Rose Bowl game thread. dogs vs. THE OSU

[Coug1990]

Well I’m disappointed, because we could have won. But last year if we’d beaten PSU, it would have been a very lucky result. This year we were as good as our opponent. I’m at least gratified at that.

What world do you win? Seriously, halfway through the second quarter, the percentage of uw winning was less than 10%. Even though the uw was scoring late, they were burning clock and the chance of winning was decreasing.

Heck, a uw graduate friend of mine just texted me saying the game was over early. Not everyone is like you.

 

[dgibbons]

I guess the best team in the conference was USC.

Wrong again. We all know who the best team was.

I guess Utah must have won last night then.

 

[Coug1990]

Guess you didn’t watch the first half.

It's worse than that. He apparently didn't watch the first three quarters. A uw friend of mine texted me that OSU let up in the fourth quarter.

UW is a good team. Not a great one. Will they now become spoilers like Stanford was, winning only the conference games they need to then embarrass the conference in the post season?

tOSU is talented but also got up for this game as it’s Urby’s last. Having said that, UW was pathetic in this one any way you slice it up. Another postseason embarrassment for the PAC.

UW was never in it. tOSU went into prevent offense and defense midway through the 3rd quarter, and just about got burned like the Falcons in their last Super Bowl. Husky fans will remember a “close” UW loss; the rest of the country will only remember a tOSU victory.

 

[HHusky]

Wrong again. We all know who the best team was.

Acknowledging the potential paradox, you’re right.

 

[dgibbons]

I wonder if the huskies think they are better than Oregon or Cal.

That’s a rhetorical question, of course.

 

[Coug1990]

I guess Utah must have won last night then.

Nope, they are a loser like the uw.

 

[dgibbons]

Acknowledging the potential paradox, you’re right.

You just can’t admit it. It’s OK. Denial is part of the process.

I’ll remember the poor offensive game plan that may have cost us a game we could have won.

Obviously I’m being blinded by continually beating you.

 

[kougkurt]

I’ll remember the beat down not bow down that OSU administered when it mattered.

 

[HHusky]

Nope, they are a loser like the uw.

No. I understand that their chances of winning were over 95%. That’s science!

 

[HHusky]

They won. Good for them. They aren’t kidding themselves about the kind of game it was. You are.

 

[kougkurt]

They won. Good for them. They aren’t kidding themselves about the kind of game it was. You are.

Just like practicing your gratefulness, we agree on something. GOOD FOR THEM.

 

[Coug1990]

So, you do understand that the game was essentially over in the second quarter. It really was good that the players played hard until the whistle. How good do you think the uw will be next season? Better, the same or worse than this season?

The Utah game was also over at halftime. ESPN told me.

It’s true the only quality wins Petersen has been able to muster at uw have been the Apple Cups.

 

[Coug90]

Wasn’t the term “garbage time” created precisely for games like this?

 

[HHusky]

We’re your quality loss.

 

[HHusky]

5 point games? No, it wasn’t.

 

[dgibbons]

We’re your quality loss.

Yep. Petersen’s ceiling too.

 

[Coug90]

5 point games? No, it wasn’t.

Yup. Pretty sure when one team racks ip all their yards and points when they are down 4 scores in the fourth quarter and the superior team just wants to get its trophy and go home. That’s called garbage time.

 

[HHusky]

Yep. Petersen’s ceiling too.

Petersen’s ceiling is winning 2 power 5 conference titles in 5 seasons?

How long has CML been coaching power 5 teams? How many titles?

Yup and he did that by winning YOUR bowl game. The AC

HH: Congratulations on what you feel is a moral victory. However you may want to take your lavender sunglasses off, get off this Cougar forum, and look at the ESPN website on the game and the probability of you winning. ESPN stuck a fork in the UW by half time. Even at the end with your 5 pt deficit - game over !

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Someone really should have told Northwestern the Holiday Bowl was over.

Yup and he did that by winning YOUR bowl game. The AC

CML is too good to win the AC.

1-4 in bowl games.

Do you sleep with your Heart of Dallas Bowl replica trophy? Or your OKG teddy bear?

We’ve played quite a few bowl games since WSU last won the AC. Was that your point?

Well we can tell you the RB is over, and it’s an “L”.

 

[dgibbons]

Petersen can only pull one quality win per year in the Apple Cup. That’s his ceiling.

 

[Coug1990]

We’ve lost quite a few bowl games since WSU last won the AC. Was that your point?

There, corrected it for you.

 

[HHusky]

Petersen can only pull one quality win per year in the Apple Cup. That’s his ceiling.

And most years that’s not a quality win either.

 

[CrimsonDisciple]

And most years that’s not a quality win either.

Can you just admit that the huskies let the whole PAC-12 down? Their record in the big games is embarrassing and setting the conference back decades.

Someone ought to unseat us. If they’re better, I mean.

You passed on the rematch.
