What was Samek's reasoning behind going undefeated?

Senior QB, prolific passing offense that Gilby was going to toughen up a bit, and a pretty favorable schedule. All *we had to do was let Pickett and RW steam roll tOSU and it would be smooth sailing.Gladstone said:What was Samek's reasoning behind going undefeated?
As it turned out I wanted Gilby fires and flayed at the 50 after *our first offensive series in Columbus. The hype died with me right then and there.

That might have become the claim later on, but his 12-0 prediction for 03 started in like 2001. He stuck with it even after RN was fired, but it originated while RN was here.chuck said:

The general line of thinking was that we had absolutely killed it in recruiting in 2001 and 2002.dnc said:

I even thought Dash Crutchley was going to be a good player. -
Hemphill didn't suck.chuck said:This thread is pretty fun. It's so long now I can't remember if I already posted my confession. Here are a few things I haven't selectively forgotten:
I stayed quiet but was cautiously optimistic about Gilby and Ty when first hired.
I kinda bought in to the Gilby undefeated hype stirred up by Samek.
I thought president Emmert was going to be good for the program.
I did speak up in defense of Ty in years 1-2 when his louder critics hammered on things that didn't seem justified. One example would be his shit canning Hemphill and Braunstein, both of whom sucked so I was right. Still doogish.
I thought UW might hire Herm Edwards.
I liked Locker and made excuses for him, same as I did for Stanback.
I got excited about what I saw in Sark's first game against LSU...classic moral victory.
I thought keeping Wilcox and the rest of the staff might be a good idea when Sark left.
I thought we might have a chance against Oregon EVERY year during the streak.
I'm sure there were plenty of others. -

With some of the guys, it's hard to tell. It's hard to look good with shitty coaching. That said, shitty teams normally have poor talent. Hemphill did not do anything post UW to make anyone believe he was any good. -
irrelevant
the manner in which ty cut them was pretty low class and alienated the team. probably permanently

You try maximizing your skills when the authority figure intrusted in your development puts you in the doghouse.
Willingham actively cost guys who had a chance millions. -

No tiff gonna happen. Its a matter of opinion and what each of us thought we saw. I saw a big and imposing but slow, lumbering safety that frequently came in two steps late with his head down. He got a few nice pops on guys that were already going down but couldn't make a 1 on 1 stop in the open field because he had limited quickness and bad technique. Any wr or tb could juke him out of his shoes or outrun him.Doogles said:

That's just what I thought. I was excited about him as a prospect but lost the excitement quickly when I saw him play. Many others seemed to stay caught up in the hype. There were few exciting prospects coming in those days so it didn't take much in the way of talent to get people excited. -

The birth of the 40 yard sideways pass to the fullback because no one covers him!chuck said:

I had a job as an assistant or intern or some shit in the sports information office. I made $5 an hour and got some kind of credit for my worthless Communications degree. I happened to be "on duty" the afternoon that the news first hit.RaceBannon said:
I remember walking out of a building downtown Seattle the week of Arizona 1992 and seeing the headline on the Times about Billy Joe in the newspaper box.AIRWOLF said:I was part of Jim Daves' crack PR staff that "handled damage control" on the Billy Joe Hobert loan scandal.
What is a newspaper and why is it in a box?
Anyway, got physically ill at the sight of it.
The day the music died
I was dispatched to the pedestrian bridge over Montlake Blvd across from the Graves building to tell players who were headed to practice not to talk to any media. That really sucked, because I was delivering really shitty news to those guys.
Dan Raley, Art Thiel and several other local fishwrap shitheels were skulking around trying to get quotes from players who hadn't been briefed yet.
What a disaster. And the 1992 recruiting class was going to be special too, Dick Baird told me so (literally).
