In the spirit of these two glorious UW and Oregon friendship weeks I’d like to point out that Michael Penix and Bo Nix have more in common than you might think. While neither of these QBs have ever beaten Washington both are undefeated against Oregon.
#14DaysOfFrienship
How did Washington go undefeated without Jalen McMillan for most of the year? Unbelievable. He completely changes this team’s ceiling. Losing him was so underrated. So was getting him back.
Texas Twitter was quite an experience of low IQ football fans but the Longhorn fans I encountered at the game were great. Extremely gracious in defeat, kind to my kid. Lots of “congrats” “go beat Michigan” and “destroy those cheaters next week”. Much respect 🫡
George Lucas never wrote a better trilogy.
UW wins a classic at Oregon
UW wins a classic at Washington
UW wins a classic at Vegas

Robbed. If you put Penix on LSU with the same numbers and record he had this and move Daniels to UW with the same numbers and record he had this year Penix runs away with it and Daniels is fourth if he’s even a finalist. SEC bias is completely out of control.
Results:
1. LSU's Jayden Daniels (2,029 total points, 503 first place votes)
2. UW's Michael Penix Jr. (1,701 total points, 292 first place votes)
3. Oregon's Bo Nix (885 total points, 51 first place votes)
4. Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. (352 points, 20 first place votes)
Washington is 14-0 and in the national championship game despite medically retiring the best defensive player in the nation. Incredible to think about what this team could do with Laiatu Latu.
Nix portals to a 10-4 team
& goes 21-5 in two years, Penix portals to a 4-8 team in the same conference, goes 24-2 in 2 years, 3-0 against Nix, wins the conference, goes to the playoff, finishes ahead of Nix in the Heisman both years and you rank him behind Nix? 😂😂 Indefensible
With the talk of how epic 1995 was in Seattle history let's look at arguably the worst year in Seattle history (at least from a sports perspective). 2008:
Seahawks 4-12 in Holmgren's last year
Mariners 61-101
UW 0-12
Sonics hijacked
Good thing the economy was great that year!
Another QB trade: Commanders are sending last year’s starter Sam Howell to the Seahawks in a pick swap, per sources.
Trade:
🏈Seahawks receive Howell, a fourth-round pick (No. 102), a sixth (No. 179).
🏈Commanders receive a third (No. 78) and a fifth (No. 152).
I have a confession. I wanted the Seahawks to tank. I thought there was no chance this team would be any good without Russ. I was wrong. Pete is a wizard. I am sorry. Go Hawks.
A few notes on UW/Pac12 history.
UW is the first 13-0 team in Pac history.
UW are the forever Pac12 champions.
UW finishes:
3-0 in Pac12 championship games.
2nd in overall Pac championships.
With more playoff appearances than the rest of the
Pac12 combined.

Sucks for Arizona fans. We understand their devastation intimately. Something needs to be done about the portal window situation for schools who lose a coach late like this. No idea what the solution is.
Confession time: Oregon was good enough to win the national championship this year. If it wasn't for Washington of course. Congrats on a great season Ducks.
Massive respect for Noah Fifita and Tetairoa McMillan. Deep loyalty like that is all too rare these days. I will always be a fan of them both. Wish we still had leadership like that on our roster when KDB left.
If Utah was healthy we would have beaten Washington by 2 scores. We hung with a top 5 team until the last snap with 3rd and 4th stringers at key positions. A healthy Utah team is a playoff team.
BREAKING: Seattle (Wash.) Garfield athlete Rahshawn Clark just announced he will play for the hometown Washington Huskies and he talks about why he's staying home for his collegiate career
Every team we beat their fanbase swears these two things:
1. UW played their best game of the year
2. Defeated opponent played their worst game of the year
Every. Team.
@CJVogel_TFB
Yep. He & UW had their best game all season, while Quinn & UT had their worst. On a side note, their fan block was 1/4 of the stadium max, & they were loud af. On the flip side the Texas “fans” were embarrassingly quiet. It was like some weird voyeurism, not real fans.
Washington QB Dylan Morris will be transferring to James Madison,
@247Sports
has learned. Morris will suit up for the Huskies in the national championship game on Monday night then arrive in Harrisonburg later next week.
UW vs Oregon college athletics winners year in review:
Football: UW won in Eugene
M Basketball: UW
W Basketball: UW win to end Oregon season
Softball: UW won series 2-1
Baseball: UW sweeps Oregon in Eugene
Crew: UW
Track and Field: UW wins PAC title
Gymnastics: UW
Beating a top 10 team on the road in cold rain is a C+ 😂😂😂 UW has the best resume in CFB and continually gets no respect. Time to just embrace the disrespect, I’ve grown to love it. Keep it coming.
UW and Oregon fans right now

@owentooelve
. He swore Kalen DeBoer would be leaving for a job in the B1G next year and I mocked him for it. Sure enough, KDB really is going home to the B1G. Credit where credit is due.
I'll admit at first I thought it was fake but after another look all I can say is prayers up for the double amputee. Two knees on one play is brutal. I just hope with the right prosthetics one day he can walk again🙏
That is now twice in less than six months that
@UW_Football
stared into the abyss of an incredibly dark future and the administration moved quickly and decisively to position themselves to not just survive but thrive. As a longtime UW fan I could not be more surprised or proud.
Last night was the home version of the 2017 ASU game in virtually every way but one - the kicker came through.
In a cursed, wet game where ASU could have destroyed another UW season, Grady Gross calmly knocked in all 3 FG chances. Huge shoutout to him today.
#PurpleReign
Such different teams. 2016 killed inferior teams but struggled against elite teams. 2023 hasn't dominated nearly like 2016 but is absolutely nails when it matters most.
This man watching the UW game faithfully praying for a Stanford miracle that wasn't to be, rather than watching his own team's fourth straight loss is so hilariously on brand.
“UW got so lucky not having to play USC” - rival fans everywhere.
If we had gotten to play them it would have been at home where we were undefeated and we would have stayed undefeated.
USC got lucky not having to play UW.
Oregon getting the most players in the conference invited to the combine and then only having one drafted has to be unprecedented, right? Like that has to be almost impossible to pull off.
@NoahGarguile
Don’t act like you blew Oregon out or something. You won by three. You also have a coach that’s been at HC for 20 years Dan Lanning just finished his second. We’ve seen Kylan Debo‘s ceiling… Not Lanning’s though.
Unpopular opinion: I'm glad the season ends tomorrow. It's been an amazing ride but stressful as hades. We have lived on the narrowest of margins for a solid 3+ months. I've enjoyed this immensely & will be sad to never see a number of amazing players in purple and gold again.

@dawg206
I knew I’d get some smart-as_ response like that. You guys just can’t help yourselves. Find me one example of me talking about the fuskys without one of you all saying something about Oregon first. I’ll wait a lifetime. Thanks. Huck you!
GOOOO Ducks!!!! 💚💛🦆
This is a Devin Culp appreciation post. He came HUGE again against USC yesterday.
Click that heart button if you appreciate everything that the amazing TE has done for us this year.

Overheard in Cafe Beignet line: “Washington scares me. Offense better be ready because Washington is going to score.”
Need to get these dudes on Longhorn Twitter.
Going from Jimmy Lake/Jon Donovan/Dylan Morris to Kalen DeBoer/Ryan Grubb/Michael Penix is the rags to riches movie no one would ever fund because it's too unfathomable.
With the portal window situation you can't hire the Georgia coordinator (or Grubb). Maybe not even Carroll. You have to hire a sitting HC who can bring guys with him. I think Fisch has to be the guy.
