Hardcore Husky Podcast: We're just biding time until the Oregon Game

Jesus…who was the insufferable cunt that was complaining Oregon’s schedule at the end? UW’s schedule was not exactly a murderous row and UW is hosting. Stop being a bitch

I am said insufferable cunt. No shame.

I didn’t even think about the refs wanting to take things out on Oregon and Washington. I’m on the conspiracy theory train now.

Believing that the refs always hate UW is a generational thing passed down in my family. My dad would flatly state it like it wasn't a matter of debate, and he was more of a Cuog fan.

It was bad against cal. Really bad. The blindside block was the easy one to see, but the non calls on holding were the real issue and the concern going forward.

Watching some NFL yesterday I was really struck by how quick on the trigger they are with holding calls. NFL guys would've thrown 2 dozen holding flags in the cal game. Surely some on both teams but it was obviously a strategy by cal.

I really don't want to seem like a doog lunatic so glad some hopefully lesser lunatics have seen it. Every game other than Tulsa to me has been shockingly bad. I wonder if there was something to the Pac-12 organizationally wanting parity for a long time and that trickling down to the psyche of the conference's refs. It's odd I've never heard of people bitching that USC always gets calls, when that's a pretty universal accusation against dominant teams.

One of my favorite things I've ever read was an Eagles blogger writing about how one of the reasons Chip Kelly wouldn't dominate in the NFL is they call holding differently, especially on the edge.

Oh and the trickle down Pac-12 parity thing I meant back in the 80s/90s where I think they openly said they wanted parity. Now I would think it woudl come from blaming Washington and Oregon on the destruction of the conference and the loss of jobs.
