    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.

    So Race is now a Doog and happiness about losing by 7 exists. This is cute.
    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
    You've actually kind of won me over on the fake punt. I still think punting was the right move. But if there are people defending it then it's at least controversial. My initial reaction was that was idiotic he has to know better and that worried me. But if people think it was the right call, or at least defensible, then I feel better about it.

    I think punting was the right move as well and I was pissed that he faked it. But I understand why he did.

    the only problem I have with the fake punt is where Washington was where they did it. They should have been at Stanford's 35 or 40 when you are in no mans land for a field goal and a punt does not do you much good and then try a fake with Shaq Thompson.

    This. Maybe I'm stuck in 1965 but you never fake punt in your own territory. It's not the Party Bowl vs. Oklahomo where are you have nothing to lose and your stupid running back proposes to loose cheerleaders on the sideline.

    It's depressingly bad because our QB is Fouch-esque throwing to a team of DiAndre Campbell WRs.

    Because the defense was already gassed and the offense can't generate anything on it's own.
