuck this team, fuck the AD, fuck the upper campus, fuck Seattle, and fuck King County. We'll never have the type of championship caliber football team that we expect with the clownshow "leadership" on all levels.
The "oh well, we went out there and tried hard" feeling that comes from the coaches and the AD is tiresome.
There's a mediocre/loser mentality that permeates UWAD.
As went Mike Lude & Don James, so did accountability and the will to win.
It's fucking over! It's been over coming up on 30 years. The upper campus can't stomach a winning football team.
Yet we've still had some really good runs at times. -
I said this to a few of you months ago:
The same shit is happening everywhere, but when people aren't actually sick it gets swept under the rug...in programs and conferences that care about football.
If you're telling me our OL is in the hospital? JFC, obviously no game. But if it's being asymptomatic, and contract tracing is fuckin your team...real football schools know how to take care of it.
...that just isn't UW. In retrospect, it's a big part of why I haven't dooged in more than a decade. I've seen this before, and I ain't impressed by anything they've done.
PS - Jen, you got that Michigan game rescheduled yet...? Yeah, thought so. -

We also lost to USC at home like a second tier team.RaceBannon said:Our playoff trip is starting to look like Iowa State in the Big 8 title game
Every 105 years...............
The problem with the playoff team is they didn't really look like they belonged even being pretty damn dominant out west that year
Then the LEVEL UP TO CLEMSON and Pete is a super recruiter bullshit and before you know it you're 8 and 5 with a first year head coach who was a career assistant
There is no plan to sustain the success. iDawg and I railed constantly that it is much easier to stay a loser than to stay a winner and it is HARD to stop being a loser
Give the ducks credit for trashcanning Helfrich and Willie in a hurry so the stench of being a loser didn't set in. Going from Gilby to Ty made us losers and getting excited about Sark proved it
Petersen had one good year and one decent year out of 6. If he's the standard then we still suck
People forget we were the tallest midget chosen to be whipped by Bama. People forget that.

I still think we win the semifinal if we somehow got the 3 seed in the 2016 playoff. I know that doesn't make any sense since Clemson beat 'Bama. But 'Bama's defense that year was all-fucking-world. I'm DOOGING, but I know we were better than that Meyer-led Buckeye team.YellowSnow said:UW_Doog_Bot said:

Yet we've still had some really good runs at times.
Alabama - mediocre from 1983 to 2008 with the exception of beating @creepycoug in 1992.
Ohio State - No Natty from 1969 to 2001. Lost to Michigan like 9 years straight.
Notre Dame - not really elite from 1992 on. Last Natty in 1988. Could this be the year for @GrundleStiltzkin ? Prolly not.
USC - lol. -

I'm really curious about this because it's a pretty big deal.
Axed out the first paragraph because she likes to use my first name.
I remember it being longer. Probably because it was so painful to read. -
