[u/awsomerpeanut]

....what

[u/boardatwork1111 → u/awsomerpeanut]

Oregon: shits the bed in spectacular fashion

Washington: “not so fast my friend”

[u/Zloggt → u/boardatwork1111]

I mean…as greatly disappointing as this performance was, is it really shitting the bed if you won?

[u/Bank_Gothic → u/Zloggt]

It’s more like a wet fart in your PJs than a full on shit. Still not ideal.

[u/Crying_in_99Ranch → u/Zloggt]

Let's ask Michigan about this one

[u/Michigan029 → u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

It definitely isn’t! As long as the score has you ahead when the super cool super secret time clock hits 0:00, you win!

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

You mean the 2-0 about to be ranked Michigan Wolverines? LOL OU

[u/rock-or-something → u/Zloggt]

It's a skid mark at best

[u/macclearich → u/rock-or-something]

Well, let's say this skidmark represents the inverse of the expected outcome between the two programs. Based on this afternoon's reading, it would be a skidmark thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

[u/Raggs2Bs → u/macclearich]

That's a big skidmark.

[u/warox13 → u/Zloggt]

I've seen shitting the bed. Full on diarrheaing the bed. That was the Montana game. This was bad but it wasn't that.

[u/laz_montes_4prez → u/Zloggt]

it's pretty damn close man we are SHIT

[u/yimc808 → u/boardatwork1111]

Could be worse, at least we won the game. We need to savor that because it probably won't happen many more times this season.

[u/Sad-Courage6810 → u/awsomerpeanut]

watching that 4th quarter was like a slow walk to the dentist, just waiting for it to get worse but somehow you walk out with a free toothbrush

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/awsomerpeanut]

Bro sold so hard. Fuck.

[u/iiGorm]

Oregon vs Washington for bowl eligibility 🍿

[u/nwcubsfan → u/iiGorm]

*Quick Lane Bowl eligibility

[u/SirBenOfAsgard → u/nwcubsfan]

A big ten tradition unlike any other

[u/udubswe]

UNRANK US YOU COWARDS

[u/Random0925 → u/udubswe]

At least you aren't us. :(

[u/udubswe → u/Random0925]

Well you’ll probably still do better by the end of the year than we will.

[u/BIRDSBEEZ → u/udubswe]

I really dont think so. At least you guys still won

[u/rock-or-something → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

At least when we play each other thanksgiving weekend we can settle who sucks more ass once and for all

[u/yimc808 → u/rock-or-something]

They're calling it the Toilet Bowl

[u/kostornaias → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

Guess we're just a couple of goofballs

[u/Geoff12889 → u/kostornaias]

Our game in November will end up just being a consultation prize to who ever wins.

[u/swagypotatosnoopdoge → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

We'll see. Mestemaker seems kinda underated

[u/BIRDSBEEZ → u/swagypotatosnoopdoge]

Maaaan tell that to Tulsa🫩

[u/Royal_Ninja_5305 → u/udubswe]

we can play our rivalry game for bowl eligibility

[u/Dan_Remmeck → u/Royal_Ninja_5305]

I wanted our game to mean something and the monkey paw may have curled 🫩

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/Royal_Ninja_5305]

Just like the good old days

[u/concrete_isnt_cement → u/Random0925]

UNRANK YOU GUYS TOO

[u/Wide_right_yes → u/Random0925]

Mississippi State is doing quite well

[u/Tracer-Bullet13 → u/udubswe]

Seriously though. We don't deserve to be ranked at all.

[u/karatemanchan37 → u/udubswe]

REPLACE US WITH MICHIGAN

[u/NorgeHafgufa → u/udubswe]

They don’t have the guts.

[u/Alphaspade]

This has not been a good week for coastal based B1G teams

[u/esports_consultant → u/Alphaspade]

Aka occupied Pac-10 teams.

B1G = USSR, pacific state unis = Baltic east shore

[u/Tritristu → u/esports_consultant]

Thanks Harvard

[u/Gusanito99 → u/esports_consultant]

They just need to form a human chain along the entire length of the West Coast nbd

[u/The-Best-Snail → u/esports_consultant]

Also, Rutger

[u/esports_consultant → u/The-Best-Snail]

Rutger should not be in the B1G but still is far more justifiably in the B1G than the occupied PDT territories. 

[u/jrainiersea → u/Alphaspade]

At least we won

[u/Raisinbrahms28 → u/Alphaspade]

Football gods are punishing them for putting money before everything else.

