Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

When the Huskies prison-raped Oregon 70-21, it made a man out of Justin Herbert

    Yeah, that game sucked, but thankfully it was what Oregon needed to get ride of slingblade. Its much better to have a bad year than to have a bad decade, if you know what I mean. So it was a win/win for both teams.

    People forget that getting rid of Slingblade isn't what saved Oregon from a bad decade.

    Florida State @PatHadenFS'ing Willie Taggart is what saved Oregon.

    People forget that.
    Pat Haden loves the PNW. And thanks Willie!! Willie might be the greatest place holder coach in ncaa history

    Ehh, quooks say that but most likely it was when they got run over by Oregon State.

    Washington created the buyout discussion, and OSU ended the discussion before it even got started.

    Had Oregon lost close to UW, and still lost to OSU like they did, there's a good chance he would have gotten one more year. Getting bomb by UW eliminated any cushion he had, as his odds were greater than 50% he was getting fired regardless of the OSU game. But I agree the OSU took the over 50% chance and raised it to 100%.

    Keep in mind, it wasn't just the losses that doomed Helfrich. It was also his uninspired recruiting efforts. Losing Tua, when he basically begged to commit there, and then losing Molden ( A legacy recruit) it was the beginning of the end for him.

    The actively not recruiting or offering early approach thinking Oregon was a “Golden Ticket” was as doomed a strategy as lining up the defense 2 yards off the ball when what’s his face was DC in the dark years.
