We didn’t. Look at the hires and overall decision making.That's a very convenient cope. You just take all the years you sucked ass and proclaim that you didn't really try in those years so they don't count.No honest fan would. But it’s important to note that UW basically gave up on football for the first half of those 25 years which comprise the bulk of the Duckade. If you go back to the Pete hire which is slightly over that halfway point, UW is 5-6 vs UO. And each school has a couple of CFP runs. Pete’s hire marks the point when things got a bit more balanced. We sucked ass this year, but I don’t see another Duckade being in the cards.There isn't an honest UW fan who would say they'd swap records with us over the past 25 years. It's been an incredible run, I just want it to keep going. How many years has UW had in the last 25 when they already knew the season was a shit show before they even played a game in November?
45* but still…I grew up from 75 to 2000 with 7 Rose Bowls and an Orange
Yes it's in the passed but it was my wheel house. 19 to 35
The Oregon Washington non rivalry over 50 years will be studied by scholars
I’ve made plenty of bad decisions throughout life when I was trying. Some might even say some of my worst.We didn’t. Look at the hires and overall decision making.That's a very convenient cope.

By 2021 UW was willing to “lynch” - as you put it - a POC to try harder at football winning. That’s a big departure from 2007.You were "trying" with Ty, it's just that the desire to atone for your racist past was also involved with the decision to hire him. Many of you thought Ty was a great hire. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Learning from past mistakes is a form of trying harder.By 2021, you'd gone through the 0-12 season, and the 12 years in a row. Things had changed. But in 2005 the glory of being "Northwest Champs" was still fresh. You were trying, doesn't mean you didn't suck at trying but you were trying.
You're trying really hard to convince yourself of this, Bob. The early 90s and before don't matter.25? 30? Just random and arbitrary time periods "cherry picked." Nobody measures things in 25 year time periods.
Yeah, it's very tough for me to convince myself that you guys aren't a steaming pile of shit this year. Just like you've been a steaming pile of shit 9 years out of the last 25. But, but, what about when we were good before the internet!!!!You're trying really hard to convince yourself of this, Bob. The early 90s and before don't matter.25? 30?

True. I'd say the conference championship is on the way out with the rest of the traditional measures45* but still…I grew up from 75 to 2000 with 7 Rose Bowls and an Orange

We’re in hyperspace now where programs can win a conf, rose, sugar and natty trophies in one season.
No country for old men.
The games make no sense, other than the fact that they make the Conferences a shit ton of money. For that reason, they're going nowhereTrue.

Win the championship. Nothing else matters
If it hadn't been Oregon last year's conference championship for Washington would be headed to the dustbin. 14-0 then we? suck
Penn State and Ohio State fans are happier today than the fans of the team that beat them
