Most underachieving UW team in modern times?

2019 (8-5)I voted ‘19 probably due to recency bias and a fading memory, but 1995 sucked ass. Lambo laying down and playing for a fucking tie against Keyshawn and Trooj was one of the most disappointing moments I’ve ever had at Husky Stadium. And I was stone cold sober, which did not help.

1995 (7-4-1)
I was there. Go Big Red echoing off the rafters. It reminded me alot of the Notre Dam game when they had Lou Holtz mid 90's. Heavy weight fight. I love Lambo as a DC but everyone who knew anything at the tim knew that he wasn't HC material. Oh well, atleast he wasn't a puzzy like PeteRaceBannon said:The 97 Nebraska game at legendary Husky Stadium was on fire. Probably the last time. The classy Huskers beat the shit out of our boys and twisted Brock's ankle and took our women away when they left
While I had already long given up on Lambo that started me giving up on the whole thing. After a brief flirtation in 2000 it was over. Gone. Plenty or warning and gone
The 97 Nebraska team can be seen on Big 10 Elite even though they were Big 12 then. The Husky game was circled on the schedule because like 91 for the Huskies, it was their chance to show the nation they could beat a top team (allegedly) on the road.
Nebraska from 94 to 97 was totally roided and filled with criminals because Osborne was tired of losing the right way and wanted some national titles. Mission accomplished
Meanwhile our DAWGS were going the other way towards soft fucking loserdom -

16 team names score on 2015 team on basis of Vita and Gaines alone.haie said:In 2015 Pete took a playoff roster that even had a better pass rush and more depth at the position than 2016 and won 7 games, with losses to Cal, Utah, and ASU in addition to a pathetic performance against Oregon where he just sat in prevent and punted the entire game.
2015 offense playoff roster worthy......... if you say so -
2015 (7-6)
You realize Gaines played for the 2015 team too right? 15 team had Feeney and Littleton and a better pass rush.godawgst said:

1994 (7-4)
Excellent post along with Alexis's great post. I included Sark teams because I was trying to balance things out chronologically, but that was a mistake. '96 and '97 were epic underachievers, along with '93, '94 and '95.WoolleyDoog said:I wasn't alive for the 80s teams so gotta throw those out.
The Lambo years were confounding, and like recent years, a complete miss to dominate a shitty Pac-10 at the time. Outside of ASU in 96 the teams that won the conference were super beatable with the talent UW had on the roster those years.
I assume you left off 1997 because of the injuries? That team legit had a terrible injury run. I'll always remember getting the Athlon season preview that year back when that was a huge deal and the only real college football preseason prognosis you got and seeing Washington at number one.
Hard to call Sark teams underachieving to me because their coach was Sark so what do you expect? And Oregon and Stanford were legit really good most of those years.
Might be recency bias, but I went 2019. That team played like shit other than like 2.5 games and still 4/5 losses were games they should have won. They also got all of the "toughest" games on their schedule at home. That team at the very worst should have went to an NY6 bowl.
We can actually blame Don James more than the UW administration for Lambo being appointed head coach. -

I do, and watched him vs. Oregon as a true freshman not be moved off his spot being double teamed all game.haie said:

16 team better at lb, corner, safety, wr, te, and OL -

Literally the same fucking players but they didn't have Ross and had Feeney and Littleton.godawgst said:

JFC, what should Pete have done with that team?
Fucking 7 wins and a trophy from the Xazkby's Why the Fuck Are We Playing Southern Miss Bowl?
16 team "names score" on themselves plus/minus a few players is a fucking retarded take. -

16 team is better everywhere except outside pass rush. That’s pretty close too.godawgst said:

It's not about that. It's that almost all of the players were on that 2015 team and he won 7 games with an easier schedule.RoadDawg55 said:

They wouldn't "name their score" against that 2015 defense with a legit pass rush on Browning either.
