The greatest win of the Peterson era was destroying a 4-8 Helfrich team.

    Pretty much

    Beating Colorado and Utah in the CCG seemed routine

    Beat Oregon nothing else matters POTD.

    I hate the big brother, little brother, back and forth. But nothing screams little brother syndrome more than claiming the greatest victory of a two time Pac 12 championship era coach was a 70-21 victory over a team that had a sub .500 record.

    Got helfrich fired and cut about 2-3 years off Oregon’s rebuild. Thanks Pete!
  • Or the Pac 12 sucks and beating Colorado and Utah is nothing to get excited about

    Beating Stanford and Oregon to win the north will always matter more

    Your best win this year was in Seattle

    And you know it

    It really wasn’t. Oregon had the North all but locked up before that game. The Utah game was Oregon’s best win by a long shot, because it was one of the only games this year where Oregon was effective on both sides of the ball.

    Nobody should be ashamed, either side of the debate, for the importance of beating the other.

    The Washington/Oregon rivalry has emerged as the very best in the west, and it's not close. The games have had meaning for each team's season, there have been some historic tilts, they are clearly the two power programs in the PNW and are very significant players in the conference. Plus, the vitriol and passion involved in this rivalry is the closest thing we? have to southern football rivalry, or an OSU/Michigan-type rivalry, in the West.

    People are starting to pay attention to this rivlary on a national level as well. Outside of the PNW, nobody cares or is even aware of the Apple Cup or Civil War.

    "Beat [Washington][Oregon], nothing else matters" is a real thing and completely justified. Both programs competing for titles and serious bowls and talent and resources. It is what it is.

    Well it certainly wasn’t that one bowl win. Again thinks for helping us speed up the rebuild.
