This whole what if we win 10 conversation is stupid. Sark has 5 years of data to show he doesn't beat teams like UCLA and Oregon State on the road. I'm sure UW will battle in them but will find a way to lose.
Doogs will blame the refs, Price, some random assistant coach and ignore that Sark is 7-17 on the road heading into this two game stretch. He'll be 7-19 after this.
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.
If? Perhaps, but he isn't winning the next 3. I still have questions about Mora, but I doubt Mora loses to Sark in Cali -- might be a different matter in Seattle.
I also don't see the other two games as gimmies... our D hasn't proven it can stop a high caliber passing attack, and OSU is always a wild card. Our only hope is if our inconsistent offense can put up points, and that seems to change week to week against teams without losing records.
Sark could easily lose all three, and I'd not be surprised at all.

yep, our clear lack of pass rush really shows when we go up against a pass first offense
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.
You're a fucking idiot ChrisBVashonfs. If you had any element of a thinking brain, you'd follow trends and patterns that have been established in watching Sark through what is now over 4.5 years of coaching this program. We play Stanford well, so what. Look what that got us the following 2 games. Look at what beating Stanford got us last year other than how it showed that Shaw shits the bed once a year too. It exposed our line in an embarrassing manner, Keith Price was on his back more than a hooker that night (and injured to boot), and we ended up 7-6. This year, we had our biggest moral victory in Sark's career then followed it up with blowout (read: the usual embarrassment of mid season that involves a 3-4 game losing streak) losses ONCE AGAIN!
You're too fucking stupid to figure out that Sark's blowout losses aren't an anomaly; they are the norm and have been for 5 consecutive seasons since we first gave him the golden bike with training wheels. They are the contribution of three consecutive 7-6 seasons. You call it doom and gloom, I call it the results of the scoreboard and the reality of having watched the games with similar results.
I can't believe I even decided to respond to you. Just out your doogman.com handle so we can just confirm that we haven't all been whooshed with your post.

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.
Doog Rules: If we lose by 21, it got away from us. We win by 21, it's a slaughter. Hey, I don't make the rules; Kimmy does.

Karl Dorrell Better? Thats awesome Marshall. Love it!
10-3 Sark gets a 20 million dollar 5 year extension yes that is exactly what I want. So we can continue to play shitty flag football and never have hopes and admirations for a bowl game that matters ever again.
Oh whoops I forgot that Cyler Miles is QB next year and that the team won't be young anymore.
Doogs will blame the refs, Price, some random assistant coach and ignore that Sark is 7-17....s.
It's Mike Cox's and Jeff Mills' fault that we lost Banner and Garnett, you know? That problem is now fixed and Sark won't let something like that happen again.

I never understood how doogs accepted that excuse. How can the head coach not be checking in with his assistant about how recruiting is going with a player like Garnett or Banner? It is the head coach's job to oversee his staff and make sure they are doing their jobs. If I were Woodward, that alone would put his neck on the chopping block, especially when it is compounded with 7-6 records.
Woodward really has been holding his hand pat. He hasn't extended Sark's contract. That tells me at least that he's thinking about firing him. All things considered, I think Woodward takes a much bigger risk giving him a 5 year extension, than he does firing him and going with a new HC. A new HC would have less pressure to win than Sark in year 6.

Fuck incremental progress!
If you don't agree with me, go fuck yourself.
