    Semi-related but was just thinking about how 2005 (Willingham's first) doesn't get brought up enough as an all-time bad season and basically just as bad as 2004 or 2008. They beat an atrocious Idaho team coached by Nick Holt and a terrible Arizona team. Lost to a four-win Air Force team and to a winless in-conference Coug team in Seattle.

    That 2004-05 stretch of three wins and one Pac-12 win is a than the 0-12 season,.

    I attended that Air Force game. It was some of the most uninspired football I've ever watched.
    I turned to my dad and said, "Why are we wearing Notre Dame's colors?"
    I thought they wore the throw-back uniforms for a home game, where DH Turner hung the 1960 natty banner.

    The Air Force game was played at the Clink/Qwest/Lumen.

    One of the weirdest games I've ever been to. Being in Seahawks Stadium made it extra uninspiring. I was also there the next week when they lost by 40 at home to a Cal team that went 3-4 in-conference after that game with Joe Ayoob at QB.

    I knew it was all over for Willingham at that point.

    Yes it was technically a road game. UW wore ND colors.

    Aaron Rodgers was the Cal QB that year. I actually interviewed him after that 2004 game.
