On a neutral field, with Petersen having seen Sark once already, Boise's precision and cunning and focused intensity is enough to run circles around our coach.

But opening up at the new Husky Stadium is a different matter. Well into the first quarter, the crowd will still be abuzz from the wow factor of the stadium. Fans will keep looking across to the other side, astonished by how close the fans are from previous years, and they'll be doing the GOOOOOO!.......... HUSKIEEEEEEEEES!!!! chant over and over.

Does anyone remember the loudness factor vs. Miami in 2000? Or USC in 1990? I think it will be like that. This is why Washington wins this game.

It would take the most wretched of first half performances, coupled with Boise receivers running free through our young secondary, for the crowd to downshift into a humdrum murmur for the remainder of the contest.

    Rather easily, say 34-17?

    I actually typed that but removed it thinking it too trite. Even for us.

    Interesting thoughts. The stadium and crowd may account for saving Sark his job. Probably good for one or two wins despite mediocre head coaching. I will give Sark some credit: he has pulled off some one game wonders. Granted they are obscured by the 7-6>7-6>7-6 we cant accept. But, I think Sark rises to the occasion to produce a victory against BSU.

    The closer it gets to game time, the more nervous I get. Other than last year, Boise has won every early season game I have ever watched them play. Some of these games were against teams a lot better than UW.

    I agree about the stadium, but it only takes a couple big pass plays by Boise State for it all to change. I don't know if a loud stadium will be enough. Southwick is entering his second year as a starter, and I expect him to be better this year. Unless we play much better than we have in any previous opener under Sark, we will lose the game, new stadium or not.

    I know we have more talent, but Boise develops their guys better and I can't ignore Peterson vs. Sark. I think it will be a very close game.

    yep 100% agree, that's why I picked UW in pick 'em. Of course when u have the whole offseason to prepare for a game and it's so clear 1 coach is better, u would usually favor that team. I just think the energy will be unmatched. But I warn you if boise does score early and silence the crowd we're in trouble. I'm banking on that not happening

    Boise Nurse's Assistant College and Peterson have always been overrated. Yes, he's organized and gets a lot of his players, but put them in a real conference and they turn into Utah or Texas Christian Muslim really fast. Also, he lost to Ty. For these reasons, and the home field, Warshington wins and the goateed douchebags in orange drive 500 miles away. Thanks for making us go to their oversized high school stadium in the future, pool bitch.

    If I've learned anything in the last 12 years its that this is a loss. Everything you said makes perfect sense which makes it perfectly clear that Boise State will win. Cook it.

    This is Tys Oregon game.

    As much as it sucks, Sark getting plundered in the new stadium opener might be the best thing for the program. Yes, I want America to fail.
