    One Natty is all it will take. UW''s return to Elite Status will be retored. Book End Natty''s with a tragic story that included a Black coach "who wasn't treated fairly" will do the trick. Peterman will become USC Pete Carrol. 12''s will burn their jerseys in a sign of KKKOURAGE as the Sea hawks return to Suck and Once again Seattle will become a town where All I Saw Was Purple is uttered at opposing press conferences as they leave town.

    UW is the same level program as Clemson, LSU and Florida.

    We are below the first tier, but we are in the second tier. That's how we got Pete.

    If we had ACTUALLY fallen into the third tier (with teams like Ole Miss and Oklahoma State), there's no way we'd have gotten Pete.

    Those three programs have won natties this century.

    Fuck off with that comparison.

    I like this list:

    I'd take the top 8 as serious Elite schools, but I could see the argument for including Miami and FSU, I just discounted them because their HUGE amount of success is relatively recent (going back to WWI). To me, 10-25 are second tier, and even though they only went to 15, 16-25 would include schools like UW, Oregon, Clemson, Tennessee, Wisconsin, etc.

    Agree. We're definitely Tier 2, say, somewhere between 15 and 20 ish. 1984 really fucked us- i.e., having 1.5 natties since 1980 would really boost the resume. Hell, we'd be tied with USC over the same timeframe (sorry 1979 USC...ha, ha)
    UW fucked itself in 1984.

    This. What other school in the country that hadn't dun better than 5-4 in conference since 2001 could have gotten Pete? The fundamentals were always there to be a top 10- 15 type program and we just fucked it up with decades of gross mismanagement. Look at Nebraska - who's gonna be their savior given the decay of their program?
    I agree that UW has many built in advantages that help it retain a second tier status even during mediocre or worse stretches. It's really no surprise that Peterman was interested in taking the leap. Brand new shiny stadium, a program that has proven it can win at the highest levels, somewhat better than fair to middling talent on the team and expectations that had been tempered by the Gilby/Ty/Sark years. Not saying Peterman is afraid of high expectations, don't twist, don't be a twister, but I am saying that that is an ideal situation to walk into when you plan to blow up everything the fucktard before you was doing. If Pete is who we think he is, UW will regularly contend for conference titles and more. It's looking like it's a good time to be a DaWg .... again.

    Other than the fact that those schools all have recent multiple natties....
