Is the season over?

7-6, book it

Passion

dick "coaches-should-never-get-fired" baird? The guy has absolutely Z-E-R-O credibility. An ex-coach? Sure, but he has ruined his good name with the constant excuses and pandering over the past decade plus. I want to urinate in his bourbon.

Not to mention he actually had the audacity to scrap with me on air. What gall.

"Although the pre-season has a balance of one really good “A” caliber team (Boise State), one Big Ten “B level” team (Illinois, a 2-10 team last season), and one lower division “C” opponent, (Idaho State), they will be played in that order. Ideally you would want to play in reverse order and progressively improve along with the level of your opponent."

I stopped reading there.

Bairds been using this FS talking point for years. Oh having to play a good team your first game is so hard, except that your opponent is in the exact same position. There is no advantage gained by playing Boise in the third game if they also get to play two games before it. It only makes sense if you are incapable of thinking.

And calling Boise an A game and Illinois a B game. Christ. UW is playing a B-F-F ooc schedule.

I too laughed at referring to BSU, Illinois and Idaho State as an ABC schedule. The only saving grace is the road trip to Chicago.

To be fair, it's a B-C-F schedule. Illinois is a BCS conference team after all.

That was a friggin disappointing season. Beating Ohio State and Miami in OOC games in the same season back then meant you had enough talent to compete for a conference title. Losing to USC always sucks, but it was downright embarrassing to lose to Oregon, Stanford and the Cougs that year. That was a clear sign that a change at the top would be needed.

Lambright should have been fired on the 50 yard line at the end of the Apple Cup Oregon game.

Kind of makes me wonder what other teams think about playing Washington.

Are we a B or C game?

Fuck.
