Coug Center: "Despite UW's quarterback question marks, that schedule (as always) is a laugher"

1. Not starting 2nd, 3rd string, BENDER like QB, due to a injury of a GOOD STARTING QB
2. The GOOD Starting QB, recovering from a condition like a concussion, injury.
3. A Snowstorm that dump 1/2 foot to 1 and 1/2, 1.5 feet of snow that will stop a AIR RAID OFFENSE, but BENEFIT a UW power running game
UNTIL, IF THAT HAPPENS, ITS LUCK, UNTIL THAT HAPPENS.
And IF that happens, THEN you can rightly say that UW beat a GOOD Leach, WSU team.
Untii then, you can't rightly say that UW beat a GOOD Leach,WSU team during Leach's Tenure at WSU.
Would UW have beaten a GOOD WSU LEACH team if UW had to play without STARTING QB BROWNING, due to injury, if Browning had been injured?
PROBABLY NOT.
And if WSU had technically won against that without Browning UW team, could WSU have rightly claimed it BEAT UW?
NO
And if UW was a AIR RAID team, and WSU was a POWER RUNNING team, and if a Snow storm dumped snow, that shut down a UW AIR RAID, and were to benefit a WSU Power Running game, so that WSU technically won vs UW, could WSU rightly claim that BEAT UW?
No
Not only that, but the SPORTS MEDIA, the Pollsters, etc, would not give WSU any credit, and would say that WSU just got LUCKY, to TECHNICALLY win.
Its a FREAKING DOUBLE STANDARD.
So until, if UW actually beats, not just technically, luckily win, but beats a GOOD WSU, LEACH TEAM, WITH ITS GOOD STARTING QB, AND WITHOUT 1+ KEY, VITAL TO WINNING PLAYERS BEING INJURED, AND WITHOUT EXTREME BAD WEATHER THAT SHUT DOWN AIR RAID, ETC, FULL STRENGTH, ETC.
UNTIL, IF THAT HAPPENS, UW CAN'T rightly say that BEAT a GOOD WSU LEACH team.
They can rightly say they TECHNICALLY WON vs WSU.
I think UW could lose 1 non con game, most likely BYU will probably beat them.
And I see them losing to Oregon, Cal, WSU(Unless UW BUTLUCKS again, with either a SNOW STORM, HAIL, MASS FLOODING, 90 MPH WIND RAIN STORM, ETC, or Gordon, Gage, both get injured, like Falk getting injured(dont think tinsley would be able to beat them, just like WSU's 2nd string, 3rd String QB, couldnt beat them, or both Gordon, an or Gage play recovering from a just barely a slight semi concussion, like Falk against UW, Minshew at end of USC game)
So I see 3,4 losses, a 9-3, 8-4 record.
Also, altho UW has been both BUTLUCKY, PRODUCTIVE, etc, the positives you guys name.
You cant go by just that. You have to go by the situation, factors the Defense LOSING EVERYTHING, the lack of WR, the schedule, etc, THAT MATTERS MORE THEN UW'S PRODUCTIVE HISTORY.
If it doesnt then Stanford should win 8,9,10 games becsuse of their PRODUCTIVE HISTORY.
Yes they have a EASY schedule, but they are probably not going to beat BYU, Oregon, Cal, , WSU.
They might win one of those games(Best chance would be BYU.
But UW will probably not go 10-2, and CERTAINLY NOT 11-1.
9-3 is LIKELY at semi best, and 10-2 at EXTREME ULTIMATE BUTLUCKY BEST, if they find a way to BUTLUCKILY beat either Oregon, Cal, WSU.
So 7-5 at ultimate extreme worst, 8-4 at likely worst, 9-3 at likely best, 10-2 at EXTREME ULTIMATE BUTLUCKY BEST, with 6-6, 11-1, almost impossible.
9-3, is good enough for about 15th to about 20th at best, certainly NOT 11th,12th,13th, and 10th or higher should be almost impossible, or as ULTIMATELY EXTREMELY UNLIKELY as 6-6.
Even with a EASY schedule, Oregon, Cal, WSU, BYU, championship game, if they make it, Rosebowl, Fiesta Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Alamobowl(If they go to those bowls), etc, is PROBABLY MORE THEN THE UW CAN HANDLE
The Fuskies got BUTLUCKY that against WSU:
1. They got to play 2nd, 3rd string back up, etc, Bender, instead of Falk
2. When they did play Falk, that Falk was recovering from a borderline slight concussion.
3. That they got to play in a snow storm that shut down WSU's offense, passing game, that is better suited to help the Fuskies non pass heavy, run based offense to win. Minshew, WSU would have won that game if not for the snowstorm.
So far during Leach's Tenure the Fuskies have gotten BUTLUCKY against WSU teams that would, could, should, beat the fuskies.
The only time the Fuskies didnt get BUTLUCKY was against the 2, 3-9 Leach, WSU teams.
Some Keep on saying that WSU hasnt proven that they can beat the Fuskies, during Leach's Tenure.
Well I say the Fuskies have only proven they can beat 2, 3-9 Leach teams, and havent proven that they can beat WSU's good teams, because the Fuskies didnt BEAT WSU's good teams(Technically won yes), they BUTLUCKED, got BUTLUCKY against WSU's teams. Thats not BEATING WSU's teams.
So the Fuskies havent proven they can beat Leach's good WSU teams
UW has been the better team in TWO, 2, 3, THREE, out of the last 6, 7 Apple cup games, vs 2, 3-9, 1, 6-6 WSU teams.
But UW has not BEATEN(They Technically Won Yes), the 2,3, 8,9,11 win WSU teams, and UW got LUCKY against those specific 2,3 WSU teams.
UW did semi earn those wins, because using your SUV example, they built the SUV, while WSU built the Sports Car, and UW still had to play the game.
But my Boxing analogy is more accurate.
Boxing Analogy:
Say there are 2 Pro Boxers, 9 win UW Boxer, 9 win WSU Boxer, and lets say that 1 hour before the fight, WSU Boxer breaks arm, has to fight with broken arm tied behind WSU Boxer back, leading to UW Boxer GETTING LUCKY to win vs WSU Boxer.
That applies to Football.
8,9, 11 win WSU has had to play 2,3 games against 2,3, 9 win UW teams, with a PROVERBIAL BROKEN ARM TIED BEHIND BACK, so because of that, no wonder UW GOT LUCKY to win those games
Also if the roles were reversed, we all know that NO ONE would give credit to WSU for Beating UW, that they would say that WSU GOT LUCKY to win against a UW team with a proverbial broken arm.
Shocker. You don’t say!
lol - holy fuck.
What the hell am I missing here?
Other than UW gets the COUGS at home while CUOG has to travel to Seattle, you aren't missing a thing.
