They bought into what Sark was smoking, which is a rich blend of Sarkish....

What is the context around this statement?

Lather, rinse, repeat.

The same program that brought you Jake Locker acknowledging that the team might have been "overconfident" going into Oregon game... coming off a 4-9 season!

Just that dumb weekly Pac 12 show with the Weez, the Asian Ryan Seacrest and Lott. When they got to UW, Lott pointed out that he was concerned that Washington might throw in the towel at this point because of extreme disappointment w/ how the seasons has played out, and his point is they still have a lot to play for because they were never going to be an elite team with legit. BCS aspirations. The idea being not to jump off a bridge for going 7-6 because that's probably who we were all along and maybe not that bad of a result given who we REALLY are.topdawgnc said:What is the context around this statement?
He's just saying, "hey, Washington, chill out, you were never going to be that good this year."
I tend to agree with him. Some lucky breaks here and there might have put us in a position now where we'd be running around with our cocks in the air thinking we're world beaters until we played the next real team to come crashing down to earth. We don't have the quality or depth on either LOS to realistically expect more than what we've been given.
Take Oregon game for example. Most of my Doog buddies (95% of them) walked away thinking a break here or there UW's way and UW wins. Reality is we were dominated on both LOS, they easily left 14, arguably 21 pts. on the board, and we played over our heads at home because it's them. In hind sight, we have learned that Oregon is an inconsistent and sometimes sloppy team, and they still could have walked out of our stadium easily scoring 50+, and that's w/o Mamba and w/o Huff for a good % of the game. That's Lott's point. We're just not that good. -
I still wish Neuheisel had punched him for saying that though.creepycoug said:

Tell Ronnie Lott to fill out a coaching job application if he fucking thinks he knows so much about football.

Sark's just not that good.
He cost UW the Stanford, ASU and UCLA game.
None of those loses are on the kids (I like to call'em kids). It was Sark being out coached, and/or unprepared.
Stanford proved to me there is some damn good talent there.
Price included.

Im watching Ronnie Lott now. He's a fumbling bumbling idiot. Ricky has to interject every time he opens his mouth, just to help him complete a sentence. PAINFUL to watch.. Every team thinks they are better than they are. That's the primary job of a head coach, to get his team to believe they ARE the best in the country, or their respective conference. UDUB had the potential to be the best team in the conference this year. Sark just found a way to fuck it up. Talent was there. Next year is all in, SS is coming back with his tail between his cuntlips.

You can blame Sark for losing every game, because he's had 5 years to recruit and develop the talent needed to be a BCS contender. Now just for individual game sake:topdawgnc said:

Shaw could just as easily be blamed for the UW/Stanford game being as close as it was, as for Sark blowing it. That was arguable one of Shaw's worst performances as a head coach.
I would blame Sark for getting raped by ASU, but losing in general, not so much. This was the one game I felt Price played awfully shitty, and the defense opened the flood gates. Combine that with poor clock management, and abandoning the run, you get a plunger.
UCLA? meh. I don't think anybody expected to win that game, and this lack of expectation alone is reason enough to fire Sark. The game went how I pictured it would. Had Price not gotten hurt, it might have been closer. Why Sark didn't try any designed runs, or rollout option passes with Miles is beyond me. The fact that he took away the only advantage the backup quarterback had in turning him into a pocket passer was insane at best.
