Best Of

Demond has not scored points in two games. At Oregon last year against a team that finished 14-1 and won the B1G, and against #1 2025 title winners Ohio State and one of the better college defenses I've ever seen (through 4 games).

Demond and the offense SHOULD drop 35 on Maryland. And that that should be enough to win.

Robinson seems to be ready for prime time at corner as a true frosh through 2 games. Maybe Prysocks figured something out last week and this season.

With Manu back it is actually an apparent upgrade over Al-Uqdah.

Losing Durftoe and Willis isn't great, but this is why you keep Max McCree around and have 6 EDGE rushers with some experience.

Washington is the favored team. It's time the program acts like it and wins a fucking B1G road game.

Fans are not excited for yet another chapter of "let's see if this loser can coach before we fire him in four years"

Go figure

When they found a winner they let him walk.

You can fool yourself into thinking that it's just me but it isn't

The admin is realizing that sending drones like Tequila to channel 2007 was pretty stupid. The original attempt was to claim Fisch is better anyway and a great recruiter and would work the portal

3-1 and it's all on the table ahead of the squad. Either get it done or don't. But fuck excuses that we've heard since Kenny Wheaton was on his way to score

No white helmets gets Fisch another week of employment

Fuck Maryland. Fuck Michigan. Fuck Oregon.

How about these people Bow Down. That'd be a good alternative.

I'm tempted to make this extra TL, DR for spite

As for Demond, let's start with saying that he's got a very special skill set. His accuracy level is what you dream of in a young QB and then you add some solid arm strength to go with it and you're working with great tools. His legs are far more of an asset than negative and enables him to make plays that are the exception to the rule as a QB.

We need to also remember that he's a young QB, has made 6 career starts, and 2 of those starts were against the #1 team in the country where those teams have done a good job of highlighting areas for him to grow and improve in.

Ohio St exposed some items for him as a young QB that he'll need to work on. The good news is few teams on our schedule are going to have the number of future pros on its defense with the ability to execute what Ohio St did … it's important to keep that in mind walking away from this weekend.

I do think that Demond's accuracy (completion %) is a bit of a weakness for him right now in that he's so focused on hitting his receivers between the numbers (which he does at a high frequency) through clean windows and not turning over the ball that it causes him trouble as he's yet to really learn that it's ok to make tighter window throws. For example, think back to Penix and the number of throws he'd make where it was either his receiver making the play or nobody … think low and to the outside. Right now these are throws that Demond doesn't make. He needs to get better making more "dirty" throws where it doesn't necessarily look perfect but gets the ball to where it needs to go … how many throws on a Sunday do you see where the QB is sidearm slinging the ball or whatever finding an angle that doesn't really exist?

Demond's leg talent is obviously special and up until this point in his development he's been able to rely on his legs to get him out of trouble when it comes. Against elite athletes like Ohio St had (particularly at LB) he's finding out that just taking off and running isn't going to bail out bad situations. He's going to have to learn when to take off and run versus when to learn the threat of his legs to create throwing windows by forcing defenders to commit.

These are GOOD problems for a young QB to have and work on via development. I'd much rather have these issues to work with a QB on versus say the challenges of coaching a QB like Jake Haener that can be reckless with the ball and be turnover prone.

UW fans should be really excited at what is possible for Demond. There's a lot of reason to be very optimistic that a CFP berth is on the horizon. A shot at it this year isn't off the table. I've said for a while that I think that 2026 is the year where we're a real contender for the CFP with a chance to do something if we get in. If Demond stays for 2027 the upside is really high.

We need to get out of this rut of thinking every player is a finished product and in particular with young players not understanding that they are going to grow and develop (even Penix continued developing).

We also need to get out of this rut of thinking that the sky is falling after every loss … particularly when it's to a team/program that is on a different level than we are right now. We're ascending but we're not a National Championship contender at this moment like Ohio State is. What matters is that we're progressing towards that level.

There's way too much negativity and PTSD tied to the fans of this program that just assume the worst at all times.

I don't think I can fit that onto a beer goblet

What I don't understand is that I raised the issue multiple times about how our chincredibles "heart" had turned into a gray dot, and I wanted to get our hearts back. Suddenly the gray circles disappeared without any comment from my contact. When I brought it up I was told that it is no longer possible to have them shown, but that she solved the problem by making the pop-up list. I do not agree that that solves the problem, and I told her that it was a favorite feature of our posters here and that it adds to the visual appeal of the site.

Sark 2.0

I've seen enough of Fisch to want him fired.
