Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Is our late-season optimism warranted?

FREE PUB! Good article Derek. There is nothing wrong with being positive, but some perspective is also needed. It's been a very long time since we consistently beat good teams.

What is the perspective we're missing from the fact the team played great... it's youngest lineups of the season, the last two games?RoadDawg55 said:FREE PUB! Good article Derek.

Because they have mostly been beating shitty teams like Oregon State and WSU for a long time. They were nice wins, but everyone and their mom knew they were going to be wins. Like Derek mentioned, Sark closed out 2009 well. He won 4 straight to close out 2010.sarktastic said:

Petersen isn't Sark, but this team was still the same. We beat up on weak teams and shit the bed against the good ones. You are one of the dipshits like Canard mentioned that think "WE'RE BACK!" because of these wins. -

UW didn't get plungered by anyone not named UO and no 3 game losing streak. 2 things that sark was known for. Also, not a bunch of dumbshit press conference where he would say shit he would then not back up or fucking dude brah type quotes. That alone makes me feel better about things.RoadDawg55 said:

I'm optimistic. CP will probably either be pretty good or really good. Like I've said, expecting USC 2002 through 2007 is a little much right now. We haven't done that since people were wearing leather helmets. Start out trying to win the North. That will probably take an 8-1 record.

Very frustrating season. El poder de siete? Probably. There were signs of progress along the way, but until they consistently beat winning teams, this is still el equipo de seite, and nothing more. Piss poor competition or not, the team did play a hell of a lot more cohesively at the end of the season than at the beginning, so I'd agree that there is justifiable reason for optimism, but it has to be tempered with the reality that this was a disappointing season and this team has a lot to prove.
Year three is the mark as we all know. If el hedor de siete has not been washed away by then, then it will be time for another new regime. Peterson needs no excuses and I'm confident he doesn't expect any. The man just won his 100th game in D-1, against 17 losses, that's no small feat and not something the undisciplined, excuse mongering achieve. He will hold himself and his staff accountable. He expects to win and win big here. If he doesn't it will be time for him to LEAVE, it's that simple. -
I am excited about the player development I saw from beginning to end. I could give a shit about the wins. I saw improvement from the first game to the last. Something not noticeable in years past.

I agree, player development was among the positive signs. To matter, it has to translate to winning though. It should, but as always, LIPO is the answer for now. The coaches have to improve their game day performances too, or they'll just lose with better, more developed talent.CuntWaffle said:I am excited about the player development I saw from beginning to end.

Along those lines, among the most stark of Seven's flaws has to be the lack of player development. Good god, what the hell was that dipshit up to, beyond chugging beers and chasing tail at Joey's (allegedly)? Seriously. The quarterbacks actually devolved under him. Wow, just fucking wow.
