I'm 54 and have a good memory of most of the dark years. And yes, it is different now. Our players are much better now. In 1979, for instance, half of the current roster would be somewhere else because of the higher scholarship limits. And it's part of the reason why a change has to be made this year and not next. After a one or two win season, we will not be competing against Arizona, Washington State, and Utah for recruits. We will be going against San Jose State, Montana, Idaho, and New Mexico State. The current group of players could win five games next year with quality coaching. If you took the roster of one of those four schools listed later, it is a long and painful re-build job. We are already there. And we never REALLY left. |

I had the choice of fishing Saturday or Sunday.
I shocked everyone by picking Saturday because who wants to watch this live?

Me! Still! It's a sickness. I'll be sitting in the stands having a great time... it may just be before and after the game... but, "Friends, Family, Fun" is the new motto here for the remainder of the GAG era. |

Hah, you guys are taking me back to some painful, yet fun times. I was at the Montana game.....still remember how the Grizzlies celebrated coming up the ramp. Anyone else remember the 1990 game in the rain against UNLV? I was a freshman that year I believe.....that was a painful one.
One of my faves was the 1991 game against UW I believe....they were rated #1....we took an early 3-0 lead, but then went on to lose 58-3 or something. I had a 40 of Hamm's in my pants, which security promptly took away....we went over to that little market behind the stadium at halftime and got more...is that place still there? Funny thing is, the losing didn't bother me back then like it does now....hmmm.

Ahh, the good/bad old days - Boda Bags and arriving half-potted from Friday night to begin with, and shouting "Rose Bowl!" whenever we managed to make an actual first down......

Funny thing is, the losing didn't bother me back then like it does now....hmmm. 1991 Washington was ranked #3 behind #1 Florida State and #2 Miami, who played what would later be called Wide Right I that day. Miami wound up winning the AP National Championship by 2 votes, whereas Washington won the UPI Coaches Poll National Championship by 4 votes. Oregon State entered last in total offense in Jerry Pettibone's first year, and Washington's defense entered first in rushing and total defense, second in scoring defense, and first in turnover margin. The Huskies fumbled on the second play of the game at their own 17 on what was supposed to be a screen pass. On 3rd and 13, J.J. Young broke off what initially appeared to be a 14-yard gain, but was correctly ruled out at the 16, after a more-modest 4-yard gain. The Beavers converted the 33-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead. Washington responded with an 11-play 78-yard drive for a touchdown. Oregon State's first offensive play was option left, which Washington was able to knock loose for a fumble into the end zone. Paulson was able to jump on the ball for a safety. The Huskies returned the free kick to the Beaver 49. Three plays later, Washington scored a second touchdown to go up 16-3. Washington poured it on with two more first half touchdowns to go up 30-3. Washington blocked the ensuing punt, recovering the ball at the Oregon State 12. Three plays later, the Huskies scored a touchdown to go up 37-3. At that point, Washington out-gained Oregon State 260-(-1). Oregon State responded with an 11-play, 56-yard drive that featured a 4th down conversion on the Beaver side of the field to set up a 41-yard field goal with 2:31 left in the first half to pull within 31. The Huskies drove 72 yards on eight plays in 1:23 to go up 44-6. On the ensuing kickoff, the return-man accidentally slipped in the rain at the one-yard line. Oregon State gained a yard on first down but fumbled on second down. The Beavers was able to recover the fumble at their one. Washington classily allowed the clock to run out in the first half. Washington out-gained Oregon State 332-55 in the first half. Besides the 56-yard field goal drive, Oregon State's six other drives netted -1 yards and all either resulted in a three-and-out or a safety. In the second half, Washington substituted out most starters but still were able to outscore Oregon State's starters 14-0. The loss remains the most lopsided loss in Corvallis since John Elway and Stanford defeated Oregon State 63-9 in 1981. What is astounding is that Washington defeated Arizona by 53 (56-3) and defeated the best Kansas State team since 1954 by 54 (54-0). (1991 was Bill Snyder's third year coaching Kansas State.) |

I won't be surprised if we play a competitive game on Saturday...but also won't be surprised if we get boat raced in the first half Agree, but if I'm a betting man, I put my money on the latter. |

I won't be surprised if we play a competitive game on Saturday...but also won't be surprised if we get boat raced in the first half I will. We can't generate a pass rush. Our 1st string secondary has not performed well to date, and our 2nd string will be starting this game. We refuse to run the ball and own time of possession, meaning when we get stopped repeatedly and go 3 and out, Wazzugly is more than happy to take the ball and score again. Our offense can't stay on the field, our defense can't get off. Nothing I've seen in the previous 3 weeks, our have heard from the coaches this week, leads me to believe we have any chance at being competitive this week. And, our previous three opponents were all worse teams than the Cougs. We're in trouble. |

I've said this to other posters and I will say it to you: I can't "like" your post because the reality of it appalls me, but I will say that I agree with your analysis. My biggest fear is how often we have seen opposing WR's wide open over the last 3 games...Our DB's are completely out of position far too often. That's not a good thing against a team that throws it all over the field and is still able to disguise what they are doing. |

I'm pretty sure this Husky team included all time college stud Steve Emtman at D tackle who destroyed us at will.
The Standford game will forever stand out in mind as the perfect example of how overmatched we were often during those years. Elway looked like he was calling plays in the huddle (go down a take a left at the garbage can and I'll hit you) and he was throwing long on target passes to open receivers all day long. That was back in the day I was still using my SB card to sit in the student section. As often the case back in those days it was more a drinking event than a sporting event. Sad to say this beginning to feel familiar.

On the bright side - there is no longer a Bottom 10 article in the Sports Section each week. On the dark side - We can no longer say; We're number 1 in the Bottom Ten. I actually do not remember if we were ever Number 1 in the Bottom 10, but, we were in the mix every week for many years. |

Pretty sure we had a year that we dominated that poll much of the season. I want to say us and Kansas State switched back and forth for about 2-3 years. Oregon was right up there for a while as well before Brooks finally got it going.
