    Locker Beat USC twice, won the holiday bowl championship, beat Pete, put the team on his back against tOSU, beat BYU before the refs fagged out and gave us Owen.

    @byu and Nebraska to start his Heisman campaign were games you could say he didn't rise to the occasion. @BYU was a lot to do with play calling if I recall as well.

    Either way im a stalker for Locker and I'll never change so fuck the haters.

    It wasn't just BYU and Nebraska. Locker had a bunch of shitty games.

    Agree. I've never really gotten the Locker bashing. He was easily the best option at the time. Also, anyone who thinks Pete's teams wouldn't have been substantially more competitive so far with him, well ..... you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it, you're kidding yourself if you don't believe it .... Come on ....

    It's not about "bashing" Locker. It's about countering the demiGod status bestowed upon him by the UW athletic department and doogs.

    Seems like most of that eventually died out anyways. I think that, aside from a few funny doogs and a few unfunny doog website admins, most Lockner fans resigned themselves to simply trying to get his good points acknowledged alongside the bad.

    There's still a few doogs even here who think we'd have won the natty with him in 2016, but overall, agree.

    With the Locker any of us ever saw? Haha no

    With the hypothetical Locker that a hypothetical coach would have brought out? Yeah, I guess. He had the physical talent to carry a team at the highest level.

    That hypothetical coach doesn't exist. You can't fix stupid.

    All I'm saying is that there's a possible world where this scenario could exist...

    Every possible scenario can and does exist...except this one. I've checked the math.
