Counter to Woolley's post
this one is a bit too easy, but what are the worst UW moments in the P12 era? I'll start with one, allowing others to add their favorite shit moves by our favorite program. I am going to go with Coach Pete's first season and the game at Arizona. Kept running the ball and blamed the fumble and his clock management on the clipboard. Would have been a huge road win against what I remember as being a good Arizona squad. What are some other P12 bed shitting favorites?

Christ. This one isn't even close.

Any of the three plungers Sark took every year.
2014 Stanford
2014 Arizona
2015 ASU2016 USC
2017 Auburn
2017 ASU2018 Cal
2018 Oregon
2019 Cal
2019 Colorado
2020 Rep the North
2021 in its entirety
2022 ASU
2024 Michigan in the natty with a head coach one foot out the door. Inexcusable

I was actually going to do this. You beat me to it.
-
You rang?
-
you would actually not be a lazy fuck such as myself and come up with a decent list
-
any ASU game.
Nevada.
Any bowl game pre 2022
-
2017 vs Stanford and ASU was awful. That offense sucked.
-
Just looking at your list is giving me PTSD. Of the games you list, I was at the following:
2014 Stanford and Arizona2016 USC
2017 Auburn
2019 Cal
2024 Michigan
I might be a fucking jinx on the team. I apologize.

Arizona won the South that year and the South had 3 10 win teams and 2 9 win teams. Pete losing that game might’ve kept USC out of the championship and partially contributed to the demise of the conference as USC beat Arizona but finished 6-3 in conference to Arizona’s 7-2.
Thanks @TheChart
-
the chart game didn't bother me all that much. For some reason. It was dumb, but the team wasn't doing anything after they lost to Oregon anyways.
-
Montana and at least 81% of the losses that involved Stanford, ASU, and Oregon.

Ortege Jenkins flip, and THE snow bowel

Now this is some serious abundance.

Here's my worst and wanted to include stuff that wasn't just games:
- Hiring Jimmy Lake - Lucky it didn't completely tank the program. Even with the heroic turnaround of the past two seasons, the program has issues now because of how horribly he recruited.
- The Great Natty Failure - I'm not complaining about the journey getting there but playing in the biggest game possible and having a coach who was even possibly distracted is cataclysmic. I wouldn't be surprised if down the line everyone looks at the rosters of the two teams and wonders how the hell Michigan won, let alone by 21.
- DeBoer quits - Made so much worse by the above. I don't think we're done but I really think it's possible DB could have put together at least a few more big seasons in Seattle.
- Peterman quits (bonus points for quiet quitting) - I almost think this one is more about Peterman quiet quitting. Did he play a factor in a 2018 team who should have run the table in the regular season losing three games? Not showing up in a Rose Bowl and then the abomination that was 2019. Even if he half asses it through 2020 and 21 and then quits he leaves the program in a much better place.
- 2020 COVID double whammy (Rep The North) - I don't fucking count this season but there's no bigger gut punch than allowing Oregon to go, especially knowing they were going to beat baby shit soft USC. The long term of this wasn't horrible but it stung like shit at the time.
- Hiring Hamdan - Petersen's fatal flaw was not wanting an OC to tell his stupid Boise offense to fuck off. I legit think they could have run the table (regular season) in 2018 if they would have hired a dynamic OC and let him cook. I also just remembered he had never been a D1 OC at that point. My god with the program where it was at that point how do you hire that guy?
- Montana - Again, long run probably good thing to get Lake fired, can't explain how terrible it felt at the time though.
- Peterman kicking field goal to lose to Oregon 2018 - Still forever fuck Larry Scott and the Pac-12 for setting this game up this way. Peterman still should have not played as much for the field goal and went for the win. Still won the conference, but could have slapped three in a row against Oregon and tampered some of their momentum.
- Laitu Latu - We had the nation's best DE on our team and we fucking medically retired him so like the best academis school on the west coast not named Stanford could pass him.
- 2017 & 2019 seasons - Kind of cheating here but overall boy were these fucking joyless seasons.
-
2011 with no love!
-
always losing to Cal.
Seriously refreshing my phone repeatedly in Tiananmen Square in 2018 to see the horror of Haener is something I’ll never forget.
-
how about Jon fucking Donovan?! I know it's on lake for hiring him in the first place but fuck you jon for even thinking you are a 21st century offensive coordinator. I guess some thanks are in order since your terrible 1986 offense assisted in ridding us of Lake but still, fuck you for being so shitty and making us have to watch your 4-8 bullshit
-
I had the pleasure of driving over to 2017 Furd and 2018 Cal. The memories or lack thereof shall last a lifetime.
-
That would test my ability to be a fan. At least you skipped Stanford in 2019. We went and boy that was a terrible football experience.
-
I remember sitting in a Woodinville bar (Pizza Coop) and watching truck racing during the first quarter
-
We need a photo shop of Tank Man holding a phone looking at Hardcore Husky. @RaceBannon can you you do it again?
-
Best I can do is
-
It's more common now but remember that being the first and most stunning case of a guy (Bryce Love) clearly flying on pain killers. He could barely walk at the end of the 2nd quarter and I was like okay this game is basically over because he's done then he came out in the second half and could cary Vita and Gaines on his back no problem. WRs can also shoutout JJ Arcega-Whiteside for pioneering WRs initiating contact adn then just pushing a DB down to make the catch.
-
Wish we had 2nd half Bryce Love against Michigan.
-
2017 Bryce Love on the Huskies the past two years would have been unfair. The guy was scarier than McCaffrey in 2015. One of the most unstoppable players I've ever seen in college football.
-
I was in a Kona bar and watched the same trucks!

No one seems to want to talk about that 2019 loss to Colorado. When Mel Tugger can replicate the Stanford game plan with a bad Colorado team your philosophy has hit rock bottom. The defensive staff of Kwat, Jimmy, Gregory, Terrance and Willup and Milloe getting pushed around and muscled by a shit team and a coach dumb enough to jerk off over the phone with a mentally damaged rape survivor should have been a neon red flag. The evidence was staring me in the face and yet I was excited for Jimmy and Co. to build off the Peterman model. GuntoheadGIF

In reply to @theknowledge. When I first saw 2019 Colorado I didn’t remember that game at all.
Fuck off Vanilla
