I feel like Blue fits this description better.

In terms of running style, KRob is much closer to Ramonce than Blue.

Middle finger rep is cool and all @Bobby Layne, but damned if I’m not curious to find out why my just relating what Finebaum said on his show would garner such a response.

Care to give some context?

Haha he does that to me too from time to time, so does pilots error and cairn horn. Random negs, it actually makes me laugh now. At first I was puzzled but it’s harmless.

Blue is Jamaal Charles 

Jamaal Charles as a true Freshman led the Texas RB room in carries (119) for 878 yards, averaged 7.4 YPC with 11 TDs and had another 14 catches for for 157 yards and 2 TDs.

Jaydon Blue through 2 years: 71 carries, 5.2 YPC, 372 yards, 2 TDs. 10 catches for 90 yards and 1 TD. still 3rd on the team in carries, had to have an injury to Blue to actually get carries and just had 10 carries for 3.3 yards against Oklahoma State.

Charles was not the primary back at the beginning of the season. Also like Charles, Blue has progressed rapidly and earned the coach’s trust to be a primary RB, and he continues to impress with his speed and big play ability.

Lol man we're all high on Sark but so far the UW shit talk on him is like 2/10 compared to the things that have been said about him on here even as recently as 2 months ago 

No shit. These Husky fans need to go to the "This is who Steve Sarkisian is"  thread if they need some ammo/instruction on how to do this properly.  So far I'm not impressed. Of course, the Washington fans may all still be stoned and not realize yet that they're still playing football.

I went to Dennys on St. Johns late one night with my roommate and we were both on shrooms. It was one of those "this isn't working, should take a lot more situations."

My roommate, "The letters on my menu are moving around like ants."

I briefly went to the middle school behind that Denny's. Hanging around that area on shrooms sounds like a recipe for an awful trip to me.

I'd love to see Sark now dial up a little more deception off those WR screen sets. A lot of those screens go nowhere; they get sniffed out instantly, and we don't consistently block well enough out there. I assume Sark has a reason behind every play, so maybe he keeps running that one partly to set up a variation at a critical point of a playoff game. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. 

What's with this new resurgence of people using the phrase "dial up?" 

We haven't had rotary phones for 30 years and now everyone uses "dial up" in everyday conversation?

Well, except for that other last team that played in and won the Sugar Bowl…unless, you meant, “…against a team that wanted to be there…”

[Warrrshington 148]

Texas is a great team. My confidence is more rooted in watching what UW’s done since DeBoer got here. This team reminds us all of the Marques Tuiasosopo 2000 team of destiny that beat Miami (best team ever?) and won the rose bowl for their paralyzed brother Curtis Williams. They’re so locked in it’s crazy.

 

UW is pretty similar to last year but has a much better secondary (added CB Jabbar Muhammad), mainly due to familiarity with the system in year 2. Our safeties look like completely different guys from last year.

RB Dillon Johnson (Mississippi State) is a complete back and a big upgrade from last year.

UW could absolutely lose this game but I would never bet against them. They’ve so been through the fire.

 

Coach K is the other god and the best decision sark ever made. He was beyond loyal to coach Petersen and sark came in at the right time (when Jimmy douchebag Lake was HC) to snatch him away. No coach K and where would Texas be??

 

That being said, we got 3 NFL receivers, a veteran stud qb, an OL full of NFL talent and a healthy defense that had to win many games to keep us undefeated when health was a major issue. Everybody’s healthy now.

 

I do pull for Texas and sark most of the time. Happy he’s turned it around. Happy for Choate. I’ll be in New Orleans and it should be fun.

WR talent in the this game is crazy. IF you included Sanders (TE), there are 6 NFL pass catchers out there. I think this game comes down to wo can disrupt the passer. Texas is vastly improved on offense from last year. Adding AD Mitchell has been a game changer and Quinn is in his second year as a starter. Should be a good game.

I’m not sure about the Selvyn Young erasure either. My comparison was meant to be a generalization, not a statistical comparison. Blue, like Charles, emerged throughout the season as an explosive offensive weapon. That’s all I’m saying.

they are way better at the underlying stats YoY

2022 vs the #59 SOS (ELS):

Spoiler

2023 vs the #2 SOS (ELS):

so they were better across the board, got more turnover luck, gave up fewer TDs and then got a nice SOS adjustment.

No Williams, no Catalon, our pets heads are falling off. Fortunately, safety play isn't going to be important against *checks notes* a deep ball offense with 3 NFL receivers... 

What is nice is that Washington isn't like an air raid attack that gets the ball all quickly in space. Those sorts of game plans have hurt us quite a bit. While we don't play the deep ball particularly well on the backend, our line generally does a good job of making it hard for an offense to consistently rely on routes that require that much time.
