    I don't see much difference between lambo and sark in the end. If sark has losing records at USC I guess you would be right. I think he will be very similar though. Lambo apologists are some of the worst.

    Lambo was handed an absolute machine of a football program. At that point UW was considered a national contender the previous 3 years.

    He was the head coach for some of the WORST losses I remember at UW based off of the amount of talent he had. Nobody is perfect but these stuck out to me as moments where he had no clue wtf he was doing.

    @ Oregon (Kenny Wheaton. Great red zone route as always)

    Oregon 24-22 (Cost us a rose bowl)

    USC 21-21 (Consider it a loss given that they blew it and cost us a rose bowl)

    Notre Dame 29-21 @ home (WTF happened at the end? I am still confused)

    @Notre Dame 54-20 (This became the first in a trend to get our asses kicked vs good opponents on the road)

    Colorado 33-21 (I am still confused how we got our ass kicked when Dillon ran wild the first half)

    Nebraska 27-14 (Osborne vs. Lambo LOL)

    Oregon 31-28 (great start to the game vs oregon as always.)

    @UCLA (52-28 see the trend of shitty road performances continuing here. How in the hell did that team give up 52 and lose by 24???)

    @Nebraska 55-7 (Great road performance as always)

    AFA 45-25 (But Lambo was a great Players Coach. THey love playing for him. They won't quit!)

    Spot on! You nailed every bull shit loss of his minus Iowa plunger rape in 1995 when the tough "disciplined" Lambo had his players sneak over the border and get drunk night before the game Varsity Blues style.

    I remember the sideline reporter reporting "spoke to coach Lambright and he said if any players are throwing up he's sitting them out"

    Lambo being a "disciplinary" coach is the biggest farce ever. Remember during his time you had your starting RB in Rashaan Shehee injuring himself for the season jumping off a balcony because a gun fight broke out, Olin Kruetz ruining Sooki Wiggs life by breaking his jaw after practice. Wiggs was a projected 1st/2nd rounder DT that we could have used in 1995, he also wrote a letter to the judge backing up Jerramy Stevens and was the one who brought in Stevens knowing that Stevens stomped an unconscience guy out.

    Lambo fans always gloss over all that and act like the program starting to run like a circus under Rick when that wasn't the furthest thing from the truth.

    I thought about including that game but didn't, well, because it is the sun bowl. But at the time that was the first time back in a bowl in years and should have had a better effort.

    Well suck me sideways. All valid points, especially AtomicDawg's breakdown.

    There are so many different variables at play between the two's tenures, it's not a logical comparison to make, in my mind. Comparing Jim Owens 1st five years and Sark's tenure would make more sense to me.

    knowing that Stevens stomped an unconscience guy out.

    That word made me laugh, but what I found after is absolutely hilarious. If you google unconscience, the first link goes to a Wazzu website saying it's not a word. Like, they had to make a website because so many Coogs misspell it? Do Coogs have such shitty ass spelling that they need to make a fucking directory of all the words not to use in the English language?

    I can't decide between Sark and Lambo. They both sucked.

    Lambo had a Pac-10 championship. Sark's best year was 5-4 in conference.
    True. OTOH, while Sark didn't take over the owen12 debacle that doog folklore likes to say he did, he didn't take over a a program coming off of 3 straight Rose Bowels with clearly established dominance in the northwest and most of the west coast either. Lambo inherited a sweetheart opportunity and never did better than splitting a conference title in six years.

    I put Lambo slightly ahead of Sark, but I see the argument. They have a ton in common, right down to the PLSS love.

    Lambo had Dillon and a potentially great D.

    He lost to Neu in the Holiday Bowl.

    Fucking embarrassing

    Lambo did about average with the talent they had in '95 and '96, with two embarrassing loses (Sun Bowel va. Iowa and '96 ND). Average doesn't mean he did well, it only means they didn't massively underachieve.

    The other four years he underachieved. I remember Rondeau making excuses for him after the '93 season (hi Chest!). He said it was a 7-8 win team. Even as a teen I wasn't buying it.

    Anyway, it's Bitchcunt Babs' fault for keeping the loyal ass't around too long.

    Sark had two acceptable, yet not great years to begin, then stalled out. I give him the slight edge for leaving the program with eight wins.

    Even though I'm a Duck fan, I lived in Seattle during those years (lots of places to park my seaplane) and some of my good friends were Husky season ticket holders.

    The story I heard was that Babs didn't like Lambo, and refused to give him the budget he wanted to hire the assistants he wanted to hire. He was forced to field a team with great talent, but mediocre assistant coaches.
    Couldn't be further from truth.

    Invite your friends to your gas party.

    With exception of highlighted, all totally acceptable if the team is hoisting Rose Bowl trophies.
