    Are you stating that losing to BSU by two is a positive?

    It ain't over till we see the lawn mower. It's our latest sign of an impending loss. In the last decade, it was just seeing our defense on the field (or our hurry off the field offense as of late).

    After we beat Boise State in the second game we were 2-0 in the Jake Locker era. Ty had gon from 2 wins, to 5 wins, and was now 2-0 after having beaten a team that went 13-0 and beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl the year before. So I think most of us felt like a corner had been turned and Husky football was on the way back. Ty then lost the next 6 in a row. That is what I meant by the paranthetical comment.

    This is a huge game for so reasons so obvious they aren't worth listing.

    I nominate you to do 5-10 reasons each week because they are worth listing Aubbie.

    Please show me where I said losing the Vegas bowl was in any way positive.

    It's not a huge game at all. Here are the games that matter more on the 2013 schedule:

    Arizona
    @Stanford
    Oregon
    @Arizona St
    @UCLA
    @Oregon St

    If you're arguing that it is a huge game for momentum reasons, go re-read your post about the 2007 team or look at any of Sark's 2009-2012 seasons to see how little momentum means for Sark's inconsistent teams.

    It is a huge game for two reasons:

    1. Best case scenario, the Oregon game is a toss up. We have to win every other home game to get have the type of season we all want. (Well, everyone other than you.)

    2. Everyone else on the planet would acknowledge the psychological importance of winning this game.

    But I like how you are preemptively moving the goal posts, Hills. If Sark wins its no big deal. If he loses its a disaster. Well played.

    Hi there.

    It's the Pac-12 record that matters. If Sark goes 5-4 AGAIN, it's time to door.ass.out. him. He goes 6-3 or better and he gets to stay.

    If UW wins every home game and loses the four road games I just mentioned, he needs to leave.

    As for the psychology, UW should curbstomp its next two opponents regardless.

    Beating Mountain West teams at home is no big deal. It's what you are supposed to do. Losing to them in Seattle is just another sign that you have the wrong coach. See Gilby (Nevada) and Ty (Air Force) for details.

    I really should have put the Apple Cup on the list. That game matters more than the BSU game does.
