I have to give props to all of you guys that traveled.
As has been said elsewhere, only one legit running back on the roster hurts badly. UW needs more NFL guys on defense and at running back. The D stiffened after the rough start but half of the reason first halves didn't go well for the UW D all season was that they had to sub in inferior players so that the starters could be fresh late.
This isn't *our last crack at it as long as Deboer stays at UW. The path gets easier in a sense as undefeated regular seasons are no longer required. Take advantage of this momentum, the increased NIL money, and the newly minted national brand and start stockpiling depth to compliment guys like DJ, Trice, Tuli L, and Muhammed. Win the next one.

Dillon Johnson had 3.0 YPC.
I have to wonder how much difference he would have made had he been healthy. I still think we lose, but it's probably more competitive. -
DJ hurt restricts the offense and makes the defensive calls so much easier. UW needed a second, all purpose RB who was an equal threat to stuff a blitz, take a handoff or catch it out of the backfield. They would've been better off giving carries to Tybo, but Tybo is inept at blocking and unreliable as a receiver. Nixon just looked like shit at everything.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Dillon Johnson had 3.0 YPC.

It was big. The entire offense seemed to slump their shoulders a bit when he went out after one play, and while they drove down to get 3 points, they never were the same team.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Dillon Johnson had 3.0 YPC.

Glad I went with a great group of Dawgs, but it was pretty miserable after the game ended. NRG is isolated from the rest of Houston. Walked a couple miles in a rain and thunder storm because we couldn’t get an Uber to pick us up. Got fucking obliterated by a car driving through a puddle. Felt like Bruce Almighty when nothing was going his way.
Finally got an Uber. Hilarious big black dude named Irving telling us we need to rally and go fuck some Michigan bitches. Then when we got close to our AirBnB in the third ward he goes forget all that, you guys are in the HOOD. Don’t mess with any of these ladies or you’ll be pissing razors. “Only thing good round here is the chicken”
We did have a good laugh waiting for him to pick us up at a 7-11. Probably 15 Michigan fans waiting in line and they were completely silent. If you didn’t watch that game and saw the two fanbases in that store you’d have no idea who won. I was wondering out loud if when they dreamt about winning the national championship it included waiting in line for a Big Gulp and a pack of smokes, sure wasn’t how I’d be celebrating -
Turned to my rain soaked longhorn wife, wearing my purple sweatshirt under a poncho assessing her soaked cowboy boots and wet hair in the quiet frustration on the metro train, and told her “now you’re a husky”.

That was a real ass Midwest? Storm.. Always thought rolling thunder was just a lyric in a AC/DC song but now I know the sound. I was riding the lightning w/ all the lucky people, sure didn’t feel as good as a win. Houston was great news moar mass transit, Michigan fans were great pre game and dicks post game. Oregon has some competition as best front-running fans in college football. Although Duck fans are constant dicks..

Had the opposite experience. Michigan fans were quiet and subdued. Went back to flying saucer after the game and Husky fans were barking, chanting, and partying and Michigan fans acted like they lost.NookTunnelSyndrome said:That was a real ass Midwest? Storm..

Seattle fans are such participation trophy losers. Then you have seven Seahawks smoking cigars after barely beating a 4-13 team and missing the playoffs, then saying it's for the birth of some player's son, who was born before Xmas. -
