I can't even imagine the qookiest of qook argument Oregon was relevant before 94. They had two seasons where they finished ranked before that in the history of the program, and they were in the 40s and 50s and they weren't particularly astounding. Even 94 isn't much compared to what they've done since Chip got there.
That program is also in a 10x better place than it was in the rest of the 90s, where they weren't great either. Their best season was 95 where they got assblasted in the Cotton Bowl.
UW has to have their shit together to win in the rivalry. They haven't won a game in it while not being on point since 2003.
Here's my quibble…. you say winning got Sux to the top. But before that, it was Oregon's uprecedented tackiness, billboards in times square hyping B- talents, Phil forcing OU merch into stores around the country if you wanted to carry Nike, SEC levels of illegal payments, and a fuckload of paid native OU promotion all over sports media…. that laid the foundation for Chip Kelly to succeed. In other words, it was a shit ton of corruption, coercion, planted media, and shitting on standards that got OU to the table - that they never organically deserved to be at due to their shitty talent base and shitty academics and methy campus - Before they could win with Kelly.
Thread got retarded, but to answer the original question no they aren't going away because they are really good at or they at least spend enough on:
Transfer portal talent acquisition: They are much better at it than other schools that seemingly spend on their level. There's no doubt that the Tulane rb will be a top 3-4 back in conference. Pulling him makes having Jonah seem like not as big of an advantage.
Roster Management: kind of goes along with #1 but they either develop a rando guy out of nowhere or fill in their roster holes nicely from the portal every off-season. The 4-7 win UW teams it's usually one position that they just fail to even mildly patch, by comparison.
Staff turnover: Relatively stable, from an outsiders perspective anyways, and that helps with the above two points as well.
I'm never going to be convinced that a large part of our? anguish, whether you want to talk about teams 2-minute drilling us with fucking inside runs or losing to mother fucking Montana, Petersen owns most of that.
All he had to do was go to AD/UC and tell them that everybody outside of Malloe and Kwiatkowski is fucking calcified and to go rebuild a new staff potentially keeping just those two guys. He also could have just not been a bitch and won a NY6 game before handing the program to someone else. He could of done a lot of things besides quit at 1am during a thunderstorm against a dead program in 2019.
Going back to over a decade ago, UW has hit on 2/3 head coach hires and Fisch is TBD while having a legitimate recruiting class. The 1 bad hire was given just 13 games and fired in the middle of the season after losing to his rival by 8.
These are just facts. I can separate the 2000's UW from the era we're in now where AD's are staring down at the void if they don't get their shit together.
We can never praise Ruperake enough. We were probably headed back to 2000s level drek and another Duckade had we not had a reason to fire Jimmy that quickly. Things may have actually been worse than the 2000s.

I was complimenting your school, but great essay. Sorry you disagree with the year your program became relevant. Not sorry about 2023. Fag.

Even in 94 they lost to Utah and Hawaii
Little brother syndrome and awfully defensive. dud2dud
Coward doogs hate facts. I didn't state an opinion, I stated reality.

UW is retarded more often than not.

Sure, but the retardation goes back 30+ years.

As a long time critic I agree that post Petersen hire is quite different from the first 15 years this century
And it would be even better if Petersen hadn't melted against Oregon and then quiet quit
DeBoer was an excellent hire. We'll see on Fisch but at the time it made sense
Yeah I mean, we made the popular hire by people that followed the Pac 12 religiously.
I'm glad we don't have the Kansas/KSU coach, that low-key feels like giving up. No way those guys can pull this class.
