    I don't know where the pre-season thread went but most people considered 10 wins a good season. Can't move the goalposts like Auburn.

    9-4 and the season is a failure. 10-3 passes.

    Will be favored against OSU and should split ASU/UCLA. Thats 9-3, win the bowl for 10 wins.

    Winning out would show real progress, but thats only realistic if you win this weekend.

    Sadly, I agree with greenblood and would guess 9-4 at this point.

    And where have I ever said that moral victories are a good thing?

    In the first three words of this thread.

    1) A win is all that matters - a loss is a loss no matter by how much ... at the end all that they measure is wins vs losses

    2) If you lose, that doesn't mean that there aren't things that you did well ... just like if you win there aren't things that you did poorly

    3) When you do lose, how do you rebound and get yourself back on track? For this program this week, this is a week full of pressure and adversity. We'll see what kind of sack most of these guys have this weekend.

    Your ongoing optimism in the face of a mountain of evidence is so cute.

    I don't even think UW will be favored against OS. The Beavers will likely be 7-3 going into that game and could be 8-2 if they beat Stanford at home or win at ASU. Unlike the Huskies, the Beavers have actually proven they can win on the road in the Pac-12.

    By the way, I'm 100% sure UW won't win out if they don't win this weekend.

    9-4 would tell me that the program more or less hit expectations this year ... the "negative" to that would be that you'd like for the program to outperform at some point under Sark ... that would be an area for concern.

    YRYK.

    As much as I hate to admit it, because after the last two TSIFO, I think I did say 9-4 would be decent, but still shoudl get him canned due to SOS and YEAR 5, and 10-3 would be a solid season. So yeah, 10-3 and I will ease up. 9-4 he should still be canned but I won't yell at Auburn (RIP) all the time. 8-5 or worse, I am going nuclear.

    9-4 this year is still underperforming:

    Hope this helps even though I know it won't.

    Sark should be fired if he goes 5-4 in conference for the fourth year in a row. 6-3 barely buys him one more year.

    Was point #3 from today or from last Monday?

    Sarkspeak. It is having its intended effect.

    We lost 59 to 24, maybe 59 to 14 ... depending on how a few calls go.

    The touchback was a good call, but it was self-imposed by Oregon, not by us.

    Lowe was wide open - I catch that pass and walk in for 6.

    Almost as embarassingly as when Chip did it for his mancrush, Helfrich killed the clock with 6 or 7 minutes to go.

    The truth is, they could have scored 70 on us with only slightly different circumstances that have nothing to do with our play, and they basically kept Sankey in check but for two plays.

    If all you're going to call Oregon is "good", then we are crap.

    If we're a good team, then they are historically great.

    I'm sorry. The silver lining that you see entirely escapes me.