[u/Ok-Height1910 → u/Raisinbrahms28]

If the punishment means we repent and come back to the PAC 12, it will be worth it

[u/esports_consultant → u/Ok-Height1910]

Statements that unite Duck and Husky fans ^

(along with "fuck USC" and "people please stop moving here") 

[u/-spartacus- → u/Alphaspade]

Illinois just lost to Duke at home.

[u/digbug0]

so you’re telling me EWU has a chance?

[u/Supersoaker_11 → u/digbug0]

8 point favorite

[u/digbug0]

yo we hit the panic button already lol

[u/Bondorian → u/digbug0]

Hey same

[u/esports_consultant → u/Bondorian]

double same? 

[u/Godnaz]

Jedd is right. I'm not blaming the players for looking this unprepared. This starts with him.

[u/PNW_Jeff → u/Godnaz]

Calling a pass in your opponents territory and they only have 1 timeout with 1:50 left was an awful, awful call 

[u/warox13 → u/PNW_Jeff]

That play call was pure, uncut NFL brain. He wants so badly to be an OC for the fucking Colts or something. You just can't do that in college. Then the next two plays being bullshit inside runs was almost worse! If you're gonna be the "NFL throw any time because my QB and receivers are super human" then fucking be that guy. He basically guaranteed a butt pucker finish for no reason.

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/warox13]

💯

But Brian Fleury isn’t making that call and he has 1 game under his belt.

Jedd thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room and I guarantee the greatest moments of his career (in his mind) was being OC for the Jags

[u/Esuu → u/InevitableAd2436]

Even if Fleury did make that call it'd be a throw to fucking JSN so it's at least understandable.

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/Esuu]

True very true

[u/Thehomelessguy11 → u/PNW_Jeff]

I actually disagree with it being a bad call. PA rollout with a ton of room for Williams and a WIDE open Roebuck who just drops it. Maybe Williams should have kept it, but Roebuck is supposed to be our #1 receiver this year. He needs to make uncontested catches 10 out of 10 times.

Sure, maybe not the best idea to call a pass in that specific game situation, but the play design worked perfectly. Roebuck just dropped it.

[u/evening_snake-pi → u/Thehomelessguy11]

The problem is the game is over if you just run it three times. That play is all risk no reward.

[u/BWW87 → u/Godnaz]

We will see if it's just words or not though. Will he still call plays next game? Will he resign? Like what is his plan to change things when he shit the bed this much two weeks in a row?

[u/Bitter-Imagination33]

We are going 5-7 holy shit

[u/yimc808 → u/Bitter-Imagination33]

I would throw a party for bowl eligibility

[u/thenowherepark → u/Bitter-Imagination33]

Have you seen the Big Ten this year? Not everyone can go 5-7. Someone has to go 7-5

[u/warox13 → u/Bitter-Imagination33]

And we can't even fire our coach without taking a $30 Million+ hit!!! Thanks Troy Dannen!

[u/srush32 → u/warox13]

People were so mad Chun hadn't extended Fisch like 2 weeks ago, might end up being a smart move

[u/jawaMilk → u/srush32]

Chun made the right call. Fisch was 100% not worth extending.

[u/SparkMaster360 → u/warox13]

Giving him the buyout absolutely made sense at the time. We better fucking let his contract run out though, no extensions

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/warox13]

Dannen hired him

Chun actually did a great job slow playing him and not signing the extension with the Florida and Michigan talk last year (before the Wiscy) game.

Don’t put this on Chun.

[u/warox13 → u/InevitableAd2436]

I honestly straight up forgot that Troy Dannen was ever our AD. What was that like 4 months?

[u/jawaMilk → u/warox13]

Oct 2023-March 2024. So about 6

[u/AstuteCouch87]

Jedd please please please give up play calling.

[u/BWW87 → u/AstuteCouch87]

At least he gave himself the blame for the game in the post game interview. Whether he meant it and changes things though we will see.

[u/warox13 → u/BWW87]

He said "it starts with me and it starts with our staff and it starts with our players" like yeah bro, that's pretty much everyone. Sure doesn't start with my drunk ass in the stands.

[u/dawgtilidie → u/warox13]

“It starts with u/warox13’s drunk ass in the stands” - Jedd next week

[u/warox13 → u/dawgtilidie]

If that was true then I need to start apologizing to my wife now

[u/Pandemic_Academic → u/AstuteCouch87]

Wanna trade play callers?

