Well, one thing for sure, the man is consistent in his hyperbole...

The Hornet fan forum is curiously quiet as well other than blaming the "homer refs" for their loss.

Truth...

Excerpts rom Bob Dunning's Substack column:

SEATTLE - Although an Aggie win would have been an upset of historic proportions, that dream vanished quickly as the University of Washington led from start to finish to overwhelm UC Davis, 70-10, before a raucous crowd of 65,421 Saturday night in Husky Stadium.

"We're not a pat on the back kind of team, and we're not happy with this result," said Aggie head coach Tim Plough.

"There are no excuses. I thought we could have played better. We continue to make mental errors that hold us back and we have to clean those things up. When you look at that score, it doesn't feel good, but that's a great Washington team and they're going to do great things this year."

The 60-point loss was the largest in UC Davis history, eclipsing a 52-3 setback to Cal in 2010.

Despite the loss, Plough raved about the venue of the 105-year-old stadium and the experience it provided his players.

"It was cool for our guys to play in that environment, with the crowd and the noise. This is a special place. Husky Stadium is the Camelot of West Coast football."

What does a head coach tell a football team after a loss like this?

"I told them don't let anyone pat you on the back, but all the goals we've set for ourselves are still ahead of us," said Plough.

"Our season starts now. We have nine games left and this game has no bearing on what we want to accomplish. Realistically, a game like this helps to fund our entire athletic program, so we're proud to be a part of it."

"This was a fun game for the University of Washington," said the Husky coach.

"It was awesome to see our crowd get into this game. I'm proud of the way we played tonight. As a team, we couldn't have played much better. It's most important that when you have a talent gap like this that you do the things you're supposed to do, and we did. Davis has a good team and they're going to be good in their conference and in their division."

"We're pretty worn down right now," Plough noted. "It's a perfect time for us to have a bye week."

I thought we might get beat by 40 but I didn't see 60 coming...

8 rushing TD's by UW is the most for them since 1951.

Portland

UW just tied their all-time high point total with 70. We were unable to stop a single drive...

I hope you're young enough to possibly see it happen. I'm afraid, at my age, that I'll be long gone....

Neither was injured in the first half. Plough is just giving some other players some playing time while not risking injury to some of our key players.

Why does Washington still have their starters playing when Plough is substituting?

The commentators said that Plough planned to let Harper play the second half since the game is out of reach.

Looks like the Washington coach wants to put up a big number...

Some great adjustments and play calling by Plough.

I'm not a fan of these games. I know we need the big paycheck but getting beat by 50-70 and risking injuries isn't worth the money...

It looked under thrown to me...

Yep...that was missed big gainer...

Total yards at the end of the 1st Q: UW 191 Ags 31

That was a vicious hit that Pinnick took. Glad he was able to get up and keep playing.
