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

I'm having trouble coming to grips

with the fact that we're 4 quarters away from the opportunity to negate everything that's happened since college football was invented in 1994. I doesn't seem real and yet here we are.

The mood in Eugene at present...

    I feel the same. We won and I’m happy we won but *what* have we won? What gets me more excited is knowing we have a coach who wins, a football program that’s improved their NIL over time and a president who seems to think AND care. That is a foundation for sustained high levels of success and not whatever TCU did last year.

    I don’t think they’re dumb enough to let Deboer go, but if Michigan opens up and they still keep him, that would do it for me in terms of believing in their commitment

    We have to win this. This is it. Just one more game, and we'll win a fucking national championship.

    I started watching the Huskies during the Lambright years. All I ever fucking hear from older fans is how awesome the 1991 team was. How awesome it was they won the natty. Emtman this, Mario Bailey that. Blah blah blah, Don James. Truthfully, I love hearing about it. But I want to experience a championship with my fully-developed adult brain. Let's fucking do this.

    Definitely in this boat. The Iowa Rose Bowl was when I first really became interested. I was like 9 and didn’t know the nuances or understand how truly special it was. UW proceeded to win a lot for a few more years and I just took that for granted as a kid who didn’t know anything else. I have clear memories of that team and know that nothing will ever be quite as good as when you were a kid, but definitely want that experience as someone with an almost fully formed brain.

    What's already happened is that the program is the healthiest it's been in years, has been configured to benefit from modern college football rules and the changes in TP and NIL, and has collected a new generation of fans that Petersen couldn't get.

    103-11 already won the Forever Pac 12 trophy and now has a chance to win the B1G all in the same year. Fuck Blue

    Completely agree.

    Edited for true context. :wink:
    Oh the irony...

    Your Natty winning QB getting a 50K loan to buy a shitty @BleachedAnusDawg IROC Z seems so quaint and innocent now a days.


    Those old IROC's now sell for more money than they should have any right to, IMO, but they were good looking for the era. Definitely cooler than a shitty 5.0 Fox Body. I would not drive any Camaro built between 1973 and 2015, though. The OG was the best era even if they're slow turds by modern standards.

    My Daddy drove an 1967 Z28 his Jr/Sr year at UW.

    His daddy was a Chevy dealer, but still.

    First game I ever watched was losing the nattie to ucla in 1990. For whatever reason something clicked and I became an addict. Lambo years were tough. Cauce is the football president we needed all along. Let Jen walk just like Woodward gladly let sark 'slip away'. Everything has turned to gold recently.

    Serious question, a 302 powered Z28?

    Correct. They only made like 600 of 'em in 1967.

    He should have found a way to keep the car.

    His prior ride was a 1966 Chevelle SS with a 396. Bench seats with 4 speed manual.

    DeBoer is staying at UW or going to the NFL. I think the NFL could happen in 2-3 seasons, but he'd be smart to bank $25 mil or more from a massive UW contract before taking an NFL pay cut.

    I'm about to type heresy. DeBoer might be as good as or better than Don James. Time will tell. Among the things that really separated James from many other coaches were his ability to adapt, his attention to detail, an incredible work ethic, personal accountability, his ability to coach the coaches, and the respect he garnered from players, coaches, even Presidents of the United States (R.I.P. Ronnie). DeBoer has a lot of that going on. Regardless, if DeBoer sticks around, and UW isn't thunderfucked by a jealous conference, we're all in for a helluva ride. Cheers young Dawg.
    It is a well-established Iron Law that Don James gets worse the further away we get from his tenure at UW. Race wanted him fired in Year 3, despite a Rose Bowl win.

    I've never driven a muscle or sports car in my life. Sad.

    But the tech has changed so much over the year that I think our Audi mommy wagon is faster than almost any 60s muscle car.

    That was not to take away from Don James. He was one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. It was a compliment to DeBoer who has so far been exceptional. It's only his second season as HC of a P5 program, so we'll see how he fares going forward, but all signs are he has a very high floor and maybe a nearly non-existent ceiling.

    If we beat Michigan, DeBoer will have completed the greatest head coaching achievement in the past 40 years of college football and it's not really close. Dabo took a lot longer to get Clempson over the hump.
    Also with the whole 4/5 star ratio thing, dude pretty much nickled and dimed a naty
