The sobering reality

Rapp wanted us to not stray too far from our roots and keep getting underrated, tuff 3 star kids.

I’m a fan of Stassen (http://football.stassen.com/records/compute-request.html ) and his old school database. No fancy schmancy user interface, but tons of info on his site. In addition to ‘wins since’ there are consensus rankings for every year and then a ranking at the end of each year to see who sucks the worst at predictions and a bunch of other good stuff.
Here’s the table since the invention of football, but he’ll let you go back to 1869 for some reason. Really puts things in perspective. For all the sadness in this thread you’d think this was HardcoreHokie.
As a honorary Ducktard, I concur.

@Canadawg clapping boomer cheeks in this thread. LOL

WE'RE ONLY 20 POINTS BEHIND OSU WHO JUST RAPED US
WOOOF
The situation isn't what it should be but with how much CFB is changing a 5-6 window is most relevant, and we are basically Northwestern/MSU/Wisconsin during that time. We need to be able to compete with tOSU in recruiting, and we aren't. It needs to get fixed.
Not ideal, but the "it's dead" stuff is hyperbolic.
The main thing that has let everyone down is the coach who began building and then quit abruptly. And that's not on UW, that's on him, and the unspoken thing is that like Chip, he's just not a good coach once defenses figure out his offense.
Like has been hinted here, the defense is great and innovative (susceptible to certain positions bottoming out, yes) and Lake was the man behind that, which is why that decision was made in 2019. Along with the elevated DB recruiting since 2014

Fancy coffee, boating to work, and repping some cool kicks! What’s not to like?
Petersen as an organizer and leader is substantially better than Chip. People actually like Petersen.
Chip’s innovating days are over and he now sucks.
Disagree. They weren’t all better than 2016 UW.
Mariota would have made it tough, but our defense was much better than Chip’s defenses, which were mostly underrated defenses and better than they got credit for.

UW fucking sucked for 15 years. Like the worst P5 programs for 7 of them.
WHY ARENT WE AS GOOD AS BAMA AND OHIO STATE?!?!?!?!?! WHERE IS JIM OWENS WHEN YA NEED HIM?!?!?!?!?!?

A few of those Oregon teams lost to Stanford. They always had trouble when they couldn’t gash you on the ground with tempo.
They were very, very good, but 2016 UW is beating at least a few of them. A lot of it would just depend on the day, the momentum, and home field.
