Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Would you be happy with a 13-1 record with a NY6 win?

I know if we lose Friday I won’t be. Then if we beat someone like Bama in a big bowl I would be ok.

    losing to the _ucks is never acceptable

    I hated losing in 1987 and 1988 as a kid. Loser program then, loser program now.

    If we lose on Friday and don’t make the playoffs

    It’s gonna be a mass exodus of who will not play in the bowl game

    Yeah NY6 has turned into the NIT of college football. NOC.

    the playoff has killed off the allure of winning any other bowl game.

    If UW loses to Oregon they will lose their next game. I think once the spell is broken, it's broken.

    Watching penix courageously struggle through injury after throwing amazing dimes not just the first 6 games this year but last year as well has colored the experience and left all of us with an unsettled feeling… need to see this team lift up again, have the feeling that the one month break between games could provide that if we can somehow get to the playoffs…

    NY6 especially against the playin non major 6th team would feel empty, but playing against Ohio State or Alabama / Georgia and showing up and playing well would be a program boost

    The problem is that the bowl matchup would probably be OSU vs Alabama and we would wind up with Texas again, or worse… no Bueno

    How many guys don't play in the bowel?

    Based on this criteria the 2000 Dawgs of War were a disappointment.

    I’ve gone back and forth on this scenario personally. I love the 2000 Dawgs and in the playoff era I’m not sure where I stand between making the tournament and losing or being at the top of the list on the outside but winning.

    This all changes if Oregon wins the NC. It just does.

    If we have to play Tulame or Jerry Falwell U I'll watch, but I won't care.

    Without winning the conference, 12-0 regular season is a pleasant footnote. I don’t like that either but that’s how it works.

    I wont be pissed if the team wins an NY6. That is a huge momentum booster for the program and still means something.

    12-2 would feel hollow.
