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

Have your expectations for the season changed?

    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.

    If you think Colorado is improved you haven't watched them play and Baer is thier DC.

    We lost one game to Stanford. Fuck changing expectations. If you can't see that they are one of the better teams in the conference, I can't help you. They could end up being the best. They lost to Utah last year and a shitty UW team in 2012. Shaw always blows a game or two. DIAFF if you actually think they aren't good and that Cal, Arizona, Oregon State, Colorado, Utah, ASU, and WSU are better.

    Some of you act like the other Pac 12 teams are dominant. Some of them suck. Cal still sucks and needed 3 OT's to beat Colorado at home. Arizona was playing at home and needed a hail mary to beat Cal. WSU lost to Nevada. ASU got shredded by UCLA who hadn't been lighting it up before that game. UCLA is a talented team possibly coming into their own, but has had their own struggles. Oregon State is nothing special. Oregon has some OL and defense issues and struggled with WSU. We aren't beating all of these teams, but let's get some perspective. We aren't a bad team and we could improve and actually end up being pretty good. Nothing has changed.

    This conference is still a fucking dreckfest.

    Stanford is the two time defending champ after all.
    Exactly why expectations shouldn't be changed. The other teams have problems too. UW can still be one of the cooler kids with down syndrome.

    I was too optimistic at the start….and still skeptical about winning 10…but I'll let it play out.

    As I said on the podcast, ASU is the key game. Win @CAL and @Col and beat ASU and we are 7-2 with UCLA, Arizona, OSU and WSU left. Not exactly a murderers row.

    If Peterman is who we hope he is, the team will get better as the season goes on and win games later in the season, whether it's UCLA, Arizona, or a bowl game. Same expectations for the season still apply.

    Losing to Stanford just means it's less likely UW will win the North, which was unlikely to begin with.
