Great play by UW or crap call by Oregon on that one.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
Oregon sucks
December 1st, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
I was afraid of the wrong team.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
I think of the immortal words of Fielding Yost:
"Run. The fucking. Ball."
December 1st, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Similar intent, but I prefer Bo's immortal words, which Harbaugh uses all the time:
"Run the god damn ball!"
It's been the core concept of UM football for over 100 years. It's how you defeat high-powered, yet soft teams like UW (and Ohio State. Hehe!)

UW looks prepared. Oregon does not.
If this holds up we're getting UW in the semis
December 1st, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Unless Bama beats Georgia.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Are we rooting for aorgeron or W@sdrton?
December 1st, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
I normally root for Washington over Oregon.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
But wjatsbbetter for Michigan!?
December 1st, 2023 at 9:02 PM ^
Ithdg wester mrrr usuued thoh W8dshrtn styllzle.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Penix is hard to beat.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
That’s a shame
December 1st, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Winner is not likely Michigan's opponent. FSU with a win is.
This is for #4 if Georgia wins and FSU wins.
But FML FSU's 2nd string QB is hurt
December 1st, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
Washington is already #3. They're not dropping to #4 if they beat #5 Oregon.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
Yes I made an error - I meant Oregon win they are probably #4 with FSU 3. Washington would be >> FSU with a win. My bad!
December 1st, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
Disagree. The committee will consider that FSU is down to their third-string QB and has looked mediocre since FSU's bad-ass QB1 got knocked out for the rest of the season.
If FSU finishes 13-0, FSU will make the CFP. Unless FSU looks great tomorrow evening, FSU is doomed to the #4 seed because that #3 seed is being saved for the Pac-12 champ....

I'm struggling to understand this strong start from Washington because they did not look great in the Apple Cup.
I get the Apple Cup was Wazzu's Super Bowl, but this looks like a completely different Washington team tonight.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
Washington looked bad to meh their last 6 games. They were struggling long before WSU.
But rivalry weekend last Saturday showed multiple surprisingly close games against bad competition.
Alabama struggled against a bad Auburn team.
Florida State struggled against a bad Florida team.
Georgia struggled against a bad Georgia Tech State team.
Washington struggled against a bad Washington State team.
Oregon State probably would have put an effort in against Oregon if they didn’t play knowing they were going to lose their coach.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Ah yes. Another game where I sit down and try to identify everything Seth has taught us at live speed. A good way to remind myself I’m a very slow learner.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Michigan should hire Debore if Harbaugh leaves
December 1st, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Seattle UW tech mogul fans are ready to spend some serious $ to keep DeBoer in Seattle.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Giles Jackson sighting
December 1st, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
Ha! Jinx…
December 1st, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
I am going to be eating a shitload of lemons tonight if this continues. I thought Oregon would wax Washington.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Giles Jackson sighting
December 1st, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
Beat you
December 1st, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Didn't someone have Oregon as #1?
December 1st, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Washington looking good early but I still think Oregon wins. We should be rooting for a close Oregon win because both teams would stay ahead of OSU.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
OSU's chances of backing in to the CFP are much slimmer this year than they were last year. I don't think that should be a factor in our rooting interests.
I think we match up better against Washington than we do against Oregon, so I'm rooting for Washington.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Fun fact: this Oregon-Washington game is the last Pac-12 football game ever.
December 1st, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Had no clue Giles Jackson took a redshirt this season. He's really gonna end up having a full 4 year career at UW, covidshirts are crazy.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
ABC/(ESPN) on DirectTV not carrying the game…screen says their contract with Tegna has expired. Who the F is Tegna? Anyone else getting this bullshit message? I pay too much monthly to have to put up with this shit.
Means I’ll likely miss tomorrow watching unless there’s a miracle resolution to this stupid contract squabble, or break out the ol’ rabbit ears.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:02 PM ^
Sign up For a month of YoutubeTV and stream. Cancel after the playoffs
December 1st, 2023 at 9:05 PM ^
Tegna is a media company that owns a bunch of local network affiliates. They're in the midst of a contract dispute with DirecTV. Unless Tegna also owns the FOX affiliate in your area (which is unlikely and probably prohibited by antitrust law), I wouldn't worry about it for our game tomorrow.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
Yep, I got that screen. I literally have all 4 premium services they listed as alternatives, and literally none have it for me. Insane I wouldn't be able to legally watch a major conference championship game.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
Penix had him wide open there. Sure TD. DB did grab there for a second.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
Big miss by Pennix. Dominant start but if Oregon can drive down and score they will be right back in it.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
Washington's defense is going for a rushing Rutger.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
Washington is a shitty tackling team.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
That safety must have seen your comment!
December 1st, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Wow haven’t watched much Washington this year but please let them win. Their tackling is atrocious. Making these Ducks look like LaMichael James.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
UW Defense is playing well! I think we can take either of these teams!
December 1st, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
Defense is showing up so far for Washington. Nix may have to use his legs to open things up tonight.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
Will UW end up regretting that overthrow last possession? They had a 17-0 lead right there for the taking.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:12 PM ^
It’s looming large already.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
No preference. We're much more balanced.
W
December 1st, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
Muhammad is an elite corner but he gets away with a lot of contact.
December 1st, 2023 at 9:11 PM ^
It's going to be weird having these teams on the schedule regularly. They play a version different version of the game.
I think we can beat either of them.
