I thought that the Huskies went to the Rose Bowl for seasons 1989-1991 and when the story broke about the loan that the Huskies were 8-0 and ranked Number 1 in the country. Who was whispering that "the game had passed him by?" Seems like a pretty good run.HHusky said:

That second consecutive loss to Oregon in 88' brought out the worst in Husky fans.HHusky said:
Majority of the UW fans on the bored would have cheered DJ's firing at the end of the '88 season. Some of them were calling for it.46XiJCAB said:Dazzler struggling to the bitter end is the tell.
Just the facts, ma'am.
Beat Oregon,
Nothing else matters.
And nobody gave an extra shit about Oregon in 1988 except Oregon State. -

Seasons of 1985-88 were awful. Painful. -
So, the people who were saying the James had lost it were full of sh*t like you. Is that your point? If so, well played. Don't get the dazzler handle for nothing.HHusky said:

I think I made my point, Gasbag. But just for you: the TugCon narrative today is that the (ultra left-wing) UW administration wanted James gone by 1984, yet after four consecutive crummy seasons, starting with 1985, he didn't get fired even though absolutely no one would have mourned his firing at the time.WestlinnDuck said:

It was a mediocre stretch. Bammer had those before they stopped investigating the SUCKEC elite about 12-15 years ago because Emmert's a corrupt cocksucker. You're reaching. -
Your point was that football had passed James by. It hadn't. What is clear is that the Husky AD and President hung James out to dry. They wanted to damage Husky football more than the Trojans and the SEC. Same thing happened with the NCAA sanctions on SC after the Reggie Bush "loan".HHusky said:

1985 was awful and featured a home loss to an absolutely terrible Oregon State as well as three non-competitive losses.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

1986 was the best of the 4; still, we were non-competitive in a bowl loss.
1987 was mediocre and we were non-competitive in three of our losses.
1988, in retrospect, may have reflected a turning of the corner in the sense of being competitive in all games, but snapped our consecutive bowl streak and seemed like a dud at the time.
Coaches get fired at big-time programs for stretches like this. The drop from 1984 was precipitous.