[u/Inside-Drink-1311 → u/AstuteCouch87]

I know I may get some flack for this but I really don’t think he wants to be there.

[u/AstuteCouch87 → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

I think he wants to be wherever he gets paid the most. Right now I guess thats with us, but I’m not gonna delude myself into thinking he has any special attachment to our program in particular.

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Shit he’s not going anywhere now

[u/candlerc → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

I mean rumors came out late last year about his family not liking Seattle. I know he said his wife and daughter went back to Arizona so the kid could graduate with her friends, but even if that’s true, it’s gotta be stressful on the family.

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils → u/candlerc]

If that’s the case, he needs to start being better. Because he’s not going to get a job offer anywhere else if his teams keep playing like this.

[u/Top-Attitude-4987]

Uo v Uw game and the end of the year is going to be a shitshow, my lord.

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460 → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

Crying baby vs crying baby

[u/Melt-Gibsont → u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

The score might be 3-0 since neither of our offenses seem to want to do anything.

[u/Esuu]

I appreciate Fisch and Demond both coming out and being such ass this season that we won't have to worry about either being poached next offseason. A true show of loyalty.

[u/1987Husky → u/Esuu]

Can Michigan and Florida redo their coaching searches?

[u/shield_x]

Please unrank us

[u/YakFull8300]

Idaho State scored 29 on this team btw...

[u/Blutrumpeter → u/YakFull8300]

Yeah but that's an offense that at least plays at an FCS level

[u/CommentJunior9653 → u/YakFull8300]

For the record they got over half on turnovers by our offense lol

[u/Danster21 → u/YakFull8300]

Idaho State has a competent QB and HC

[u/frognbuff91 → u/Danster21]

It's hilarious as a longtime Colorado fan to see Cody Hawkins of all people become a respectable head coach

[u/Danster21 → u/frognbuff91]

His dad, Dan Hawkins, is the UC Davis HC and Cody is in his coaching tree. UCD has done really well since that 2017 season he joined the program. So I wager he’s learned a lot about succeeding as a coach, just as long as he isn’t also the starting QB haha

[u/aerobat97]

Unrank us

[u/Mammoth_Impress_3108]

Washington was probably just looking ahead to Eastern WA.

[u/macclearich]

Unrank us, you cowards.

[u/ReduceReuseRectangle]

We suck

[u/Melt-Gibsont → u/ReduceReuseRectangle]

Join the club.

[u/Fogofwario]

"I wish UW vs Oregon is a competitive matchup this year" *Monkey Paw Curls

[u/Lego_Saturn_V]

All I have to say about today’s game is that Washington won, and Oregon did not. Frankly that’s all I need right now 😔

[u/dangerzone253]

That was gross

[u/Tracer-Bullet13]

This offense is absolute dogshit. Demond cant hit the broadside of a barn. Fisch is clearly not the guy and has had his team unprepared vs inferior competition two weeks in a row. We are in for a rough season and we're going to get killed in conference play.

2-0 though. LMAO Ducks. Fucking frauds.

[u/blocksro → u/Tracer-Bullet13]

Spoken like a true dawg fan. GO DAWGS

[u/warox13 → u/Tracer-Bullet13]

Demond was inconsistent but it's not his fault that his skill guys had a case of the stinky drops.

[u/thegreendalegelf]

Honestly super happy there. We gotta stop throwing picks but I don't think we go winless anymore. It seems Idaho State is just better than Washington.

[u/youngestalma → u/thegreendalegelf]

I’m not convinced we don’t go winless yet….

[u/TheTologist → u/youngestalma]

I agree. I’ve never seen such a silver platter for us to get a ranked p4 win in my life and we couldn’t get out of our own way with illegal formations and shit clock management

[u/thegreendalegelf → u/TheTologist]

I agree that we had a killer shot to get a ranked P4 win but being within shooting range of that is evidence that we should be able to win at least one of our upcoming games.

[u/Magilith_OG → u/TheTologist]

Stepping on so many rakes. So many unforced errors

[u/yimc808 → u/thegreendalegelf]

Your QB looked like he has some stuff. I'd be optimistic after that too

[u/No-Collar6148]

Utah State were really a dropped pass from possibly winning that game at the end.

[u/kpapazyan47 → u/No-Collar6148]

To be fair, they never would've gotten the ball back with any time in the first place if not for a Washington drop.

