The Huskies find a way to lose. The season is declared to be over. We discuss replacements.
The Huskies beat Syracuse then get killed by Nebraska as Heisman candidate Lockner throws for 12 yards.
We beat USC!!!1111!!!! (we?)
They lose 4 out of 5 with the annual 3 game losing streak.
Sark is toast excpet we know he really wasn't.
They beat three shitty teams (Hi Ballsacked, Hi beetlebutt, Hi Bearswiin)
They win the epic Holiday Bowl classic over Nebraska. I back track and say Sark may have turned it around. Most say fuck off Race.
They open 2011 with the easy teams up front and the momentum is building. Then they crash as always against the good teams.
Three years and beyond any doubt you need to fire his ass. Except he gets two more years before Haden saves us.
The moral of this story?
Petermen better beat Boise at Stater Brothers Stadium or the season is over and he will end up deserving to be fired.
We were right. We always are.

"They win the epic Holiday Bowl classic over Nebraska. I back track and say Sark may have turned it around. Most say fuck off Race."
That was the closest we came to full blown HHB civil war. Only another off-season natty kept us from storming iDawg's basement and tearing down the podcast equipment. -
Ah 2010. Definitely my doogiest year. Locker coming back, end of year blowout wins.
Almost - almost - went to Provo to watch locker kick off his heisman campaign. Lucky I dodged that bullet.
The funniest part is that after the loss, the UW kept up it's locker campaign. I remember they were sending cards with his stats (which looked fine on paper) after the byu and Syracuse games.
Fucking Nebraska* put an end to that nonsense. Don't recall any stat cards after that.
*1st game ive ever left at halftime. -
Actually, let me revise that. My doogiest moment came after the Nebraska game when Hugh broke down each locker pass to show that he actually was an amazing quarterback and the receivers, wind, God?, all conspired for his historically horrific completion %.
I caught myself wanting to believe, trying to convince myself that hugh was right. But deep down I knew.
Dark days. -
Wow. So if he losses to @BSU to open the season you are D.A.O. on CCP? Am I twisting? I think that is kind of harsh for a coach of Petersons record, but whatever.
I think UW is probably a 3 or 4 pt underdog in that game. This place will be interesting if they lose, or it won't, either way...

The only caveat that I have to what Race said is that I need to see the QB position.
I generally agree with the notion that you can without great QB play ... but to do so you need to have a strong running game and good defense. I don't see reason to expect us to have a dominant running game or a dominant defense (although I could be surprised).
To get to the 8+ win range for 2015 UW needs far better QB play than what they received in 2014. -
I'm sticking to my guns and giving him a full second season before I give up on Peterman.
Then again I can see myself already posting in the game thread for him to be fired at halftime of the Boise State game if we are down by more than 10 points.

Agree totally.... But we aren't beating Boise.RaceBannon said:Sark opens his second season on the road at BYU. The podcast of record proclaims that if Sark can't beat BYU with an entire off season to prepare the season is over and he is the wrong coach for the job.

Washington beats Boise 35-17

tyrone beat Boise for Christ Sake. The only local corch that can't beat Boise is Chimp Smelly (LOL), and Sark once in awhile.
-
Despite the exodus of talent I still think Peterman can employ a bit of trickeration and get us off to a fast start.
-
It will be disappointing if we lose to Boise and raise alarms regarding Petersen, but as Tequilla mentioned the QB play is so atrocious and with the losses on D and lack of running game make it understandable.
When you break down the key areas of good football, OL, RB, QB we look pretty terrible. -
Blows my mind that some of the dooglier posters on here are already writing bsu off as a loss. Embarrassing. 2 offseasons with the team by this point. If the game isn't at worst a toss up then Petersen isn't remotely who we thought he was.
-
Except we don't have a QB, a new OL that isn't particularly exciting, and the best players on defense are all gone. And the game is on the blue turf where Boise has always been great. Besides all of that, I love our chances.Gladstone said:Blows my mind that some of the dooglier posters on here are already writing bsu off as a loss.

But I guess we can doog it up and pretend this will be a good team after another off season natty. -

Exactly what I am thinking. 2015 was going to be a disaster and it was known like 3 years ago. Terrific roster management will do that.RoadDawg55 said:

2010 was only a year removed from Owen12
Yet it was an accurate barometer
As will this year. If Petersen is exceptional the season will not be a failure as so many already expect. If he's like Sark then fuck him

Petersen needs to start proving it by the end of next year. It's not the best analogy but you could see the Seahawks were going to be good in the future at the end of the 2002 and 2011 seasons. That's the vibe that's needed.

I look at the way Arkansas played late this year as a good barometer. I think that team is on a really good trajectory and that was Bert's 2nd year. I agree he needs to show something at the end of the year. I want to see young guys actually playing and producing more than anything, plus wins.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Petersen needs to start proving it by the end of next year.

Agreed to an extent. At some point the QB situation will be on Petersen and I'm not exactly thrilled by his decision making on that subject last year, but the fact remains his solutions to that issue are freshmen.RaceBannon said:2010 was only a year removed from Owen12

If Sark the great recruiter had a Max Browne on the roster there might be a serviceable buffer to get his guys up to speed.
The QB issue is fucking serious and the child of Bear Bryant and Don James couldn't fix it.
If Miley is the guy next year we need to be running the option and they better not teach him how to fucking slide. -
Remember it was season 3 when James took off . I'd be much happier if Petersen launched us in 2015 but it is difficult for me to see.
2015 I see 6-6
I'd be mildly pleased with 7-5
2016 10 wins or GTFO ...

They have to win the opener. After that the rest of the pre season is a gimmie. 6 conference wins, 5 minimum. 8 or 9 wins.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

There is a reason to look at the opener to see if his program is taking hold.
I agree year 3 is the big one but if people write off next year as over already they don't think Petersen can coach
14 years of the year after next is enough -

Utah State is 30-11 the last 3 years - far from a push over. We're at home and should win. But I'm also not going to sit here and beat my chest like it's a formality that we will.
And at this point, I haven't looked enough at Boise to get a feeling as to whether or not they will be good or not going into 2015. What I do know is that better teams than the 2015 UW team will have gone into Boise before ... and many of them have lost. -
Froooog-Related Post:
Going into 2014, I spewed that TCU's Big 12 problems were more tied to the lack of QB play than the fact that they lacked the athletes to compete in the Big 12. They got QB play in 2014 and look at what happened.
I don't think that the 2015 Washington roster will be as strong as the 2012-2013 TCU roster, but they probably aren't that far off when it comes to the non QB play. IF Washington got elite level QB play, then my opinion of the 2015 season would be far different. As it is, there's no reason to have a lot of faith in the QB position. If they did get elite QB play, then being a darkhorse to win the PAC North is definitely an option (which is what I said going into the year regarding the 2014 TCU team).
The 2015 Washington team will start and end with QB play. Pepsi is also right about Arkansas being a great comp although I think you could see a path to their success starting last year. With all the turnover in our roster in some key spots, I'm thinking that we're maybe a little behind where Arkansas was going into last year.
