    Rammnig won't even be a footnote in UW history. Captain Brownsocks will forever be a legend.

    Captain Brownsocks is just a goofy QB who didn't have the physical tools to overcome the talent gap vis-a-via an Alabama or Ohio State. But as @Tequilla would say to @RaceBannon , "Ana Mari Cauce doesn't pick the starting QB".

    KJ Ramming on the other hand is far more symbolic of our institutional rot, and I might add: the decline in Western Civilization in general.
    I don't disagree.

    Butt still, the doog world will little note, nor long remember that she was here.

    The hate for Browning is stupid. Won a shitload of games and did way more good than bad. Most of the shit he gets is for "big dick/gunslinger" reasons that are the same kind of FS as recruiting "elite" star chasing. Even with the most pessimistic rearview look at Browning, there were still a lot of ups, like 70-21 and being the QB for the Sark implosion (albeit that was a defense/Gaskin special), etc.

    Ramming? ZERO upside. Browning destroyed Oregon twice. Ramming WAS Oregon, even when she worked for UW AD.

    He was a symptom. Petersen was the issue for not bringing in any competition.

    I never "hated" Browning and appreciate that he was the QB who won the Pac 12 twice for us in 4 tries.

    I did "hate" his limitations and one can only dream of what we could have done with a Big Dick QB like BPE in 2016.
