We have a ruling

By 2021, you'd gone through the 0-12 season, and the 12 years in a row. Things had changed. But in 2005 the glory of being "Northwest Champs" was still fresh. You were trying, doesn't mean you didn't suck at trying but you were trying.
-
Learning from past mistakes is a form of trying harder.

You guys were eating this shit up. White savior mentality was in full force.
For a school that has sometimes struggled to connect with the African American community, it felt like a significant moment, which the UW recognized by soliciting comments in support of Willingham's hiring from Jesse Jackson and other black leaders.
"I think it speaks well for our university that race is not an issue," Romar said. "There may have been racial issues in the past at the University of Washington, but I think we're headed away from that direction. I think those in the community need to look at that and see the statement that is being made right now. You need to start somewhere, and we've made a start as a university to resolve that."

I remember some of you cunts on Dawgman wetting yourselves when he said this.
"It is time for the University of Washington to return to being the Dawgs. ... That is a vicious animal," he said.

You're trying really hard to convince yourself of this, Bob. The early 90s and before don't matter.
-
Bob hates Washington. Absolutely HATES them.
-
Yeah, it's very tough for me to convince myself that you guys aren't a steaming pile of shit this year. Just like you've been a steaming pile of shit 9 years out of the last 25. But, but, what about when we were good before the internet!!!!
-
I agree you're now trying harder, after we embarrassed you for 12 in a row, but that doesn't mean you weren't trying before.

True. I'd say the conference championship is on the way out with the rest of the traditional measures
Win the championship. Nothing else matters
If it hadn't been Oregon last year's conference championship for Washington would be headed to the dustbin. 14-0 then we? suck
Penn State and Ohio State fans are happier today than the fans of the team that beat them
-
Yes, but if you get the clean sweep that’s the fucking Death Star on display in the athletic center.
-
The games make no sense, other than the fact that they make the Conferences a shit ton of money. For that reason, they're going nowhere
-
Gilbertson was the lazy assistant hire after they railroaded Rick because he lied about the 69er interview and he was slick Rick for reasons. I have no idea why they hired Willingham after he failed at Notre Dung and couldn't even get top 20 classes. Nobody in their right mind would say Warshington has been more successful than the Yucks this century, but for the 1,000th time, it's another cherry picked timestamp to make Oregon look like some West Coast juggernaut. USC is the only blue blood in the west.

Is English not your native language Bill?

So, like being in the first row behind first class.

-
another white flag

fair.
But at the same time stacking the most air miles and the most likely to be the next school to break through.
Winning a national championship is a lot harder now than it was 30 years ago.I honestly can’t even think of the last school that won their first national championship. Florida in 96?
-
Florida State when Bobby finally broke through - 99?
Oregon reminds me of Clemson under Dabo. Keep swinging the axe and he got a couple in several play off appearances, Clemson had won one in 81 or so but Oregon fans don't count that of course because it wasn't in a 12 team playoff
-
And it took generational quarterbacks which is the rule not the exception. Watson and Lawrence. They have stepped back with the guys that followed
-
It is indeed Florida 96
-
Oh so you mean business class?

Bobbeh won his first in 93 with Chuck Ward.
Still lost at ND that year, tho.
-
Bowden and James were hired within a year of each other
First
-
Don was 19-13 in his first 3 years at UW.
Also 21-13-1 in the 3 year run up to his early 90s 2 year stretch of dominance.
James enjoyed 5(?!) 10+ win seasons over his 18 year run in Montlake.It takes time. And sometimes it takes time again.
-
*3 year stretch of dominance
-
1990 - 10-2 Rose Bowl W
1991 - 12-0 Rose Bowl W
1992 - 9-3 Rose Bowl L
I’m not sure 3 losses(one of them to the Coogs) is dominance but perhaps I have higher standards than you lot.
-
3 straight conference titles. 3 straight Rose Bowls. That's pretty dominant.
The wheels came off 1992 for obvious reasons, but that squad was rolling until the suspension.
-
3 straight Rose Bowls pre BCS was pretty rare
-
especially with the antiquated tiebreaker rules.
-
Head to head was the tiebreaker. 2 were outright
Not following
-
I thought it was who had the longest rose bowl drought but looks like that was only for the big ten
