    It's the difference between playing in the World Series or winning 116 games.
    UW didn’t make the championship game. HTH

    Thanks for stepping aside so we can finally recruit some black kids, pete.

    Shitty analogy, but the playoffs is the world series.
    No. The playoffs aren’t the World Series. The championship game is. Uw got exposed by Alabama as pretenders who didn’t belong on that stage. They lost and didn’t play in the “World Series “. Hth

    Great, it's the difference between losing the ALCS and not making the playoffs but winning the run differential.

    Rick bear Miami and Michigan. Did Petersen beat a power 5 team that wasn’t dreck in his time at uw. (Rutgers doesn’t count )
    Those were good wins. And the lack of signature, big time wins under Pete leaves most of us with purple ballz. But it's different game now. We won't get those types of home games much anymore (Pete's home game big time non-con schedule was non existent). When Ricky went on the road to play Michigan we lost or got plungered by Miamuh. All that being said, Pete would have probably lost to Miamuh at home in 2000.

    Would have been a great post if you would have just stopped right thurr.

    Come on row boat. Stop this unholy love affair with Toothy. He was a B+ guy. Good enough to get into Western. That's about it.

    Yes.

    And that's the difference. Rick got his teams up for games like having Miami at home.

    I try to think of the kids when incessantly posting about Don James but it is our only reference point. I stated early and often that I wanted Pete to be much better than James

    I want Jimmy Lake to be much better than James. He was not infallible and there is room above him

    Its just that we have so far failed miserably to find someone. It looked like Pete could then it became clear that we would be lucky if he could put together a 17 year plan to win the Natty and nobody has time for that anymore

    Pete wasn't going to change fast enough. He did the next best thing

    Go Jimmy
    It’s different eras. The 17 year plan for a Natty probably won’t be done again. I can’t imagine a coach finally breaking thru after 17 years.

    Back in the day, you couldn’t look up any recruit’s hudl, there wasn’t a bunch of camps. Guys were recruited based on who high school beat writer’s were writing about and based on what high school coaches were telling coaches on who they had that should be recruited.

    If you go 17 years without a natty these days, you probably couldn’t recruit good enough players to get that natty. The heat on DJ would have been amped up a lot more nowadays then it was during his struggle in the 80’s.

    The peach bowl was zero fun. Uw didn't belong. Everyone knew it.

    Can we all agree, since it's the Kwaanza season and we should all be getting along, that Rick, as a gaymeday coach was head and shoulders above Pete. Pete handed the ball off to Deante Cooper with his chart, rather than run out the clock. RN had Tui take a 4th down snap with 9 seconds left on 4th down, rather than punt, when ASU had already blocked one, and had him scramble and throw the ball downfield out of bounds running out the clock which was a great idea.

    We can also agree that Pete was a much better program builder than RN. As an AD, I would take Pete in a heartbeat. But if I need to win a big gayme, and I got to choose between the 2, not sure I take him. (Also Rick is a single digit handicap. And I would guess alot more fun to have a beer with)

    And, if there was a final 4 in 2000, UW would have been in at 4 against either FSU or Oklahoma, and would have already beaten the # 3 team. Who's to say they couldn't have beaten them. Wouldn't have been 24-7 loss I would wager to guess. Would have been the same as 2016

    In conclusion, Happy Boxing Day.

    So what you're saying is rick and Petersen aren't separated by much.

    Not the case. We were up early and our defense played be try well except for the one long run. We had a shit offense, but if we don’t throw the pick 6 and if Psalm actually recovers the fumble he forced on the Alabama 40, the game is very close.
