http://traffic.libsyn.com/huskyfanpodcast/Pac12PreviewPodcast8.26.14.mp3

90 minute podcast. First 18 minutes we comment on Sark, Josh Shaw, Yannity, Kent Gris, Eklund.

18-24 minutes- Quarterback bias, 25-Will pac12 team make playoff, 29- UCLA/Stanford physicality, 31- Stanford & schedule
32- Mark Helfrich lasts how long?, 34-46 Rise of AZ schools or not, 47-50 Sark & USC, 51-53 Utah, 55- Upsets, 59- Notre Dame's chances in P12 South, 1:05-1:15 Pac 12 Predictions & UW Record Predictions, 1:15- UW/Hawaii predictions & National Champion prediction

Some rapid fire questions for your input on this thread:

1. When will Helfrich be fired?
2. When will Sark be fired?
3. USC's record this year
4. Surprise teams?
5. Upset picks?
6. Pac 12 title game & UW Record
7. Pac 12 coach of the year

One of us thinks Helfrich and Sark will be both be gone before 2016 season. Two of us think Petersen is pac12 coach of year but won't win the north. The other thinks Mora is coach of year and Pete wins north. All of us think WSU/USC, WSU/UW, Utah/USC are potential upsets. All three pick UCLA to win south with two picking them to win pac12. All three think ASU could challenge in the south. Chest thinks Utah surprises. NC picks are Alabama, Oklahoma & Florida St.

    1. When will Helfrich be fired?
    Year 3 with 3 losses or more.
    2. When will Sark be fired?
    After year two, this will be a difficult year for an ailing HadenFS. I fear he'll turn an toward taking over for poolboy since our hospitals are the best in the galaxy.
    3. USC's record this year
    Conference record 6-3.... total NOGAF
    4. Surprise teams?
    Cal will win 3 games!
    5. Upset picks?
    Sticking with my WASHINGTON HUSKIES (WOOOOOO) over the drunken parking lot rapists aka Eugene Community College Sucks (LOLOLLLOLLOZOzL11!!) pick of the year. Sark will not be taking his boys to In n Out during the season.
    6. Pac 12 title game & UW Record
    UCLA>Oregon
    Washington 9-3
    7. Pac 12 coach of the year
    Mora

    As drawn out as a 90 minute nil-nil soccer match

    I agree that Duyruter or whatever his name is will be coaching in the pac-12 next year if he beats USC. It's going to be fun to watch SC this year.

    Lots of numbers in these poasts. Going to grab my calculator and give the podcast a listen now.

    If UW doesn't win the Pac-12 North, Peterman shouldn't be coach of the year.

    Second to Wilbur, make them as long as you have something to say.
    I haven't followed Hawaii as close as many of you guys have. However, if they're as bad as y'all say, CP will drop 60+ on them. UW has the talent to do it, and Petersen's never shown a tendency to let off the gas early.

    Chest/RoadDawg/James,

    Don't listen to these guys about length. I listen to these on long ass runs and I'd rather hear 3 guys talk about Husky Football than anything else. 90 minutes is epic.

    truth, keep them long its good chit

    it's pretty much a joke now, like the time-check 70 minutes in when you thought it'd been about 40.

    If UW doesn't win the Pac-12 North, Peterman shouldn't be coach of the year.

    IF UW goes 11-2 and loses only to Oregon and UCLA you don't think he could still win coach of the year?

    First year PAC12 coach and new QB?

    The content was great as usual. Looking forward to the next ones!
    It's the first time I'm gonna criticize your podcast: this one was too long. Either cut it and release it in two parts, or edit it to remove some of the redundant conversations.

    +1 for not giving a shit about the runtime. Glad to hear someone other than the honks talk Husky football. The more the better.

    1. When will Helfrich be fired?

    After striking gold with Kelly, they will probably remember they are Oregon and hang on you Helfelch waaay to long; don't see him there after the 2015 season.

    2. When will Sark be fired?

    We all know he is a shitty coach but an 8 or 9 win season his first year will be attributed to him needing his own guys in there and the other bullshit platitudes we were fed. He will post a couple mediocre campaigns and be fired after one of his signature blowout losses to an equally talented team in the 2016 season. Cant wait to see chess match between him and Brian Kelly.

