Last year when recruiting started to fall apart
"Just wait until visits open up!" - Jimmy
Visits opened up, he only schedules OVs for one weekend, and a third of the commits decommit
"I attribute it to young high school kids. Wait until the season starts!" - Jimmy
Season starts, loses to Montana and Oregon State and recruiting has flatlined

I'll probably get called a Doog but this was one of the more meaningful wins that had happened in the previous decade for me. We went to the fucking Zaxby's Heart of Dallas bowl and played a tough, shit-talking Southern Miss team that pretty much every UW team in the last decade would have rolled over and just taken it in the ass from. The fact we actually battled and won showed me that Coach Pete at least knew how to motivate the players and get them to buy in. It signaled to me that maybe we were turning the corner, which we were.insinceredawg said: -

Nah, you're point is fine with me.. There were signs things were coming around. The defense found its nasty over the course of the season and there weren't many teams who would have wanted to face UW with anything important on the line. The metrics said that UW was on the rise and the metrics were right that time.
The bowl game was kind of a no win situation. Win and it was just Southern Miss. Fail to get up and lose and UW ends the season with a momentum killing loss to Southern Miss. That was an important game to win even if it looks trivial at a glance. Maybe it's trivial now given the thud that occurred since. -
That Southern Miss team could really throw the ball. A lot of people here acted like Gardenhire always sucked. Other than that game, I always thought he was pretty good. However, in that game, he was getting destroyed.chuck said:

They had a decent passing game but I never felt like they should be in that game with UW. It was an uninteresting matchup.RoadDawg55 said:

The only fun thing about that game was that our bowl was going on at the same time as Cuoglet's, so if you were in the same bar as them you got all sorts of cunty stuff going on since they thought they were better than us even with the 44 to -10 Apple Cup.
One drunk, like 60 something cuoglet, ran up to the husky section of the pub and yelled "Cmon Huskies, beat Mississippi!" Like that was some kind of shot considering they were playing a lame duck Miami team that had just fired their coach. -

Couldn’t agree more. I want to say the end of that year they ran off a few consecutive wins to get bowl eligible or something. It was becoming fun to watch again. You could definitely see the momentum building and the potential for a strong season the next year.louism2wash said:
