Ed, the Huskies were the lynch pin in destroying the PAC12 and leaving WAZZU to fend for its self. Now the mighty Cougs have rebuilt the conference, are 8-1 and ranked in the CFP top 25. The Dawgs just got crushed at Penn State, probably won’t make a bowl game. The former UW AD, Jen Cohen, who orchestrated the demise of the old PAC12 got her reward for destroying the conference with the USC AD job, they aren’t going bowling either and might be looking for a new coach. It’s called Karma, GO COUGS! Get a life Pat.

Ed,

Please get a life. I am happy for the Cougs, but sad for you.

If you are a Dawg fan you know how it feels to be 8-1. Remember it? Hope so because it will be a long, long, long time before you will be able to have that feeling again.

Great shots!!

Unfortunately for Husky fans, the only positive takeaway is that all our gear made it back East…

Not pretty

Holy Smokes! Just when I thought this particular art form had surely peaked, along comes Emma! People have been at it for a long time and I was lucky to work among some of the best of them at the old Eugene Register-Guard. But this work is over the top, with almost every image evoking an important part of the festivities or action. Was that really Jedd Fisch having to separate his own players? I’ve gotta watch that one on VCR. If so, I actually saw that happen in the Washington huddle at Autzen once back when Oregon was first beginning to beat the Huskies. As soon as I saw that breakdown on their team, I knew we’d win. Thanks to JC and Emma for bringing this to us. It’s a ray of light at a very dark time.

Great shots Emma. I really liked the #1 evading the tackle as well the Lion leading the Penn State flags down the field as the pyrotechnics go off. You really see the grandeur of Beaver Stadium. Last, the black and white images were surprisingly good. I say that because the vibrant colors in uniforms is one of the things I most like about college football. Anyway well done

Oh man was that a hard game for us UW faithful. We did get to see our future QB Demond Williams Jr. run the offense in 2nd half of blowout thou. He’s gonna be a good one the next couple of seasons. But more than half the time last night he was running for his life as the OL melt, melted away. Great pics Emma!

Emma. Great job. You really caught the fever of "Happy Valley". Those Penn State fans are SERIOUS! Plight of UW shows what happens when you lose a head coach,,,even if Bill B. is behind you.

Penn State shot of the masses reminds me of a flock of Sea Gulls.

Thanks, but no thanks !

And I have been a closet Coug supporter along with a buddy of the Stanford ilk. After the Coug fan comment, I am tempted to change. Calling the Huskies a lousy team is a cheap shot,

I guess the Huskies beating Oregon in 3 straight games with Bo Nix means nothing. The Huskies had their national title participating coach robbed by Alabama and 11 or 12 starters to the cash grab, he calls the Huskies lousy team. Maybe he should page back through the years when "Couged it" was phrase heard round the continents.

Husky fans, I feel your pain. Seems like losing your HC and a bunch of top players who then enter the portal is more damaging than having your conference blown up. WSU is #19 this week. Conference decimation has not held them back with their coaching / recruiting staff intact

Fans this is what a color out should look like. It’s really not a suggestion to wear and then many wear what they want anyway. It looks ridiculous when you want like a color out by section and in the green section you see enough yellow to take away from the main color. Just a pet peeve , but at least Autzen isn’t a seat out,at which the beavs did a great job of doing.

I wonder how wise it is for visitors to show up wearing white jerseys on white out night? I don't think NCAA rules require visitors to wear white, just wear a contrast color?

If wearing white, at least visible helmets and contrast pants, and perhaps larger number contrast font size on jersey?

I remember about 50 years ago a certain Big Ten QB who was very good passer but had a high rate of interceptions. After he was drafted in the NFL by the then St. Louis Cardinals they found out in his physical that he was colorblind for certain shades/colors.
