SIMPLE QUESTION

At some point you have to beat the teams ahead of you like Stanford and Oregon. We've been good enough t o beat 7-12 fairly consistently for a few yrs. Time to get over the hump.

I don't think Utah is a tap in.

They just lost to Wazzu at home, what the fuck else would you call them?

A 3 footer with a little bit of elevation.

For me personally, the difference is I actually have faith in Petersen. Sark was always a keep your fingers crossed and pray he pulls something out of his ass situation.

Some here remind me a lot of the doogs in 2011 when UW was 5-1 with a loss to Nebraska. The writing was on the wall, but some wanted to just be happy with 5-1 and claim that Nebraska was unbeatable no matter what so it was OK. But there was a pattern, the HHB's saw it and were mocked for pointing it out. UW beat the weakest pac-12 teams and was rolled by the upper tier teams.

Same thing is happening now, except some here are clinging to nothing but hope in the face of very telling statistics.

And stop with the 10 win bullshit. That proves nothing with the shitty preseason and a 13 game schedule. HHs measure success or failure in conference. We can't change the rules for Petersen.

It's sort of like golf...

First, if it's like golf, let me keep score and we'll win 14.

But we barely beat Hawaii and we barely beat Eastern at home.

You may say we should have started out better, and that may or may not be valid.

But to say the game we watched Saturday was an improvement over those two games isn't changing the rules, it is simply a fact.

huh?

Sounds like you're saying progress can't be measured by the scoreboard - for the 15th year..

Here's what's confusing by some of your posts.

Most of us think Sark was a lousy recruiter, not because he couldn't get good talent, but because his classes showed no balance and he got a stiffy for "skill" positions at a detriment to what really matters.

And most of us thought Sark didn't teach fundamentals or at least his teams were not fundamentally sound - and that includes mentally tough.

Now Peterman takes over that group and suddenly by game 5 our lines should be great and we should be putting up 30 on the #1 defense in the country.

It's like wiping before you poop, it doesn't make sense.

I didn't say anything to the affect that UW should beat Stanford by 30. Go back through the threads over the past 9 months. See what this boards expectations were for this year. PLSS suggested this could be an 8 or 9 win team and was boo'd off the board.

I'm just amused that so many of the things that we relentlessly mocked doogs for saying are now being repeated by HHBs.

And it sounds like you're saying Eastern Eagles = Stanford Cardinals.

defense looks better.

Peterson said the offensive playbook is too big, lending to poor execution. Will be dialed back

Peterson said coaching needs to be looked at in depth...IE Jonathan Smith

EWU gave UW all they could handle for a win.

UW scored 6 points against Stanford in a loss,

Sounds about right.
