A shitty team that is on the rise typically losses on the road and punches above their weight at home, sucking off the tit of their fans like Haie, PGOS, BigE, and Myself. We are already constructing our WoW costumes for the OU and OSU gaymes next season
I don’t know man… I saw this QB2 last night and I think a lot of people are just responding to him not being Howard. If 2 plays like he did tonight against Oregon he’s going to get decapitated and or dismembered.
Your fancy lad QB's weird ass kink is about to be leaked pregame and don't you think he won't hear about it. It's gonna be everywhere in the medias, weighing on his mind and stuff.
I've convinced myself that winning every game at home and losing every game on the road is actually a good sign. You can't really draw it up better. That just tells me we have it but it ain't travelling yit.
I've defended Fish. He will do alright in time, and then likely jump to Gainesville or wherever. 6-5, blowout loses to State Penn and fucking Indiana, and loses to SUNJ and Cougit aren't okay though. It's not time to get giddy. I just saw bits and pieces of the game but it looked like they at least improved a little.
I mostly agree with you but I wouldn't expect a massive influx of portal talent on the OL and DL. I'd guess that they'll find one guy to compete at an OG spot (not sure what Memelaar's plans are and if Paki Finau will be ready to start as a RS-Frosh) and one at DT to compete for a starting spot since Valdez and Bandes exhaust their eligibility. Since UW doesn't have $20 million in NIL money, they'll likely be more targeted in the number of transfers they bring in and concentrate the resources on those limited numbers.
Anyway, the problem with this year's OL is that the 2023 OL class either had no experience due to redshirting in 2023 (Tafai, Faasolo, Henning, Jackett) or were coming off significant injury (Hatchett). Tafai did look better night though and I have to imagine McCree will finally be back in two weeks to take some snaps.
only watched the last 1.5 quarters or so but thought demond looked great. If I was a UW fan id be annoyed that they basically wasted his development this year. The bowl game should actually be interesting though because he’ll get 3+ weeks of install as qb1 and it’ll be nice to see him run a more advanced playbook
I still think it's funny that you guysms are so sure everyone's coming back. The plan for next year is to fill every roster need by raiding teams through the transfer portal, yet it's just an impossibility that bigger fish will do the exact same thing to UW? When UW drops a bag on some Center from SJSU, that's just a business decision that he'd be stupid to ignore, but if Texas throws $2 million at Coleman, he'd be an idiot to leave because of playing in The Greatest Setting™ or whatever the Doog reason is?
There are (sadly few) players on this roster with some real market value. They're all going going to be making a business decision this offseason, some between mid-to-late-round NFL, School A ($), and School B ($$$). Welcome to the shitty and hopefully short-lived era of unlimited penalty-free transfers, where college football has caught up to college basketball and you might know half the team's names by the conference slate if you pay really close attention.
If you want to believe that the portal will be our? savior for '25, prepare your anus for what the portal can also do to the building blocks that you assume will already be in place.
In 2023, the NCAA voted to crack down on multiple transfers, allowing a second undergraduate transfer without penalty for only three reasons (which involve mental health and getting raped and learning disabilities and whatnot). In May of 2024, the NCAA agreed to a consent decree with Congress (because they have nothing better to do than regulate college football, TITTT) that not only changed the rule to grant undergraduate athletes unlimited transfers without penalty, but also to restore a year of eligibility to any player that was penalized a year for a second transfer since 2019.
TL;DR: Your post is completely moot. UW lost half its team just days after a natty run and on the doorstep of moving up to a big-boy conference, when you'd think "team spirit" would be at an all-time high regardless of the coach leaving. Only three followed that coach, the others chased bags or graduated out.
This is the list of players on the roster right now that have unlimited freedom to transfer as of May of this year but would have had to sit a year had they been at UW in any other year the transfer portal existed:
Kevin Green
Jayden Wayne
Logan Sagapolu
Michael Watkins
Isaiah Ward
Anthony Ward
Audric Harris
Russell Davis II
Demond Williams Jr.
Ephesians Prysock
Jonah Coleman
Adam Mohammed
Jordan Shaw
Drew Azzopardi
Maximus McCree
Deshawn Lynch
Darren Barkins
Hayden Moore
I don't know how half of them are, but I sure as shit recognize a few of those names. But, yeah, sleep soundly tonight in the reassuring knowledge that no starter has ever transferred out from UW. No starting former transfer at UW has ever had the permissive structure in place, either, and no roster at UW has ever come CLOSE to featuring this many D1 transfers. It's a brave new world…

Good luck the rest of the way

The future is still cloudy. The wheels could in theory still come off next year. Maybe Fischy really can't win on the road.
BUTT, UW isnt losing to mid teams at home. Some people hate Fisch so much already they hope for it which is misguided and dumb.
LIFPO. There are bright spots, and there are concerns. Go out there and pay for good lineman in the portal

Until this week.

The road schedule was far harder than the home schedule
Ohio State and Quook come to town next year. Win.
Record of home opponents not counting the first two games = 17-21
Record of opponents not at home, including Coug = 47-10
I still think you gotta win and at least be more competitive in the road games but it's not that complicated.
Every other year in history Indiana would be a gimme road game for the DAWGS
We get them the year they are undefeated and now 10-0

UW has not lost a starting player to the portal besides when the coach left 2 days after the natty
The next time it happens will be the first
I applaud your self awareness. Does haie really belong on that list though?
