Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Have your expectations for the season changed?

    10 wins, same as over

    Remaining two losses come to Arizona and Oregon.

    Anything less than 6-3 is a fucking joke with this roster

    How long are we going to pretend that Sark left this team stacked? Damone has debunked it.
    I think there is plenty of talent. Certainly not enough grit or willingness to work hard to learn fundamentals and a new system, the lack of which contributes to the great inconsistency we've seen on the field.

    I had higher expectations for this season than appear to be probable at this point. I'm okay with that and want Petersen to "blow it up" if he believes getting the program to the level he and we desire will happen sooner than if the progress appeared more incremental, as a 6-3 conference record might indicate. Kind of tough for guys like Cooper and Kasen Williams, who seem would be OKGs if they had more eligibility remaining.

    Damone didn't debunk shit, he just proved that Sark massively underachieved and was really overrated.

    This is still a roster with a bunch of decent, experienced lineman, 4 star receivers, decent-to-good RB's, and a 4 star QB at the helm.

    It's not "stacked", but it should be good enough to go 6-3 in conference. That's only a 1 win improvement from Sark's 5-4 m.o.

    The nuance everyone seems to be missing is that Sark recruited well, but didn't develop for shit, hence the shitty line, etc.

    10 wins or gtfo. That includes, and has always included, the bowl game. I don't how some of you do math around here but bowl games count towards win totals. He can win 1 extra conference game or he can win the bowl game. If I wanted 6 conference wins I would have said 6 conference wins or gtfo.

    fucking THIS

    I expected 10 wins with 6-3 and think that is what this team should be able to do talent wise. I think I am going let down though. I don't see a winning record in conference play. I am thinking maybe 3 or 4 wins. I really do not think stanford is that good (we will find out this weekend). Their offense did not impress me but seemed to move the ball on us.
    I am sick of people blaming sark for the talent that is on the team. THere is enough talent to win 6 conference games. The main thing that Sark did that was bad with respect to talent is the lack of depth at safety this year and the O-Line Next year. Sark is a mediocre coach and I am glad he was snatched by USC, but so far this season is not off to a good start. We have just looked like shit so far. Miley didn't look that bad last year so hopefully Petersen can figure that out.

    Fixed. Puppy was a month ahead of Damone on this take.

    The standard for me is always 10 wins. All the rest is just window dressing or excuses. I expect 10 wins every year, no matter what is going on. I won't lower my expectations because Miley is a dumpster fire. Now asking me if I think the team meets my expectations is a different story. But the expectation is ALWAYS 10 wins or GTFO.

    You guys are frikkin nuts if you think THAT TEAM is going to win 5 or 6 games in conference. Cal and Colorado are much improved, WSU is going to be tuff at home.

    Way, way WAY overrated team. It's the auburndog syndrome-'shaq and shelton and kikasomeass with our skill guys........'.

    Rather doogish to insist that the obviously flawed 2014 team is going to somehow pull it together and start dominating.

    I seriously doubt very much that you guys will beat the beavs...........at home.

    My expectations didn't change watching the game... I think Peterman wins 5 games easy.

    But, listening to talk radio and reading doog posts, I now wonder if Washington will win another game 'at this level'
