Bummer to end this way—and a well deserved win for Michigan—but this was probably the most fun Washington team of my lifetime. Absolute thrill ride of a season.

Excited to watch a bunch of these guys in the NFL.

Really tough holding call after some of the ones they missed for Michigan. #NationalChampionship

Huskies were a tick (or more) off all night — especially Penix —and squandered the chances they had to make a run. Sad end to a fantastic season.

Well that's it for Pac-12 football huh? Still hard to fathom…

Moving on to the "excited to claim the title when Michigan has to vacate it" stage of grief

they might come for me for this but oh well.. what a great lesson to be learned tonight, you can sign steal, cheat and still become a champion 🥹 all in the same season folks !

Bad news: A crushing loss in the national title game for Huskies

Good news: No post-game cigars in the locker room

— Larry Stone (@StoneLarry) January 9, 2024

Sucks man. Didn’t think the offense was gonna be the reason why UW lost.

Helluva season and I’m gonna miss the Penix era so damn much.

Incredible team. Insane memories we will never forget.

Very grateful we got to enjoy the ride.

just inexcusably bad, especially after the hold that completely changed the last drive for UW. https://t.co/fKpdCCJevI

So this is how the Pac-12 dies, with thunderous applause. pic.twitter.com/XM3olpGf34

We had a good run, @pac12. ❤️

You are a bum and a weasel, Larry Scott.

Kalen DeBoer is 104-12 lol

That holding penalty may have cost UW 7 points and may have been a 14 point swing. Which may be the difference in the game.

And IMO the refs missed a few offensive holds by Michigan in the 1st half on long runs.

Every call/no call impacted this gm. https://t.co/It69OuKuQz

I don’t get to be a fan very often but that was one night I I won’t ever forget. So many hugs w/friends & strangers alike.

The Huskies had multiple chances in the 3rd quarter but…

In the end, as is often the case, the line of scrimmage wins titles. Credit to Michigan. pic.twitter.com/6MZXqkaJh4
