Do you think this just happens by accident?

And Gil before that.

Upper campus has always been envious the the football program can just play itself to the top of the pile.

It takes it's academus little brother syndrome out on the sports programs.

I think saying DJ @DerekJohnson was "poised" to go to 4 to 6 Rose Bowls in a row is assuming a lot. There's no doubt in my mind he wins more Rose Bowls and potentially another NT if he stayed 10 more years.

But at the same time conference opponents and the sport as a whole start to adapt and find ways to beat you. It's hard to go to 4 to 6 straight Rose Bowls. There was already a drop off with the 1992 team which still lost to Arizona, Coug and gave up 38 to Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Yeah they had some distractions, but they also had a back up QB who was a future 4 x NFL pro bowler.

What happens is Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, USC and UW are all trying to be "Ohio State"?

I'm down here breading 6'9" kids and spending money on youth sports ball like a drunken sailor and you guys are talking to me about "voluntary low expectations"?

Fits and starts… the lack of consistency keeps killing UW. No reason UW can’t be a top tier legit contender every year. To get there, we need consistent quality leadership. That’s it.

James → Lambo → Neuheisel → Gilby → Ty → Sark → Pete → Jimmy → DeBoer → Fisch

Too inconsistent to be a consistent winner. Despite all of this, the program continues to make playoffs, win NYD bowls, NC game, etc. That’s why you can demand excellence.
