My Doog take is mainly based off Dillon was essentially an extra OL in pass protection all year.That's a good one, but UW's offensive line played like pussies so I don't know that a healthy Johnson makes a big difference.
Mine is that if the scrub backup RB catches the wheel route in the Natty, UW wins. I don't even remember what the score was at the time, but that was soul crushing. UW could not find the one big play when they needed it.
What if UW doesn't travel back and forth to Seattle for academis reasons and just stays in the souwf between bowl games?For a game we lost by 20, the Michigan game has a shit ton of what ifs, and some that aren't super doogy?
What if Johnson isn't hurt?
What if Alabama gets that last yard to beat Michigan?
What if Michigan still had a way to steal plays and it should legit get taken away?
What if they don't throw the BS holding call on Rosengarten?
What if they call holding on the play where the guy held ZTF?
What if Nixon doesn't drop a wide open big play?
What if DeBoer wasn't distracted by Alabama?
What if Penix just locks into Rome and lets him win the fucking game?
What if?
What about this? After a magical 2000 run - Neuheisel gets hired by an NFL team and then Pinkel comes from Toledo instead of going to Missouri. Pinkel decides he's ready to retire in the mid-2010s and Petersmann takes over.Instead of hiring Rick in 1998, UW chooses Toledo coach Gary Pinkle who leads UW to 15 years of relevance and winning. USC, UW and Oregon slug it out for the first 7 years then UW, Oregon and Stanford jockey for titles the last 8. Oregon never hits the heights they did because UW would have been in their way on the field and on the recruiting trail.
I think Neuheisel was a great coach. I was glad he was ousted by UW over nothing. Seminal moment in UW football history. Set UW back 15 years, if not to this day.Instead of hiring Rick in 1998, UW chooses Toledo coach Gary Pinkle who leads UW to 15 years of relevance and winning.

He was great with the tuff minded Lambo guys. The team was getting pretty soft when he got ousted, but yeah, uw really fucked that up.I think Neuheisel was a great coach.

That’s best of all worlds. I’ll take it.What about this? After a magical 2000 run - Neuheisel gets hired by an NFL team and then Pinkel comes from Toledo instead of going to Missouri.

Not sure if this was serious but do yo mean when he was hired as OC or promoted to head coach?Chip Kelly was only offered Oregon job because UW was sniffing around.
Could have been us.
