That was the 3rd game of the year, and the Buffs were coming off a 7-5 season including a bowl win. At the time it looked like a decent win on the road.allpurpleallgold said:The 2000 Rose Bowl team beat a 3-8 Colorado team 17-14. But we should probably all shit our pants and give up.
Hawaii was 1-11 last year with one of the worst defenses in the country. Heck they may turn out to be a pretty decent team, but as of right now a 1pt victory is not something to be celebrated. -
How Hawaii fucked this game up I'll never know... It's the thing 1-11 teams do. And Ty.

Weird, I woke up half naked with Poi smeared all over my face and size 26 sticky panties on my pillow.unfrozencaveman said:Didn't listen to the KOMO broadcast. But did I hear Bill Schwartz is back? Also Gaard Swanson during the pre-game?
Chuck needs to come back, although I'm sure he's busy @ the WAC
I woke up fully clothed next to a half eaten Kalua pig/pork sandwich. Laptop on my chest, logged into Husky Hardcore. Totally out of touch with local media -
I agree. Petersen came with very high expectations and throughout the 4th quarter I was ready to concede he was going to burn one of his 12 losses toward 92 victories at Washington.RoadDawg55 said:
The season isn't over and we will certainly play better this season. That opener was shit though and wasn't good. Blaming Sark for what he left also bothers me. The OL and front 7 are all returning starters (besides Coleman Shelton at RT) and they got outplayed for most of the game against a bad MWC team that didn't win a conference game last year. If Lindquist was the only thing holding us back I would feel much better. I guess we are called doogs for caring about the scrimmage. Personally, I think excusing that kind of performance by saying it was only a scrimmage is much worse than over analyzing a non conference game.
I've been very vocal about supporting Petersen before he was even hired. That was shit though and not having your team ready to play is somewhat concerning. It was the fucking opener. if anything, the players should be too amped up. The old saying, "I'd rather have to tell a guy to calm down than to get him fired up." I am curious to how the team comes out next week. I think it will be a tough week of practice and we see a different team next week.
I think it goes beyond blaming Sark. The team's identity is still missing, and has been for far too long. Expectations toward regaining elite status are buzzing in the media (may partly explain Huard's doogliest demeanor). I think Petersen embraces this challenge and I believe he will succeed. But, the players don't know what it takes be Husky Football, the upperclassmen included. I thought Petersen's comments before the game were peculiar at the time (i.e. "unknowns"), but now appear very telling in that he didn't know how his "process" was going to manifest in player performances (or lack of) until tested. I am thankful it was a "scrimmage." I am also glad three more are scheduled before the conference opener. Now Petersen knows much better what needs to be prioritized for his "process" take root and develop this season's squad into a competitive, winning team.
I'm with RoadDawg in expecting we see a different Husky team against EWU.

Yeah I don't think you even know what cherry picking is. That would actually explain a lot.RoadDawg55 said:Using Colorado in 2000 and the '90 season is cherry picking. Colorado in 2000 was a team with talent in a hostile environment. They played in the Fiesta Bowl the next season. I don't see Hawaii doing that and they will be lucky to be .500 in the MWC. It's a good example to keep things in perspective that the season isn't over, but there are plenty of other examples where a shitty opener was a sign of things to come. The 2011 win over Eastern is a prime example.

TL, DR version: TSINO, but that was a fucking horrible performance that shouldn't be ignored. -
Roaddawg. Agree fully in your write up. Though I am shocked boobs hasn't started a new thread telling you what a fucking idiot you are... hmm
4 preseason all conference players on defense. They should have dominated up front. That's what a team competing for the North should do against a dumpster fire program.
Let's hope to see a dismantling of Eastern why the fuck else would we watch? -

Using select examples to boost your argument. You did it by using Colorado in 2000. I could wikipedia it or get the Webster's definition if you would like.allpurpleallgold said:
