I Googled myself the 1997 schedule and results. Lambo went 7-1 (including beating ASU _and_ Arizona) before a 3-game slide to Oregon, UCLA, and Wazzu. Went on to beat a young Nick Saban in the @AlohaDoog Bowl. The Huskies shut out USC in their 5-game win streak and I remember it being a very underwhelming shutout. I do have a vivid memory of the loss to Oregon though. The ending of that game was total ass. Lambo fucked it away.
It's too bad @puppylove_sugarsteel is not here to serenade us with his love for Lambo.

The Oregon game was awful. Tui did a great job to try to win it for us.

Mel Miller and Jermaine Smith were freshmen starters at CB. I used to read that big book that came every year and memorize it back then. Some of my earliest Husky Football memories.
Smith was good, but that’s a weak spot on the team. One of them got burned for a long TD at the end. I’m sure sanctions were the excuse for them starting.
A yung DNC was so proud when he visited the local grocery store in NC and found UW ranked #1 in the 97 Athlon CFB preview magazine. Major dooging commenced. Major.
I love Lambo. Great defensive mind with toughness, not HC
He never adjusted once football caught up to the 46 scheme. Maybe he would have with more tim but he got his ass canned before we could find out. It’s very possible he needed a boss like James to get the best out of him.
So Brock got hurt against Nebraska and The other kid had transferred so Lambo had to blow Tui's red shirt costing us having him in 2001 among other things
I recall Tui being forced to run the Brock offense until Oregon had a nice lead then Lambo let Tui cook and UW got the lead that they blew as they so often did under Lambo
Brock threw 5 picks as WSU tore down the goalposts after the Apple Cup and their Rose Bowl bid

I mean fuck Lambo. Fuck him all to hell
Fortney.
In tepid defense of Lambo I'm not sure how realistic it is that Fortney would have stayed to backup Brock for three years. Bigger criticism is he didn't recruit anyone who could back him up in 95 or 96.
Tui in 2001 is one of the ultimate doog hypotheticals.

Oh, and lest we forget, a young Chris Petersen was coaching for the Quooks. You can see him on the sidelines in this video.
Serious underachieving with that roster.

Fuck Jim Lambright.
Best roster other than 91, and it's even debateable it was as good as they were. Total clusterfuck of the coaching.
