    Good news: We still play in the Pac-12

    Bad news: We lost and looked depressingly bad in the 2nd half (adjustments?)

    Here's the thing I don't get, we were playing Stanford. I'm not into moral victories. But this "depressingly bad" shit doesn't make any sense. That's a good team. Losing to the second best team in the league by 7 is not enough to freak out over.

    We didn't score a point in the 2nd half, playing at home. Isn't that pretty bad?

    Shelton, Shaq, Peters and Kikaha looked like we expect them too. Budda Baker took a real step forward. Twatkowski may actually be able to coach. There's some real positives on that side of the ball, and Durkee as you mentioned.

    Otherwise, yikes.

    If this Stanford defense is as good as the one that is the only one out west that can stop Oregon, then we don't need to panic yet. If Cal shuts us down we have a major crisis and I would advise panic at that point

    This. I will jump off the ledge if the offense sucks against Cal, ASU, etc. We need to run the ball well in order to be successful. As bad as Miles was, 38 for 81, 2.1 ypc in the running game isn't going to get it done. If we are counting on Miley to beat them with his arm, it's over. I would have liked to see a little more creativity in the run game.

    So Race is now a Doog and happiness about losing by 7 exists. This is cute.

    Stanford's defense looks good against teams who players seem more interested in their Twitter feeds than their strength and conditioning. UW just doesn't play an aggressive style of defense anymore. Where Stanford has UW beat is that they field players who are physically prepared to play. The UW fields a bit too many tweeners that aren't even fast.

    Our best players are the fastest players (Shaq, Kikaha, Peters, Ross III, Shelton) Don James knew this and he put up with years where he didn't win as many games to develop players.

    You're really going for the catch phrases tonight. Still pressing. Not wanting to fire the coach after his first loss is hardly dooging.

    I understand people will be ripping the fake punt for ever. Its the internet. Get over it, we have bigger issues than that

    I'm not on the ledge yet, but that 2nd half performance and the fake punt was indefensible. I'm not going to judge Pete 5 games into year one, especially with his record. But dammit that game pissed me off and it was very winnable.
