Nothing really new but a nice synopsis.

Confidence was high enough that Grubb contemplated making the national championship the stated goal for his unit before the season. He had an idea— start every Sunday meeting with a projection slide of the CFP trophy and a countdown of the number of days until Monday, Jan. 8, the day of the title game. Grubb ran the idea past Petersen, the former Washington coach, who raised a concern—if the Huskies lose, they have to change the message.
Grubb thought about it and made his decision.
“Screw it, we’re going for it,” he said, opting to use the countdown. “Like fourth-and-1 in the Apple Cup, right?”
That was the final part of taking good to great at Washington. They had talented players who had developed and improved.
lol

Tims have changed, and if I went from being a pig farmer living in a car port, to making $2MM a year, I would be letting it fly as well, but Pete has a pooont. Oregon, coaches and players, talked Natty all year. SC, the same. Putting all the eggs in the basket early can be fatal. Two teams, talking Natty or bust (not unrealistic), had their seasons blow up spectacularly (especially SC) because they had no response to it, i.e., busted, TSWO.
I've seen a lot of "1-0" references, and that is the way to go, for me. Be undefeated TODAY, and be present where your feet are. Something I stole from somewhere, a long tim ago..."We don't have to be the best team in the league today, or the state, or the country. Today, the goal is to be the best team on the field". "We" have been the best team on the field 14 times this season...here's to one more "1-0"...
Deboer and the Staff wanted EXCELLENCE instead of settling with a GOOD Husky team.
UW knocked USC out of everything.
Only one conference loss
