Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

you know...

Im kinda having some persepctive this morning. This is definitely a top 20 program, but it is not top 5 and no metric really proves that except for a fluke playoff appearance in 2016.

Pete has done a lot with some decent recruiting classes. If we keep the momentum going maybe we can get to national contender status.

Still no excuse for losing that game, but at least games mean something now

    Glad you took a walk on the beach with one of your dads. But the rest of us outside of the Doog territories knew it wasn't top five. Top 10 would have been ambitious, but reasonable. Christ.
    I definitely thought this team had top 5 potential before the season started. Returning everyone, chance for statement SEC win, etc.

    Experience doesn't really help our players. They peaked 2 years ago. Even Rapp seemed better.

    I’m not sure what more you can reasonably expect talent wise on defense. The secondary is near NFL level, dline is top of pac12 quality. Linebackers are average. Great RBs, pretty good WRs and 4th year QB with a good Oline on paper. This is the type of team that should be winning all the games.

    It’s not so much talent but execution at this point. Even with all the mistakes, of the huskies had a qb like Herbert, maybe Tate, Minshew etc would have won that game. It’s too bad Pete sees being loyal as more important then winning. It’s the same failure Leach had with Falk.

    Rapp is still Rapp and had less room to get better because he was like Buddha: came in game ready. Can't imagine what more anyone wants out of him. When that fucker gets anywhere near the ball, shit happens. And when he hits people, they stop right where they are. The kid can't string 2 English sentences together, but he can play

    I'm past the happy to be there phase. Fuck that. Win or GTFO.

    Don't be content. None of us should be. But to got from Sark to playing for a NT is probably like a 6- 7 year time frame than 3- 5. Exhibit A: Dabo.
