How I Rate Teams and Oregon's Place Therein

[blazer prophet]

I'll do this objectively as possible but that's a head scratcher for me.

250 wins the last 25 years, doesn't take a mathmatician to average that out to 10 wins a year.

To only 7 losses, or less than 3 a year.

Bowl game in every one of those years, plus a Natty in 1999 and 2013. Very few down years, but most of those came at the end of the Bowden era. Even so, from 2005 to 2015 had a top ten program in terms of wins.

Either way, still a good spot I suppose

Fair point. Maybe I was too harsh.

lol, all of this just to find a way to diminish all of UW's football history?

Oregon had a little run under Kelly and had no championships. It is what it is. Knight bought you some glory years and now OD can spend hours going back and watching old games on youtube.

And UW had a nice little run under James and a disputed natty (won the lesser of the 2 polls). Not much difference from Oregon save for the arrogance of Husky fans.

They're a bunch of fucking clowns.

The one that gets me is when they post 12 - 1 ... like the UW vs OU series is thirteen years old.

Are you drunk? Seriously don't be posting about Washington if you don't know their history.

First of all, I didn't bring up the past, you did. Second of all you act as though both of those are the same. They are not. UW had a top level program going back well into early days of football. They still hold records for longest games without a loss. Sure, back when they still wore leather, but the point is UW's history goes WELL beyond just what James did while Oregon has like 80 years of being a doormat and 15 or so of a nice little run that didn't produce the ultimate prize.

And yet here you are trying to find ways of making up criteria to list your program over ours and talk of the hubris of others?

To them it is. Most of them didn't even know if a football is pumped or stuffed until about 15 years ago.

So duck fans spend the last decade telling everyone the past doesn't matter. You can't live in your glory days. All that matters is today...

Until the script gets flipped and now it's how do we break down history to still claim relevance after THIS year went tits up for them. NOW history is all that matters.

Sounds about right.

Sort of. You forgot they had to redefine what history is relevant to make it work.

I still can't figure out what 'potato salad' means.

It's a side dish, preferably made with mustard.

I was only 10 at the time, but I do remember it. I just didn't have any appreciation for what Clemson had just accomplished. I've watched it several times as an adult along with some of the other games that season and to be honest, we eeked out a few games that year too. Maybe not as many as we did this year, but still struggled in a few games:

I didn't know Wake Forest had coaches giving out gameplans way back then... just assuming because to have a team put up 82 against you, you are either giving out plays or just plain suck. Either option remains valid.
