Since some of you miserable people like to hold onto screenshots for almost 10 years, that's fine ... but you can lose some of the context
There's no way in 2007 that I was on the Tyrone train ... I thought that his ceiling was going to be 5-4 or 6-3 in the conference. It was more of a statement about where I thought Oregon was going under Belotti ... then Chip happened.
The fallacy is that the Oregon under Chip Kelly was the Oregon that was in place for the balance of the continuing streak ... that's not been the case. After the special Fiesta Bowl season of 2001, Oregon's record from 2002-2007 was 46-29 and only 28-22 in conference on the back of a 7-1 conference record in 2005. Their bowls in that period were the Seattle, Sun, none, Holiday, Vegas, and Sun.
Anybody that claims that they saw an 80-14 record and 55-8 in conference over the 2008-2014 time period with 2 appearances in the National Championship game is fooling themselves.
Just for perspective, since 2009, Washington is 50-41 overall (55% winning percentage). If you back out 2009, the record moves up to 45-34 overall (57% winning percentage). Oregon's winning percentage from 2002-2007 was 61%. To say that a UW 5-7 year dominate run is coming would be as likely as saying that was coming after Oregon's 2007 season.
