Auburn is a measuring stick game
Auburn has a clear talent advantage against us. Looked at the last 4 years of recruiting rankings and they finished 9th every year - this year they signed 16 4 stars. 10 4 stars and 1 5 star in 2017. 12 4 stars and 1 5 star in 2016. 19 4 stars and 1 5 star in 2015. They have a top 10 class in each of the last 4 years. The only class we have that even looks comparable to them is this year, and theirs is still better on paper. They are going to have much better talent than we have. This is the only chance in the schedule next year to finally get over the hump and beat one of these type teams.
In Hamdan we trust. In Browning we don't. Run the fucking ball. It's our only hope.

Season either ends week 1 or we roll into P12CG undefeated ranked #2 or #1.

TSIO before it can even begin.Swaye said:I don't gaf that it's the first game of the year. We have played 3 games in the last 2 years against teams with a clear talent advantage against us - USC, Pedo State, Bama. Result: 0-3.

Scheduling Auburn is the best thing UW could have done. Takes big balls, like UO scheduling LSU in 2011 and Auburn in 2019, Ohio State the following year. Win the game and you're an instant early season playoff contender. Lose and it will be a good loss.

Also, it looks even worse when you show it that way. That is a severe talent deficit for our DWAGS!Swaye said:

The SEC barely travels outside of their comfort zone. Tennessee does at times. Georgia played ASU in Tempe about 10 years ago. Auburn played @ USC 15 years ago. A couple teams might play at Oklahomo. LSU played Wisconsin in Green Bay and lost of course. They're basically pussies who play 8 conference games and 3 or 4 OOC cupcakes.oregonblitzkrieg said:

Washington should have insisted on a 1 for 1 or at least a gayme in Dallas or something. -
It was an invite game. Similar to a bowel. Either you accept it or you don't. Auburn had little to do with the terms. We get lots of extra revenue for it compared to playing north montana sky juco.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

UO scheduled a 1 for 1 with Georgia a few years back but those pussies backed out. You're right, they're pussies. But as long as they sit on the top of the heap, other teams just have to accept what they offer or not play them at all.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

We had a sweet neutral game against tamu in Houston.
It's fucking idiotic.
The deck is stacked against you. -
Lotta losers lose in this thread

I feel inadequate about this game.

Pac-12 won't get West coast neutral site games until the new NFL stadiums in Vegas and LA are built.

We’re going get shredded by 21 in the first half, then come back and lose by 3-7.

According to doogs, when Oregon lost to them by 3 it was a total plungering. The same metrics will be applied to the impending UW loss.haie said:We’re going get shredded by 21 in the first half, then come back and lose by 3-7.

Because Oregon was physically dominated. It was still a close game. It’s football. Doesn’t always mean the superior team is going in dry 70-21 style.oregonblitzkrieg said:

No, that's how long it takes to drunkenly speed walk there after tailgating in e1 for a few hours before realizing the game isn't at husky stadium.RaceBannon said: -
Auburn sucks. The only thing that sets them apart is that they are the most boring team in the world. Even their defense is boring. Their best player is the kicker. If even UCF beat them, UW has no fucking excuses.

They are actually good once every 4-5 years. They do have a good QB returning. That will make things tough.BlastDoor said:Auburn sucks.

Agree with you that Auburn is sort of the UCLA of the SEC, all the talent in the world that *usually* under performs. But, as our resident asian says they do put it all together every few years. The talent is there in spades - I'm talking USC type talent. They are loaded. Every fucking year. And with decent QB play they are super dangerous. Especially with our shit QB play.BlastDoor said:Auburn sucks. The only thing that sets them apart is that they are the most boring team in the world. Even their defense is boring.

If the game was at Husky Stadium we'd ass fuck those guys Miami 2000 style. Fuck.
