If we win out, we've turned a corner

ExtraChrisB

10-3 (and a top 15-20 finish) would have to be considered a success, and I don't know how any of you could deny that.

dhdawg

key word being if. I'll agree with u if it includes also bringing in top lineman in recruiting which is something that should come with 10 wins. However this is all moot cause it's never happening

no one is denying 10-3 would be incremental progress

see you in two weeks

I think a win in Pasadena makes the OSU game a lock. A loss in Pasadena makes the OSU game a near certain loss IMO. Big game this week.

This team is losing their next two games. Sark has proven he can't beat decent/good teams on the road.

He has only two road wins against teams with winning records in his career. One was against Lane Kiffin and the other was Utah.

I rest my fucking case.

... and if my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle. We clown stomp two of the worst teams in America, and now the doogs are talking 10 wins and top 10 ranking. The talent is there, but the coaching is not. Please see the quote, below.

10 wins looks impressive to the outsider who doesn't see that we got absolutely destroyed by the more elite teams in the conference. 9 wins will be an easy feat next year when one actually looks at our schedule.

Nothing can be described as incremental progress until 7 stops getting blown out by Oregon, stops the damn 3-4 game losing streak, and knocks off at least one or 2 of the elite teams in the conference.

Hyperbole if I've ever seen it.

I'm not one to accept moral victories, not at all, but to say we got "absolutely destroyed" is a damn lie. We got blown out in one game (ASU), let another get away from us late (Oregon), and should have beaten the best team in the conference (Stanford).

I know the doom and gloom is your schtick but come on. Am I happy with the season so far? Hell no. Shit I was calling for Sark's head after ASU. But to argue that winning the final 6 to end the season 10-3 isn't improvement is ludicrous.

Now, if we come out and shit the bed next week, that changes everything.

10-3 with wins against Idaho, A down Boise State, horrible Colorado and fcktarded Cal that shour be in the WAC and an Illinois team that has not won a big 10 game in how long?

Yep Washington is back!

Dooging it up is your shtick, apparently.

Unlike Kim G. Or Chris F., the HHB guys like facts and data over context and emotions.

Facts you should recheck.

1. Losing by 20 points is an ass kicking any way you spin it - regardless of 3rd quarter scores. Ask any NCAA coach worth his salt and see how they feel about a couple of 20 point whoopings when your team is going Through A "special" season.

2. I checked espn, NCAA.com, and CFBstats.com. Couldn't find any stats related to score at the end of 3rd quarter? Why don't the professionals keep track of scores after 3 quarters?

3. Tyrone Willingham took the paltry dogs to a tie score into the 4th against the ranked Ducks in 2007. Final score - a 55-24 plunger rape. So you must like Ty?

4. The Special Teams stayed home against Stanford and laid an egg. That is a coaching deficiency, not a moral victory.

5. There are no moral victories in big boy football.

Looks like doogman is more your style. If you need help around here, PM Irisdoog22. He has this place dialed in.

6-3 in conference play is the bare minimum of incremental progress. I guess it's "success", but it's really shitty success.

Stanford is the game that got away because of poor special teams.

Oregon beat us by 3 TDs. It was a blowout. Sort of keeping within 7-14 pts. for three quarters isn't good enough.

The ASU game was another humiliation. Sure 10-3 is better, but it's Karl Dorrell better.

DerekJohnson

Did UCLA let the Oregon game "get away from them"?

No, the Bruins got whipped. But for Sark, it got away from him. Interesting.

How can you turn a corner if you are in the same place as ever? We can still beat mediocre teams but not good ones...

It's called running in circles

UW "turned the corner" on a crisp December night, in San Diego, back in 2010.
Because THIS is Sark's ceiling. Sure...the occasional 9 or 10 win season will come along. And all the doogs will wet their panties. But even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.

No program as soft, undisciplined and lacking in solid fundamental football will ever be a serious national contender.

And nothing in recent history has given me any reason to believe that Sark will win in either Corvallis or Pasadena

But hey...anytime you play in Pasadena it's "special" right?

gmo

so Pac-12 records year to year if we finish out 3-0

4-5
5-4
5-4
5-4
6-3

6-3 should buy him one more year if UW still cared about football. It doesn't so that would buy him another extension.

I (like just about everyone on here) think we lose 1-2 more which would put us back at 5-4 or 4-5. Rinse repeat for the foreseeable future until we get a real winner to lead the charge.

Yes, hopefully the bowl committee will realize we really only have like one loss, because we kind of beat Stanford if you watched the game and certainly the 21 point loss at home to Oregon was a win because it took them until after half time to finish the job.

Ty had a 10 win season at Notre Dame.

This. It's progress, but who gives a shit? We are still a middle tier team and we be one again next year.
