Unless you’ve recently taken up residence beneath a large\u00a0rock (it’s election season,\u00a0who can blame you?),\u00a0you’ll know that Stanford<\/strong> was completely dismantled\u00a0<\/em>by Washington<\/strong> last Friday. As such, it’s taken me days to process my thoughts and feelings about the game. Even now,\u00a0I’m only able to verbalize my disappointment and frustration in\u00a0GIFs, guttural sounds, and that one upside-down-face emoji. You know the one. I’ll stick to my strength, though: GIFs.<\/p>\n

As my husband aptly pointed out: whether you pronounce it JIF<\/em> or GIF<\/em>, there’s only one way to pronounce ass-kicking<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Big thanks to my twitter friends for sending me some of their\u00a0most frustrating moments.<\/em><\/p>\n

To truly understand what happened last Friday in Seattle,<\/strong> I have to back up a few\u00a0years to explain the sequence of events that ultimately led to this loss. Last Friday\u00a0night was almost three years in the making, and one that I assumed would happen after Washington’s head coach Steve Sarkisian<\/strong> left for USC<\/strong> and former Boise State<\/strong> head coach Chris Petersen<\/strong> took over. Because let’s be real: going from Sark to Chris Petersen is like being given a purse full of gold coins in exchange for an old gym sock.<\/p>\n
