  1. I'll just say that we are shocked. Stupid texts won't stop coming in (UW season ticket holder). Petersen's the kind of guy you actually run into at the grocery store (we don't have HEBs, so they're open). No airs at all, just down to earth and a straight shooter. May be a bit too loyal at times but is loved here, and gets along extremely well with the AD and university president. I hope this is not due to health issues with him or his family.
  2. 1940? Well, yeah - didn't they go undefeated against Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France? Put it on the wall! Or maybe that was somebody else. I can't recall.
  3. I've been to each one of Leach's Apple Cups. It's mindbottling to me that he literally is incapable of changing anything. This was the worst Petersen-coached UW team he's faced - inept offense, very young but talented defense - and yet the "rush 3, drop 8" key to beating him worked yet again. Rick Neuheisel mentioned on his Seattle radio appearance this week that he never changes - at Tceh he had 8 basic plays and he does the same thing at WSU. I could see him being a decent fit at Arkansas for awhile but I'd be fine with him staying at WSU - he won't change enough to beat the Huskies and he gives the Ducks fits. Win-win.
  4. They need to play that shit in Inuvik.
  5. Boo this man. Boo.
  6. Oh HELL no. Sorry Sb... can't stand the Chipster. Got some Duck PTSD from that guy.
  7. Every damn season Chris Petersen has an unexplainable loss. Clearly that was Stanford this year. Congrats, Sbbruin! You've suffered through this whole season and deserve to enjoy the breaking of the streak in a most improbable year to do it.
  8. This. This was the game that killed football.
  9. I liked your first version better.
  10. Go Huskies! Now wondering if I should go back and read this thread.... 😂
  11. Won't happen. This conference eats its own. Every year.
  12. He's waiting until late in the 4th quarter.
  13. UW and Oregon have fairly similar income/budgets. Of course most of Oregon's cash comes from one guy, but money is money. I'd imagine UCLA is a bit higher than that. Colorado's is lower. Chip's problem may be that UCLA (or Colorado, UW, Texas, etc.) won't play the SEC way as far as recruiting and the like, and Oregon will and does. He not only took over a program in much better shape at Oregon, he was almost certainly given a freer hand there by the administration. UCLA and UW have nearly identical football histories but the UW has gone from the top to the ultimate bottom and back up again in the 20 years since UCLA has won the conference. UCLA should always be 2 through 4 in the conference and competing for #1 with USC, as should UW and (ugh) Oregon at least while Uncle Phil draws breath. Problem is that Stanford, Utah, and WSU have been coached up above their historical standards, and USC and UCLA have not.
  14. Go 'Clones! (Dead duck is always in style... nice job, Al!)
  15. Go Paladins! Lived for a while in Greenville, SC - Furman's a good school with a beautiful campus. Plus you can get "FU" caps at the bookstore there.
  16. Fuck lightning delays. That is all. (at least this game won't finish at 1:30am)

    I Know Haiku

    I have seen the ants They seem to have a good time Jesus. I've seen things.
  18. Huh. I'd have assumed you could just sell that stuff by the jar. In some places, anyway.
  19. Go figure, ESPN screwed up. They're actually AT Washington on 9/28. Brutal opening schedule.
  20. UCLA was the UPI poll national champion in 1954 (Ohio State was the AP's champion). So, at least they have 15 years on A&M....
  21. What is amazing to me, someone who grew up watching Terry Donahue and Don James battle it out with each other and with USC year after year, is that UCLA hasn't won the conference since 1998. That's stunning.
  22. Buck up SB. At least Tyrone Willingham is not your coach .
  23. Highest pre-season ranking? They finished #2/4 in 2008, IIRC. Go Utes!