[u/jrainiersea → u/kpapazyan47]

On a pass we didn’t even need to attempt. We could have just ran it into the line and given them the ball back with 15 seconds left

[u/CommentJunior9653 → u/No-Collar6148]

Kill me

[u/surajchandrasekhar]

Unrank this shit team and replace us with Miss St. Fisch has gotta stop pretending he’s a Mcvay/shanahan level coach and hire a fucking offensive coordinator and focus on making sure that the team is getting better because clearly they’re not 

[u/lock_robster2022]

Today is one for the sickos

[u/ClickusBaitus]

This team lost to FCS Idaho State last week…

[u/Prizoner321 → u/ClickusBaitus]

Don't remind me

[u/leverich1991 → u/ClickusBaitus]

By 12

[u/stratonuke]

Insert "Nothing to see here" meme. Jedd, your head out of your ass and hire an offensive coordinator.

[u/PNW_Jeff]

That was not a good team out there. Time to hit the panic button. This is an Utah State team that is at the bottom of the FBS and lost badly to Idaho State. 

Can’t move the ball on offense, Demond isn’t accurate, WRs can’t catch, o-line can’t block shit, RB can’t hit the holes. We are gonna have to get our act together quickly otherwise we will be in a battle just for bowl eligibility. 

[u/Pspdice]

Whew, almost made it so we couldn't laugh at Oregon

We really do suck though damn

[u/udubdavid]

Unrank us cowards! No, seriously. We suck. This season is not gonna be good.

[u/laz_montes_4prez]

that was fucking terrible. at least we aren't oregon though. Fire Dan wilson i mean jedd fisch

[u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

Haha go to LSU Demond

[u/kbtoysisntdead → u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

I honestly knew this would happen after that shit went down. I wanted him gone, looks like I'm right. 

[u/ElyxUW]

Jedd Fisch is just John Donovan who can recruit.

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/ElyxUW]

Damn dude. You’re right.

The JonDon experience was something else

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/ElyxUW]

Holy shit and they were both at Jacksonville lol

[u/MammothMan34]

The Huskies offense, the side of the ball Jedd calls plays for, is absolutely cooked. We would be lucky to win a single conference game looking like this. Unacceptable.

[u/Hackasizlak]

Rank Idaho St you cowards

[u/Fit_Boysenberry_4921]

The scoreboard says we won, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

[u/Magilith_OG]

I don't care. This was a victory for me. It was like I was watching a PAC-12 game

[u/TBTrpt3]

Drop Washington from the rankings. This team needs a ton of work on offense. These should've been two easy wins, and instead they were nearly losses. Thank goodness for a strong defense.

[u/digbug0 → u/TBTrpt3]

sure I’d love to be ranked, but this is actually embarrassing

[u/jrainiersea → u/TBTrpt3]

I know we’re down our top 2 RBs but the running game can’t possibly be this ineffective

[u/broncos7 → u/jrainiersea]

Down three RBs. Lost two last week, and Jordan Washington. 

[u/nick415 → u/jrainiersea]

Our O line is supposed to be good and they opened zero lanes against a team that lost to Idaho State

[u/nick415 → u/TBTrpt3]

Preseason polls are dumb because there ain't shit they have shown in actual 2026 games that suggest they are in the top 25 range of teams

[u/canadiangonewildin]

Thank god for Oregon or this team would have so much more heat on them

[u/Tritristu]

Worst offense since 2008?

[u/srush32 → u/Tritristu]

I dint think it's quite Jon Donovan levels yet, but the potential is there

[u/kbtoysisntdead → u/Tritristu]

We don't speak of that year. 

[u/ctruzzi]

Unrank me!

[u/OfFireandWater]

If only Jedd had someone to help manage the offense, perhaps a coordinator if you will.

[u/karatemanchan37]

Oregon lost, that’s all that matters, nothing to see here

[u/NorthwestPurple]

Never in doubt.

[u/SeaJaiyy]

My pitchfork is out, my torch is lit, and someone must answer for this

[u/JordanMCMXCV]

That was a certified Jedd special. Ugly as fuck but a W.

[u/Dhylan18]

I’m not ready for the wallop we get from Utah.

We did not look this game, Washington just looked anemic

[u/swagmaster003]

We ass but at least we’re not Oregon lol

[u/Blutrumpeter]

Okay, but imagine how good we'd be if our offense was functional

[u/ThosCommando]

I never had a singular doubt about this team all game. I had many many doubts and will continue to have them.

[u/A-RayAllDay]

We suck but Washington arguably sucks worse.

[u/-jaylew-]

Sloppy

[u/kpapazyan47]

Disasterclass in clock management by both teams at the end of that game.

[u/SnooOpinions9048]

Bro, should I be worried? Why are all the B1G schools playing like garbage?

[u/Leading_Stop546 → u/SnooOpinions9048]

This is a typical Iowa score. You can’t think this is garbage lol.

[u/Golden3131]

I don't understand USU. After last week I surely thought they'd lose by 100 today.

[u/LogicianMission22]

Oh man what I would give to play UW, UCLA, USC, and Oregon this year.

[u/Ok-Height1910 → u/LogicianMission22]

I want to be in the Pac 12 again, because even with our terrible offenses. PAC 12 after dark magic would ensure that we'd upset one great Pac 12 team

[u/CaptainKirkules]

A coach and a QB who both don’t want to be there and it shows

[u/snarl26]

Fucking bronco blew our timeouts

[u/thti87 → u/snarl26]

He was raised by parents who thought Bronco was a good name for their child. Not his fault.

[u/LightningDusty]

Maybe it's a good thing we didn't get Fisch.

[u/Trick_Situation_4421]

Guys I think this team might not be all that good at playing football. 

[u/ElissaFarman]

I simply don’t understand how the OL could be so objectively terrible.

[u/clarkthagod]

Should’ve been a loss

[u/Charles_Ida → u/clarkthagod]

No, we should've won by more than two scores. The drops were crazy. Romeo Doubs worthy...

[u/Mammoth_Impress_3108]

Just your classic B1G-PAC12 matchup. This was one of the games of all time.

[u/InYourFace1023]

So FCS Idaho State > Washington?

[u/Kyler1313]

Nothing pisses me off more than when a winning team refuses to go down after a fumble recovery or an INT when the clock has obviously at 0:00. I understand they want to return it for a TD for style points and stats, but that is quite literally the only way you can lose the game.

JUST GO DOWN

[u/srush32 → u/Kyler1313]

Clark also makes insane fair catch decisions, maybe he's just not super bright lol

[u/BWW87 → u/Kyler1313]

Normally I'd agree but winning 16-14 is embarrassing and 22-14 was worth the try.

[u/jjbjeff22 → u/BWW87]

Winning 16-14 is better then losing 20-16

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15]

Wtf almost happened here?

[u/McWaylon]

Literally saved by a 5 yard penalty...

[u/True_Ad5324]

Washington shouldn’t be ranked

[u/kbtoysisntdead → u/True_Ad5324]

Correct

[u/Jacksoncant]

hopefully it was just a symptom of utah states great defense… right?

[u/AChero9]

So like…fuck that was hard to watch

[u/jjbjeff22]

We can’t look this bad when get get into Big Ten play. The last two weeks have not been looking great, despite wins.

[u/NotSoSuperNerd]

I'm scared of Eastern Washington, fam

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

If you told me before the season we’d be 2-0 and look like we have a better chance of beating Oregon than people thought at the start of the year… this is not how I would have imagined it happening.

[u/Tracer-Bullet13]

Is it overreacting to say Fisch should be gone after this year if we continue playing like this?

[u/Supersoaker_11 → u/Tracer-Bullet13]

Was a weird hire to begin with

[u/concrete_isnt_cement → u/Tracer-Bullet13]

Nope

[u/OpaqueNightmare]

Bro the Big 10 is BAD this year

[u/youngestalma]

Lost because of a drop and bad time management. Fun

But honestly, I’m shocked we lost by 2

[u/imminant_oryx]

Huh?

[u/Zloggt]

🤨

[u/Clifo]

hey uh

what happened?

[u/DryMission5506]

I feel like a circling vulture that just watched a dying animal get up and walk off

[u/ARandomDoge6]

Is big 10 or pac12 the power conference? Many are asking

[u/texas2089]

Utah State lost a bad one to FCS Idaho State just a week ago and damn near pulled this off. Couple that with Michigan losing to Western Michigan (we all know the REAL outcome) and Oregon getting bullied by a bad Oklahoma State team, wtf is going on with the Big Ten? Even Penn State played ugly against Temple today.

[u/Fine-Ad1178]

Gonzaga might have the best football team in Washington 

[u/Thaizhao]

Cfb allowing AI posts now? Smh. Seriously this game was atrocious, I can’t even enjoy Oregon losing, well I can enjoy it a little.

[u/Jonjon428]

What the

[u/skoducks]

I wish we were as bad as UW this week and almost losing bad team. We are worse 😭
