Here is how the season is going to go;

Auburn power fucks UW, but the Huskies make in interesting once the second unit is in like the Fiesta Bowl last year but no one nationally notices because they turned it off before then. Doogs complain about lack of respect as Pete goes 0-career in statement games at UW but he is elite or something.

Oregon starts out 3-0 with a margin of victory that looks like 95 Nebraska. They beat a not good Stanford team and Cal and the media hypes a 5-0 Oregon vs 4-1 UW at Autzen. The Ducks aren't there yet, lose to UW. The media calls Oregon a paper tiger, which they are, and UW isn't a real contender, which they aren't. They drop in the polls with a win, Doogs unite.

The entire conference spins into a dog-eat-dog shit show that is super entertaining but plays into the hands of the national pundits that the conference is terrible, which it is.

Another 1-8ish type bowl season happens again. Larry Scott is canned, we switch back to an 8 team conference schedule.

we dont deal in hypotheticals

This narrative that Pete hasn't won big/statement at UW doesn't make sense to me … what games has he really blown?

He's won a conference title. He's made it to the CFP.

Lose to a reasonably talented USC team at home … I don't consider that blowing it as a statement game. That was more Browning being completely exposed. Losing to Alabama isn't blowing anything either.

Now, if you want to talk about Stanford last year, then perhaps I'm willing to listen to that. Losing to Penn State given what the injury situation looked like on both sides of the ball I'm not entirely sure I care too much about.

I doog it up for Pete more than 90% of UW fans...but what’s his best win since coming to UW? Granted, the conference sucks so outside of OOC games there aren’t many opportunities. But when he’s really only played a handful of games vs top teams and hasn’t won any of them, that criticism is warranted.

Utah to win the p12 South at +450 is the bet to make. They get USC and Arizona (the only other 2 South teams worth a shit) at home so should have the h2h tiebreaker over both those

but they suck. so theres that

Is there anyone in the South who doesn't suck? USC is going to be shit this year.

Not really. We should be a bit better than last year. But mediocre to slightly better yet still mediocre doesnt really move the needle.

It's one of those years that's going to come down to who keeps their QB healthy for the most games and get's some lucky bounces.

Who knows. But I think ur devils are one Manny Wilkins failed hurdle away from disaster. Don’t twist, that fucker is talented and fun to watch. If You still had Dr Phil as a D coordinator, I’d say your even with SC. But Herm seems like a blitzer and that’s what you didn’t and don’t need.

Oh we're totally done if he goes down


We run the SDSU defense now which isn't as blitz heavy as what we had before

LOL. The Ryan Burns-led Stanford Cardinal, that finished 3rd in the P12 North and squeaked out a Sun Bowl victory over UNC.

Not sure this is the hill you want to die on if that's Pete's flagship win.

PS WSU's beat down of them in Palo Alto the following week was just as, if not more, impressive.

Kudos to you for trying so hard.
