@GrundleStiltzkin, do your work.

Damn. Can't lie, I'm surprised.

I have masturbated to this three times in the last 20 minutes. The crash down to earth when we play Arizona in the 4th game of the year is probably going to kill me. So we all have that to look forward to.

I'm not surprised that you're surprised since you are the ultimate nega doog.

You have to be carrying a lot of scar tissue and pessimism to not see where this team has a chance to be really good next year.

The TSIO podcast will look forward to announcing its new and improved lineup in early October

At the very least, we can put the Doog excuse of youth to rest. If Petersen is who we want him to be, Year 3 needs to be special.

The built in excuse for the remaining Doogs is that we're too young in year 3, but that year 4 might be a step back because of early departures defensively. Puppy championed this idea in earlier threads.

There is some validity that the D might take a step back if there is a mass exodus, but the team as a whole will be much stronger. Either way, this is the year the offense needs to click. There are no more excuses.

Not meaning to piss on @HeretoBeatmyChest's still-cooling corpse, but what possible validity can there be in these metrics 5 months before a game is played?

FPI is shit and you're all fags

I always found it interesting how metrics said we had a GREAT defense last year. Well, we still went 7-6 so that right there is an argument that the coach sucks and isn't who we thought.

I'm staying pessimistic because Pete hasn't accomplished anything yet and it's the way he lost some of those games. Not encouraging, but I'm not saying he should be gone yet. I'll give him this year, but he better win the division.

Can't expect a team to win when they are getting this much pre-season hype.

I think you're forgetting how young these Huskies are.


And how they inevitably shit the bed when any expectations of contention are raised.

If you're not carrying a lot of scar tissue at this point you either a) haven't been a UW fan for the past 15 years or b) you're too stupid to realize how this program has been raped year after year by it's own malicious administrative incompetence.

I agree there are some reasons to be optimistic. But we suck until we don't. Right now we suck.

Where have we heard this before???

Doogles

It goes without saying, but



The script is Pete botches the North because of a 3rd straight year of last place offense and fires Smith. Then Death Row leaves for the NFL or graduates and year 4 ends in a Sun Bowl victory against Boston College.

I suppose there's a c) option as well - you don't gaf about winning.
