Our biggest worry regarding the Huskies was if we were going to lose both JMac and Polk to the draft.

What a difference a fortnight makes.

    By 88 I would have fired Don James

    93 probation

    2000 Rose Bowl

    2002 Rick fired and the dark decade plus begins

    2016 playoffs part of 3 straight NY6 Bowls

    2020 Jimmy Lake hired

    2022-23 25-3 Sugar Bowl win national runner up

    Today


    Is there any program that comes close to the wild UW rollercoaster of the last 50 years? We? have been to the top of the mountain and to the absolute bottom of the septic tank.
    No. UW is one of a kind.
    Thanks to my Dad for introducing me to UW football. It's like having a bipolar wife.
    Which Dad?

    I really got truly invested in 2000. Since then I've been through:

    -Coach getting fired for gambling on March Madness
    -Said coach getting replaced by a failure who went 1-11
    -Hiring another failed coach who eventually goes 0-12
    -Jimmy Lake
    -Getting to the natty and completely unraveling days later
    -Oh, and your has a blank checkbook and they eventually make blank checks legal

    Removing the interim tag from Gilby is guillotine worthy. Replacing Gilby with Willingham deserves a long, painful, drawn out agonizing death that I’d pay $5 a day to watch.

    Nebraska probably

    90s - 6 orange bowls, 3 NC, 3 decades of never finishing unranked

    2002 - 2012 - shaky 9-10 win seasons with Bo Pelini, some unranked but mostly finishing just outside top 20

    2013 - present - havent finished ranked in over a decade, since 2017 they haven't gone to a bowl game and their average wins per season is 5...
    Nebraska the past 20 is a sad existence. They haven't had the true lows Washington has but they certainly haven't had the high level success. Michigan ironically had a similar situation before the past few years. Throw Miami in there as well.

    I recall thinking after gilby's 1-10, "fuck I'm glad that's behind us". Little did I know that the program was going to spend the next 4 years in the prison laundry room

    Good call. While not suffering the pains of truly fucking terrible teams, it could be argued that 20+ years of lambo level mediocrity might be just as bad

    I'd easily take what UW has gone through with those horrible lows over Nebraska's just perpetual below averageness and occasional average or above average.

    Over the last 20 years, Nebraska had 10 winning records vs UW's 13.

    UW had 6 seasons in a row without a winning record versus Nebraska's current streak of 7

    Nebraska hasn't had a season over 0.750 in the last 20 years whereas UW has had 5

    So yeah, it's a no brainer, even with our darkest decade
