False bravado wears on people and they will want to replace you in 4 years...

But yeah, I’ve been saying this since he was hired. I like swag, I like confidence, but Jimmy’s decision making isn’t indicating either of those things. The opposite in fact.

My only hope with Jimmy is that we all laughed at Oregon after Chipsters first gayme. Scoring 8 points and loosing to Pete on the Blue Turf. LOLOL imagine losing to Pete.

Then he ran a train on the conference for 4 years.

That would be sweet. But no. The program is headed in a bad direction.

Last nights game looked like a bunch of other games we had during the Pete era, especially openers. This looked exactly like the Cal games, the ASU game,, the Rutgers BSU,and Hawaii openers, and especially the Zona game where that little qb and RB gashed us for like 300
The question is... will Jimmy say "I'm glad we won but we have a ton of shit to clean up so we start working on that tomorrow." or does he say, "well, we won the game and thats the goal so we'll just keep plugging along. This season doesn't really count anyways."
If he takes the first route, then Jackson Sirmon, Ty Jones, and Josiah Bronson's positions should immediately be open competition, this JV taking turns at RB thing needs to be nixed, and they need to start figuring out the pass game. You can beat Oregon State by runningbthe ball 55 times but not many other teams. I do think a part of yesterday's offensive plan was due to them thinking Thomson was going to be the starter and then having to switch to someone else right before, at least I'm hopeful that was the case.

What I'm telling myself to try and feel a little bit better is a couple plays here or there for us and this game is more like 35-14. Hopefully shit gets worked out.

This year is all practice and Huard 3.0 is on his way

Or, we lose if the Pac-12 refs don't shaft OSU with a shitty spot on 4th and inches from the UW 5. It was as close to a loss as it was to a 35-14 game.

I agree that Lake has a lot of arrogance that could be his downfall. But the one thing he’s been willing to do is pull players when they aren’t getting it done. Last year Cam was replaced by Asa and Kyler was replaced by McDuffie after the first 2 or 3 games.

So I’m holding hope he will be willing to objectively look at Sirmon and Jones and do the needful.

As for the DL, Tuli and Latu being hurt really made Taki and Bronson play a lot. Not sure if they were trying to protect the freshman, but you need to get Bandes and Tuitele and Ngalu in there.

Lastly, in concur that I think Thomson was supposed to be the starter and then his injury made it between Morris and Sirmon. And Lake after the game mentioned Morris won’t make the mistakes to hurt the team. I think the game plan was to manage the game and don’t make mistakes in a freshman’s first game. Sirmon has all the tools but he must have been making a lot of bad decisions in camp for him not to get a shot.
