DOOMED.

It feels like you're twisting what I've said at the start of of this thread which is to say I don't care if Phil "buys" Oregon a Natty. The rules are the rules. UW could spend $23 million a roster if they got their shit together, but it's easier if you have one guy willing to make it a reality with the biggest brand in sports ball.
Phil Knight being a Duck alum is like all the dinosaurs dying in one spot if the Arabian desert. It's an accident of history and no sense (for us?) complaining about it. Some tribes just get lucky.

Look I get it, you're fully invested in your belief that Dan is a mediocre coach who just happened to get a golden ticket while Chip came in and built it up from nothing. It just doesn't happen to be true. Phil has been showering Oregon with cash for pretty much anything they could possibly want since the early 2000. Stadium expansion, practice facilities private jets for recruiting, all of that was available before Chip arrived. Dan was a first year head coach who went who 10-3. I know you guys still like to dick ride Deboer, but he could have very easily lost two of those 3 games against Oregon. Really the only reason you guys still blow him is because he beat Oregon. Hell Bill and haie are still sniffing his jock trying to taken in some of the glory on the games he wins now.

"Financial support" pre-N.I.L. pay for play era college sports is chicken shit compared to its importance now.

Disagree
The amount kids were getting would shock you

And if we're honest UW bought 1991
The only crime is not doing it more
Washington fans weren't talking like this last year. But I do believe the comfort zone for most Husky fans is to whine about Oregon or whoever is winning
Dawgman.com was filled with posters who piously stated their desire to lose rather than be like Oregon
They often get their wish

If Dan Landers wins the CFP, I'll upgrade him to GOOD coach status, and we can move on from him going 1-4 against Smith and DeBoer.
It's true that Chip stepped into immense resources but the great leap forward wasn't happening with Mike or any other random guy.
It took some chubby, unheard of mad genius from NH to shake up the game.
-
That's haie's line. And if you're repeating haie's excuses you're losing. You were ass raped. You rushed for less than 50 yards while they ran it down your throats for 303. You were beat as badly in that game as we were by Ohio State in 2014. They beat the shit out of both your offensive and defensive lines.
-
Right but you also said something along the lines of CK would have been the only time we did it the right way. Which is untrue because you were all saying it was only because of PK at that time.
Certainly you’ve realized this is real life and what happened is what happened. Phil Knight founded Nike at Oregon. Some guy randomly built a school in Los Angeles, Henry Ford turned the upper Midwest into an industrial capital and Texas is full of oil.

I want the AT&T football phone.

Well who the fuck is stopping mighty Washington for playing by the same rules Oregon is playing by now? Stop whining, it's unbecoming.
-
Haie's his own man. I was sitting in Bew Pub in Salem, Or last Saturday night watching the B1G Championship with my Dong James era hat worn proudly.
Penix had a way of overcoming situations like that, however, and hope remained for a long while in that game. A 1 score game is still a one score game even when you're getting raped on the lines.
-
I have faith UW will adapt do what needs to be done to remain competitive with Oregon.
-
You guys lost just as badly if not worse than we lost to Ohio State. In fact the difference in yardage was closer in our game than it was in yours. We were ass raped and so were you.
-
I have faith that the ass kicking you received two Saturday's ago will be fairly common for the next few years. Oregon has a 38 year old Nick Saban leading their team. You better pray that he decides to leave for the NFL.
-
I felt like Oregon was in that game until the end of the 3rd if I recall correctly. It was 9:44 in the 4th when Ohio State put it away.
-
Because we couldn't stop the run and they ran it down our throats. Sensing a theme here?
-
Let's let things play out out before you crown Lanning.
-
Sure but getting ass raped on the run can be overcome. If a game is tight score wise, then it's still a tight game.
I can recall Oregon "ass fucking" Washington on the ground in 2022 at Autzen.

If you want believe that you were competitive in that game be my guest. You were ass fucked, and you appear to have liked it.

nice pull. Legit laughed

Who wouldn't want to own this piece of history?
-
The sport sucks. They must be using NFL ratings math. Most of my friends watch way less football than they did 10 years ago.
-
I was. Florida State got screwed.
-
Well there's a data and fact based opinion. Bill and his pals watch less football, therefore the sport is less popular.
Dipshit is too kind a description for what you are Bill.

It's not surprising.
The 12 team play off is ideal content for the hoi polloi, casual fans.
And even the luddite, purist fans like me are still watching the games.
If I was a Duck alum, I'd still hate Dillon Gabriel's journey through college football, and then love him for winning the Natty.

Trophy Case Superiority Guy heard from

I'm not going to hyperlink that.
Figures lie and liars figure. Didn't you learn anything in the Tug, Bobby?

"We're doing it the right way" has always been a disease around here. Like, when UW was really fucking good when I was an undergrad there, it was hide your daughters time all the time and that's no lie. Campus was different in those days. No internet though. Different tims.
There is, I believe, still a critical mass of the fanbase that wants UW to play ball, literally and figuratively. I think the "we're a classy program," "we're above all that," crowd are mostly on the internet and don't really know what they're talking about. And even they would don't really care for real - it's just a turd to throw.
Don't forget, this whining goes back a long ways. Does anyone recall Arrogant Bill Walsh throwing UW under the bus during his second tour of duty at Stanford? He said SC was even worse and pointed back to his first run with Furd, during which, he alleges, SC's entire roster was on the payroll. Or some shit like that.
This sport hasn't been clean since Princeton and Yale were dominant forces.

Gil Dobie paid players
If Oregon wins it all we're going to find out how big money feels about the program when they storm the castle at Montlake

Do we really need Zero to win to know ??
I’ve got the Under..
