[quote author=somnambule link=topic=10932.msg102789#msg102789 date=1413745333]This is the first blowout loss of the Shaw era.

No it wasn't, we lost to Oregon 53-30 in 2011. That's a much worse loss, and we had Luck at QB.

Sometimes I think people have forgotten about those Oregon disasters in 2010 and 2011...

The score differential was larger, yes, but we played like a good team.  Last night we didn't.  If I remember right the score both years was very close at the half.  Last night we were shut out in the first half and barring a dramatic offensive turn around the game was over.  Like Marty I have been a big and loyal fan all of my adult life.  I still am.  But I never pretended we were good when we weren't.  Neither has Marty or most of you, I suspect.  I haven't seen much to be optimistic about this year.  Some bright spots, sure, but over all?  No.there is always next year and I am optimistic about that.
