UW doesn't have any favors to start the year. 3 road games is never a fun way to start conference, but we're also used to the team not competing often on the road. All three games are winnable considering Wazzu sucks, and UCLA and USC haven't been doing anything all that impressive either.
Coming home to face the two worst teams of the pac12(so far) should mean UW comes away with a 3-2 record after the first 5. Doubtful we see a win in either utah or boulder and then a home game vs Wazzu. Looks like a 4-4 start to the year. The second half is going to be brutal with road trips to the bay(which has never been kind no matter how bad the teams are), and games in Oregon.
Still think this team is around 8 win team, but the main thing i'd like to see is a competitive team on the road.
Hopkins has won over the players and will make this season a lot of fun. He's done well recruiting as well and is building something very cool at UW. Might not make the NCAA's this year but the team is going to compete and make the season more interesting than most thought. Go Hop and go Dawgs!!!
Thanks for your thoughts SheenaEaston. I too am coming around to Hopkins as a coach, motivator and recruiter. I like Jens hire more and more as the players figure out just what the hell they are being asked to do. They are also probably in shock at being asked to do anything. Whatsoever. At all.

Fucking this, especially given the fact that The father son duo ain’t shit at Missouri. I wish Hop could have kept Daejon Davis because he would be starting right now at PG and probably tearing shit up with Nowell.
