What people forget about Don James

[whlinder]

we’re not .700 all time against the Cuog?
JFC fire everyone

sark to DeBoer (Inc Jimmy) were .857.

That was a good run.

Moving forward losing to the Coug should be inconceivable.

My quip aside, it does highlight how significantly Cuog has fallen from their peskiness in the 80s and 90s, since it isn't like we set the world on fire in the 2000s. Cuog has popped a couple of years of course, and nearly beat MPJ, but they're not nearly the threat from the James era.
Now just need to make the Apple Cup a permanent home game.

So James coached 3 times as many games which is why he is close to the mean over time
It's science

By Yella's rationale, Pete would have gone 18-0 vs CUOG

It’s not hard to envision Pete going 18-0 against Coug. Now Cal on the other hand…

 

[HuskyJW]

And Jedd's 0-1 and got embarrassed.
Which is the primary reason why it's going to be ugly.

I hope so….. I don’t know why I feel like this game is gonna be close from start to finish

Those pesky Cougs of the 80s and 90s beat some decent to good UW teams.
Post 1997 Rylan Leaf, the only Coug team to beat a ranked UW squad was 2012 when we were #25. And that was just some Sark being Sark garbage.

 

[haie]

People forget that Don James wasn't a giant turn the other cheek fucking pussy about the cougs.

 

[Doogles]

Sounds like it might be time for the D-word

Why are we playing at Coug when last year's gayme was supposedly neutral

Why are we playing at Coug when last year's gayme was supposedly neutral

Because UW has done every single thing to help them outside of directly paying them 10 mil a year in cold hard cash.

Last year was the final year of the revenue-share agreement where UW and Wazzu would split home ticket sales. Since it was slated to go to Wazzu, both UW and Wazzu realized it would be much less than splitting Qwest Field or whatever it's called now.

This is the first year under a new contract where Wazzu keeps all their ticket sales and UW keeps all our ticket sales. So the series is now positive by keeping 70k ticket sales instead of splitting 105k with Wazzu

 

[haie]

Makes sense considering that the cost of that game alone + room and board in Bellevue was the cost of a single 300 level season ticket.
Although I'm sure that German beer hall is lit af right now with the Mariners in serious contention.
