"Chris Petersen doesn't get down 17 points at half to Utah, so that's a stupid comparison" is how I'll paraphrase my response. "Chris Petersen doesn't get down three touchdowns in the first half to homeless Stanford" the following week.
Hell, I was pissed after the OSU game, as they should have lost that, too. I was WAY more concerned with what I saw on the field than everyone's much bigger concerns off of it. Which reminds me: Poll options should be added for the Donovan hire and Kwiatkowski leaving to join Sark. The latter, in particular, pretty much proved the ship was sinking.
The Donovan hire cemented my misgivings.
1) Hiring Jon Don
2) Recruiting collapse
3) Losing Kwat, then upping the humiliation by replacing him with Gregory
The first two were huge harbingers. but number 3 is when I knew without question that this was a train wreck that was going to happen, the only question was when. Then the when question was answered during the 3rd quarter of the Montana game.
watching this team line up in the fucking I formation.
watching no NFL teams use a fullback.
'we' want to have an nfl offense!
He can have this micky mouse ass weekend and then him and Don Jon are gone and Malloe can finish out the year with Adams as OC, and then the fucking Pete Squad is done after a miserable apple cup.
If/When he makes it to conference play and gets his shit pushed in by Cal running Michigan's game plan, I hope that is enough to finally convince the druid President.
I don't know when it went from "maybe 1% chance this works out" to the current "welp, we fucked"
I'm not sure it matters. We fucked. OC, other head-scratching assistant coach decisions, recruiting shit-show, a general slowly increasing feeling of alarm, shitty Oregon state game, shittier Utah start, shittier Stanford game, bunch of alarming transfers...nothing has been good.
OK, his QB lead one of the 5 great 4th quarter comebacks in Greatest Setting history. But hey, even Pete had (1) 4th quarter comeback, also against Whittingham. And they shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. Just sayin'
But even with his terrible hires and shitty recruiting I didn't think the bottom would fall out so quick. Relative to the talent on the roster, this team is on pace to be the most disappointing and underachieving UW team in modern history.
When Puka, Calvert and Garbers left, and then Coach K mailed it in ~ like a lot of people, I realized that this was the front wave of everyone of value in the program heading out the door ASAP ~ to be replaced by nobody in the continuation of our wretchedly miserable recruiting.
The collapse of what has happened since has been nothing short of a seismic collapse ~ I have never seen anything like it over such a short timeframe.
