Most Unfortunate Injuries

3 wins might have saved Willingham. (I'm kidding but also kind of serious). I remember Race joking on his podcast, "You can just see Emmert in his bunker going `C'mon Ty, just one win. All we need is one or two wins! You can do it'"Bob_C said:
Had Locker not gotten hurt, they probably win 3-4 games. It would have made Sark's legendary 5-7 turnaround off of 0-12 not so legendary.WoolleyDoog said:
Rapp was a joke. Though I think he could have made a big difference in that Rose Bowl.RaceBannon said:Rapp? No
Azeem and Mathis were big
Stanback is my answer
I agree we are missing out this year even as we keep winning
Locker was terrible but what did that do in teh end? Just make sure they lost the Apple Cup?
I know you want to keep playing against Michigan State at that point but holy shit it hurts losing someone like that when the game was realistically over. -
The 1997 UW defense called themselves the Purple Storm Defense. But I kind of like the Shit Storm Defense.NeGgaPlEaSe said:
To me it’s Laiatu Latu. He is the difference between Washington’s D being too 10 and the shit storm we see now -
It was a riches-to-rags sad story. Once upon a time, I toyed with the idea of writing a book about him.AOG said:I think Wilson died of alcoholism though, on a dock, a forgotten man

Great topic by @WoolleyDoog. In the future maybe we can do a "Most Unfortunate Turnovers" or something else from the most unfortunate canon

Definitely second Stalin's Paul Arnold nomination. A couple not mentioned:
Cody Pickett's back in 2003. He was a shell of the guy he was in 2002.
Rashaan Shehee in 1997, if I remember right he was injured down the stretch and we really struggled without him.
Travis Spring. RIP.
People will hate it but Asa Turner last year. We win either of those two games and the whole narrative for last year and this is different.
Puka's injuries were costly, especially if there's a chance he would have stayed here had he not gotten hurt.
HOW WAS NO ONE SAID DEONTAE COOPER? NOT A WET EYE IN THE FUCKING THREAD.
The real answer is Laiatu Latu. Wiff a bullet.
No one mentions Cooper and then the bully steps in and pushes everyone around. You stand up to a bully by beating him to the punch.
Seriously though, Cooper might be the best or worst depending on your perspective what could’ve been injury. I don’t think it was all recruiting/Doogman/Sark hype that he would’ve been good. -
Oh I would have read that, to have another Boys in the Boat era piece on Husky athletics, especially to contrast their story.DerekJohnson said:

Why did Latu leave?

A movie about the birth of Alabama football in the 26 Rose Bowl could probably be sold

Saban and CGI DJ (Not the Stalin one) doing the voiceover history of UW and Alabama would be riveting.RaceBannon said:A movie about the birth of Alabama football in the 26 Rose Bowl could probably be sold

Locker temporarily going blind when his helmet covered his eyes on his head.chuck said:Locker shattering his hand trying to run block against Stanford wasn't too good but I guess it depends on your perspective. I'm pretty sure UW fails to accomplish 0-12 with a healthy Locker

Tui in 99. He still played against UCLA, but that game cost us the Rose Bowl.

What about Dave Kopay? I thought about trying to write a script about him and surprised he hasn't had a movie or series about his story yet. I looked him up and he lived around the corner from me in LA.DerekJohnson said:

Udub medical team deemed him unable… they wouldn’t medically clear him. Head or torn vag or something.PurpleReign said:Why did Latu leave?

We need more misery. I mean I think we all know the number one most painful turnover.
-Browning's pick six against Alabama which changed that game.
-Penix' stupid pick six against ASU last year likely cost the program a Pac-12 championship and a Rose Bowl trip
-There's a Penix
-Can't remember when but pretty sure Tui threw two picks against Oregon in 2000
-Haener's pick six against Cal in 2018 -
Brunell threw one or two picks in the loss to UCLA in 1990. The last one sealed the game iirc.WoolleyDoog said:DerekJohnson said:Great topic by @WoolleyDoog. In the future maybe we can do a "Most Unfortunate Turnovers" or something else from the most unfortunate canon

Instead of talking about these tonight, I might just someone to kick me in the balls 81% of the time.WoolleyDoog said:DerekJohnson said:Great topic by @WoolleyDoog. In the future maybe we can do a "Most Unfortunate Turnovers" or something else from the most unfortunate canon