    3. USC's record this year

    7 and something overall. 5 and something in conference.

    4. Surprise teams?
    I see Stanferd tanking this year. No analysis on why, but the energy that program was riding from Harbaugh seems to be running out. If they lose in week 2 to Sark, which I think will happen, they may win just 6 games.

    5. Upset picks?

    I think Cal has a real shot beating Colorado this year.

    6. Pac 12 title game & UW Record

    Oregon/UCLA. UCLA will win the conference. UW should finish strong with an 11-2 season. Don't see a win in Eugene but there is a good chance they run the table after that game and finish the season with 6 straight wins. Mariota will be healthy in our game with them but if he is injured soon after - there is a decent chance we wind up in the championship game.

    7. Pac 12 coach of the year

    I think it's Petermans to lose.

    Lavell Edwards leads Utah over Jim Mora's Troojans

  • priapism

    Playing this podcast at 2.5x speed - it's still comprehensible.

    I think Colorado will be the team to rise over the next 4 years. I think Arizona and Utah are headed to the cellar in the South. If you were a recruit, which school would you most likely choose, Arizona, Utah, or Colorado?
    The correct answer is Colorado. Colorado long-term has much better potential out of those 3.

    Dykes will be gone after game 12 of this year. Whittingham is fired next year. Arizona's fresh QB gets injured this year. Rich Rod lasts a few more years, once defenses finally learn to stuff the bubble pump by having the CBs play bump and run all game long. Rich Rod will be OC at some big school in 3 years. Leach fucks up just enough to not get HC offers from bigger programs and stays at WSU for a while.

    UW beats Furd and gets ranked in the top 10...but loses later another to a weak Pac team. UW finishes 6-3 in the Pac and takes 2nd in the North.

    1. When will Helfrich be fired?

    After this year when Oregon goes 8-4 during the regular season - Uncle Phil will not have the patience to hang on when others around him are getting better

    2. When will Sark be fired?

    After the 2016 season - he'll get a free pass for this season when he takes advantage of his cake schedule ... UW and Oregon back on the schedule starting in 2015 won't do him any favors ... Losing by 30 in a national profile game to Alabama to start 2016 will put him on the dead man walking path

    3. USC's record this year


    9-3

    4. Surprise teams?

    Depends on what you consider a surprise. I think that there's a really good chance that the UW wins the North.

    5. Upset picks?

    Stanford beating Oregon (obligatory) ... I'll go with Oregon losing @ Utah the week after they play Stanford at home

    6. Pac 12 title game & UW Record

    UW vs. UCLA ... UW 12-1 during the regular season

    7. Pac 12 coach of the year

    Not a bad call with Colorado. They are at least 2 years away from making a bowl and probably 3-5 of having any chance of competing at the top of the conference. They let their program go to shit worse than UW did. It's a shame too because they should be one of the better programs in the conference.

    I could see Colorado getting better for sure. McIntyre had good results as a DC and did a good job at San Jose St. They got better each year while he was there.

    I think some are sleeping on Arizona long-term. They were 23-36-31-73 in SRS before Rich Rod got there. He's gone 26-23 his first two years. The last two years according to SRS were Arizona's two best years since 1998. I think they will surprise to the downside this year but will win the south at least once while he is there.

    I don't see Graham staying at ASU for too long. Losing Norvell will be a huge blow. That offense has played over its head under him. ASU's D was 8th in yards per play last year (in p12). It hasn't been close to what Stanford & Oregon have had.

    ASU's defense is all risk/reward ...

    When it is going good, you get results like what they had against UW ...

    When it isn't, they get plungered with absolutely no adjustments to make

    I have an idea for your next pregame podcast - talk about what type of O and D that Pedersen played at BSU and what to expect for this season and the next few years at UW. I never really watched BSU games with scrutiny. I just remember a handful of trick plays and a sucker punch by an Oregon player. I remember BSU throwing a lot up the middle a whole lot in the UW-BSU bowl game.

    In that scenario, Helfraud ("lol") and Mora are the leading contenders for coach of the year.
