Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Let's not get too confident about Saturday...

The last several years there has been a ton of optimism and hype (maybe not on this board but among the Doogs) going into Oregon week and each and every time we got plungered. This week's game is probably the most winnable one since 2003 but I'm still cautious.

2011: Last game at the old Husky Stadium. 1991 team honored. Many felt there's no way we could lose that night. Got plungered.
2012: Coming off the upset of Stanford at the Clink. Media was propping up Wilcox as a defensive guru that knew how to beat Oregon. Got plungered.
2013: Gameday on campus. Coming off a moral victory against Stanford. Media propping up Sark's new offense as being able to go head to head with Chip's. Got plungered.
2014: Coming off a beatdown of Cal. Media was propping up Petersen as beating Oregon twice at Boise Got plungered.
2015: Coming of an upset of USC. Media talking about this defense being able to shut down Oregon and that Oregon is done. ??????

    Who's confident?

    I'm confident Pete needs to win this one with all 3 quarterbacks going out on stretchers.

    I'm not at all confident he will.

    The only thing that gives me confidence about this game is the fact that Wazzu might have put in the worst tackling performance of the year for any pac 12 team that game, and still beat them. Granted they have a better offense.

    If UW can't beat Oregon now I don't know when they will. Lose Saturday and it's a disaster. Basically, it's Mortal Kombat and the strange fucker yells "finish him" and you just sit there playing with your dingy.

    What makes you think you will be better next year?

    We were still massive underdogs each of the past 4 years so anyone who felt anything special about any of those games must have been dooging big time.

    seriously, the closest spread in any of those years was 14 in 2013

    The one thing giving me pause is that, as the Cuogs showed, Oregon's glaring weakness is their secondary. Can Browning exploit that? If he can't the Huskies could be in trouble.

    You?

    Next year Oregon will have a quarterback not named lockie or Allie, the defense can't get worse, and Freeman has to come back next year. So there's that.

    Who knows. If the coaches remain, maybe there isn't a floor.

    Oregon is a train wreck and their defense is Swiss Cheese. Okay, our offense kind of sucks and Smiff is stupid.

    Still, it's right there in front of them.

    Victor being out is as bad news as we could get. He set the tone from play 1 and the dudes behind him suck dick. We (we?) will get butt-fucked all first half if we can't keep the ball.

    Victor being off the field might cost us 14 points in the first half. Him and KB are MVPs in the realest sense of that term.

    I could see us getting boat-raced, honestly.

    I just don't really know what to expect because we improved last year as the season went on and we might do that again this year. Or we might shit the bed like we did in every important game last year.

    I guess we'll find out Saturday, but right now this feels like an L.

    I'll probably end up looking stupid on saturday. But I think you are underrating just how bad oregon is

    Yeah, I mean... it's going to be a referendum on Peat. If he can do what should be done, I will give him a lot of credit because they have us mentally and our best player on D is out for a half.

    I want to believe, but our offense is fucking terrible and I have no faith in Babushka nor Peat to actually come up with a gameplan that plays to our advantages. I just haven't seen anything from them.

    You mooks all have battered wife syndrome. Uw wins and it won't be close. Rather easily, say 34-17?

    No you fucking shit for brains, we all have 'Myles Gaskin was clearly the best tailback immediately and Jaydon Mickens is a fag and we have an OC who keeps fucking trying to run Dwayne 'Straight Pride' Warshington and throwing bubble screenZ to Mickfuck because both work every now and then and also we like to abandon the run and we are losers until proven otherwise syndrome'.

    Go back to your mildewy shit barn of a city and stick a #2 pencil up your ass until you understand this point you pice of shit.

    Also, where in NTX do you live? I used to live there myself. Paging @Tequilla and @brchco12...

    That bubble screen should work to perfection against our stout prevent defense.
