12-0

My Washington Huskies are 12-0 for the first time since 1991. It also marks the first time in the Pac-12 era that someone has gone undefeated in the regular season. That just goes to show just how hard it is to go undefeated in a major conference like the Pac-12, especially this year when the Pac-12 has been so good.

While there’s a lot of jubilant Husky fans like myself celebrating the 12-0 season, we’re all still a little bit on edge because we’ve just won a bit ugly. Ever since beating Oregon in mid-October, we just candidly have not looked very good. Our high powered offense suddenly looks out of sync and we haven’t won comfortably in the last 6 games with at least a few of these games ones that we should’ve won easily.

But yet, we keep winning and we’ve accomplished something that no other team had done in the modern era of our conference. It’s a confusing team and of course I’d feel better if we simply have taken care of business the way we’re supposed to the last few weeks, but at the end of the day, all that matters is that we win.

Perhaps this year’s Huskies team is a bit like growing startups and companies. There’s a ton of imperfection. Things are almost always messy and chaotic. No startups have a pretty road to becoming a lasting company, but all that matters is that they survive and advance.

We’ve got one more big game on Friday to win the last Pac-12 championship game and it’s again our hated rivals Oregon. The game is about to be a bloodbath and I’ll be there live to watch. Go Dawgs!
