Pickett totally deserves UW HOF honors given all the others who are in and the fact that his numbers were damn good — especially given the fact it was over 20 years ago and the game was much different then.
I hate to think how UW would have done without him. I saw most of his home games and he was the real deal.
It seemed like he was on track to have a pretty big senior season...
The coaching change really hurt and I also remember hearing after the season that he was hurt pretty early on... and played the rest of the year at a lot less than 100%.
A big senior year would've changed his legacy too... Lots of bad luck being stuck with Gilby....

True
He couldn't play the 2nd half of the Oregon game his senior year. Junior year he lit it up with Reggie
Cody, Browning and Penix are the only QBs this century to start two wins against Oregon
Does anything else matter?
The transition from Rick to Gilby sours the memories. Following Tui didn't help
I never said Cody wasn't good. I liked Cody, he was a good QB. What I question is HOF credentials. Who did he beat? He beat Michigan in his first start. He knocked off Oregon twice and a highly ranked WSU. He lost to Purdue in the Sun Bowl and lost to Texas in the Holiday Bowl. Got destroyed in Miami. Lost to Nevada at home. He beat a 6-6 USC team in 2001. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Oregon's Danny O'Neil threw for a ton of yards but often choked inside the 20. All those yards didn't mean he was great. (As an example)
I hate it when our ? 2 dads argue. I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle. If the world knows you are going to throw it becomes harder not easier. But, as it happened, I hated that we? threw the ball so much.
The thing about Cody is that he was real. A real cowboy.
Dude took a role on special teams just to make and stay in the NFL. He was a true Dwag if there ever was one. Much more than, say, Corey Dillon.
That’s 4-play. I can see how you would confuse the two.
The records that Penix broke by and large belonged to Cody
But why did Cody have those records? Because our 2.2 YPC running game was so bad that we had no choice but to throw.
And I'm not hating on him. I just question HOF status. Cody's mom once wrote me a thank you email when I defended him on Dawgman. That was before Kim Grinolds replaced my name on nine years worth of articles.
I'm with you on this ~ great kid, tough guy and good team mate, and i think of him as having been about 10 - 12th all time from a talent standpoint at the QB position
So 21-16, with a curb stomping from Da U, 0-2 in bowls, failed to make one in year three.
He wasn't bad or anything, but he definitely wasn't great. He was a solid quarterback. He got stuck with an interim coach who shouldn't have been there his senior year. That sucks, but still. I feel bad for his heart condition, but that's not a reason to give someone a HOF induction.
People bash Browning who had a better record, but defend this? I don't get it
Everyone's favorite glasses ref, Jay Stricherz, officiating.
I was in the student section for that game, it was easily the best game I went to as a student, mostly because it was my freshman year and obviously Willingham took care of the rest. To this day, the reaction to Corey Williams TD was maybe the best celebration I’ve seen at HS.
Man could he sling the ball. TUFF football player.
A well deserved honor.
Joe Jarzynka was TUFF too. Let's put him in the HOF. Who else? Kyle Benn was tough and really good guy. Let's put him in. Hakeem Akbar was tough and a good guy. Let's put him in there too. CJ Wallace was TUFF and a really good player. Let's put him in there too. Etc...

I mean the man set all kinds of passing records. To this day I believe that no QB has played for UW who is better than Cody Pickett until Penix.

If I remember correctly on the cougar broadcast, it was Bob Robertson that kept yelling …”IF THATS NOT EXCESSIVE CELEBRATION I DONT KNOW WHAT IS!”
