It's a message board, it's all there for you to quote and call me on if it was there but you can't because you made that up... I never said Welshers personally attacked anyone, you lied about that to support your attacks on me.
I mean you did say I've been spewing toxicity for weeks which is a straight up lie. But like I said I'd just like to drop it man I tried to explain myself and said I don't want to argue with you.

“Shouldn't take anything away from this team that's made history and had a magical regular season though. Enjoy the accomplishments and don't shit on people so you can get your rocks off...”

Bro, reading comprehension is clearly not your strong suite. That's not saying he's coming in here attacking people with personal insults like you got all high and mighty about and then started doing yourself. That's saying not to come and talk about how crappy someone's team is and try to bring everyone down from their high after a win. You can try to spin it all you want but you're just being petty at this point and trying stick up for your boy despite being wrong.

The dude came in and made a post named "Washington Fraudskies". How is that not crapping on everyone after a win? That's exactly what it is and everyone knows it. Ever heard the term "raining on everyone's parade"???

There's a difference between saying

"This is a good team, but I don't think we are quite playing well enough to hang with Oregon or any of the CFP teams"

Vs

"The Washington Fraudskies. Worst 12-0 in the history of college football"

That said, I have no issue with how Welshers is expressing himself. The Huskies have given me a heart attack here and there. Yesterday was not a fun game at all. The wtf moments didn't stop. Even when we drove down to get into range for a field goal, there were a couple of passes almost picked. Also, why the hell were we throwing the ball in that situation? Trying to keep the Heisman hopes alive? **** the Heisman. Just baffling. Not a satisfying win.

you're correct. I was super reactionary last night after it happened and was overly emotional. I do think the team is very overrated but I was over zealous with my angry post.

Also agree at the end. It was absolutely mind boggling.

Well said. Sometimes emotions win out

I picked up the Sunday Seattle Times this morn and read the Husky articles about the game. I was surprised that there was no mention of just how many self-defeating mistakes the Huskies had to overcome in order to come out with the victory. There was a reason why it took an almost gun-to-the-head gutsy call on 4th down and a last second FG to beat an inferior Washington State team at home.

I mean, I didn't expect the articles to dwell on it, to bring down the elation of a 12-0 season, but I felt the win needed to be more fairly contextualized than it was. For heaven's sake, I was just about screaming at the TV a handful of times, utterly perplexed at the poor decisions being made that were keeping Washington State in the football game when they had no business being so. I wonder what my blood pressure spiked to during a few of those moments. LOL

My family (I’m in Oregon right now) made me watch Colorado. All I could do was check the score

OK my first reaction was way too emotional when I was very angry. They aren't the worst undefeated team of all time. But I don't think they can conceivably compete for a championship.

I know I'm about to get flamed for this but I've said it all season long, they just aren't that good. This team is losing to oregon by 20+. They can't hold a candle to the 1991 Don James team that won a share of the national title. I watched both teams live and in person and that team would win by 20+. I said this about the 2017 team as well that got blown out in the CFP.

Sorry guys but this team is not legit. Barely beat bad teams all year. Scored the least points against one win Arizona state of any opponent. Sucks to say but my hopes are very low.
Stay Salty. 12-0, 19 in a row.

Well, if they lose to Oregon, you can come in here and tell us all how much Washington sucks. Which would be their first loss in 20 games.
Yeah, this team just sucks, so overrated. The obsession with having to win a certain way is laughable :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I never said they suck. But they are overrated in terms of ability to compete with to teams. By like a lot. Just for the record I've followed huskies football for over 40 years!

Vegas seems to agree with me considering they are 10 point underdogs to a team they already beat.

Still a great and fun season. I'm just trying to set some expectations here. They aren't winning Friday

Still has nothing to do with Friday. Still gotta' lace em up. If they lose, they are 12-1 and get a killer bowl game. Oh the horror :rolleyes:
They've knocked off 5 ranked teams, INCLUDING THE WALK ON WATER WHOREGON DUCKS.
They can't compete? Um.........ok.
F Oregon. I'm not assuming anything. But do you. IF they beat Washington, they deserve a spot in the playoff. Only to get shit canned.
Dear God some Husky fans are spoiled.

Overrated is how the college playoff system works in it's current form. It rewards the blue blood teams who look great early and hold onto their rankings through the rest of their seasons, even if they don't look great doing it.

12-0 is 12-0, doesn't matter how many style points you get. Especially if Oregon fans are crying about it, they lost to Washington.......and now get to prove they belong in the college championship on Friday.

Yep. I'm stoked for Friday. Whoever wins that game deserves a playoff spot. Whoever loses deserves a damn good bowl game.
Oregon is red hot, but UW just has to be the better team on Friday. If I had to make a pick, I would say Oregon wins a close one.
But, for the 7,456th time, this team has won 19 games in a row. That's not an accident. You either have that ability to finish or you don't.
This team finishes, ugly or not. It doesn't matter, at least in my eyes, how they win. Not one bit.
I don't give a rats a** about the committee. I care about my team winning, which they do a lot.

IF they lose, it's the first time in 20 games that they lost. That's pretty damn impressive.

dot everything sucks saying but...but....it's not pretty in 3.....2....1.......

Just to play devils advocate though how would you rank a bunch of 12-0 teams if they never play each other. This don’t mean I agree with the system.
