I knew this would be perceived as a doogish
response but I am 180 degrees from doogville.
I don't really care if the comment came from Softy
or the biggest anti-doog on here. The point remains
the same. For the Huskies to eventually become
championship caliber they are going to have to go
through Oregon. If we assume that happens by the
Huskies getting infinitely better while Oregon remains
the same, that is the ultimate in wishful thinking.
Every win for this program is critical at this point,
but I'd gladly give one up if it brought them back closer to
the pack. Yes, ultimately you want to catch up to
Oregon and beat their ass, but them fukking up just
makes that task easier.
This is fucktardly stupid ...
Oregon's a GREAT benchmark for us right now as a fringe National Championship contender most years and the most consistent program in the conference over the last 5-10 years.
My goal is to win conference championships and in so doing contend for national championships under this new system.
Beating Oregon does jack shit if it doesn't mean that we're winning conference championships.
If you told me that we'd lose to Oregon every year but we'd finish 12-1, win the conference, and be in the Final Four Playoff, I'd take that EVERY YEAR.
Getting to, and exceeding, Oregon's level is what we should be aspiring to ... NOT having Oregon fall back to our level so that it is easier to beat them.
