Are we all in agreement?

    If we win this week, are the 2023 huskies the greatest Pac 8/10/12 team of all time?

    (Excluding 2023 Oregon,of course)

    15-0. Not even a debate. Only retards care about style points against mediocre/bad teams.
    Oregon/Nike/ESPN/Cowherd catching the ricochet shot.

    Clock management vs going for the kill shot. I believe there’s a way to do both but it feel like Apple Cup, Arizona game, 1st Oregon and the Sigar Bowl all had possessions were UW could’ve run some clock, pick up some yards and then get into possession for the kill shot.

    DeBoer and Grubb want what they want though.

    Think we have to accept the good with the bad a bit with these guys. They like to go for the jugular even when it ain't exactly prudent to do so. High risk/high reward big swinging donkey dick stuff. Certainly helps keep Ds on their heels and that effect is hard to quantify. It will bite us someday but I can't argue with the results thus far. Despite all that shit, it mostly was the DJ injury timeout and the punt catch interference that gave those cows a chance. Hard to blame coaches there (except taking knees wouldn't get a player hurt but I digress).

    The jugular in the Sugar Bowl was making Texas choose whether to use its second timeout with 2:40 remaining or let the field goal be kicked with 2 minutes left. There was no benefit to passing there. Two score advantage whether we get a TD or a field goal. What COULD be accomplished was to bleed clock or force the second timeout.

    Coaching malpractice.
    Yeah that pass on the 2nd to last possession goes without saying. A throw out of bounds, no less. Still, a first down there and it's game. I can disagree with passing and understand it at the same time. I have superpowers. I certainly didn't during the game though. I was a mere mortal that evening.

    Get the fuck over it, dude. Was the clock management bad? Yes. Did we still win? Yes.

    If it costs us the natty, we’ll all be losing our shit over it. Until then:

    1. Find your wife
    2. Find a beach
    3. Take a walk
    4. Find some perspective
    5. Profit
    WTF man? We're in a PANDEMIC. Stay home, stay safe.
    Pandemic ended 5/11/23.

    You can leave the house. You can live dangerously.

    Just wash your hands.

    Don James wasn’t one to fuck up clock management.

    I’m still mad.

    I almost like you better in the Tug… Almost

    I’ll “get over it” when I see some sign the staff actually recognizes its clock management performance as a problem. I don’t like playing Russian Roulette with this team’s season.

    We've won multiple games because we played Spin the Cylinder. We ain't 14-0 without it.

    Since Penix threw over 70 percent for 430 yards H is left grasping for something to complain about
