    With the stadium debuting, UW will be excited by default. It will be a close game, and intense.

    Agreed, although being excited and being ready to play can be two entirely different things.

    that's a good point

    We just might be able to eak out 7 wins.

    BOISE STATE - L
    at Illinois
    IDAHO STATE
    CALIFORNIA
    Stanford - L
    OREGON - L
    Oregon State - L
    UCLA - L
    ARIZONA
    Arizona State
    COLORADO
    WASHINGTON STATE

    We might win one of the five games marked as a loss. We'll lose a game to some high school team like WSU so there's five loses in all likely hood. If anything goes wrong, we're 6 - 6 or worse. Anybody on this schedule can beat us other than Idaho St and perhaps Colorado and Illinois.

    At this stage, I'm hoping for less than 6 wins.....it's the only way we eradicate this cancer.

    Boise St lost quite a few seniors and they are not a great road team. We'll win that.

    This season will be a microcosm of 2011. We'll start out 4-0 and be ranked like 15th, then lose 3 in a row to Stanford, Oregon and ASU and the season will basically be over. We'll finish 8-5 and theres no way Sark will get fired for that. Worst case scenario fellas, 8 wins. 7 and its 50-50 he gets fired. 9 wins means expectations are for 10 and north title in 2014.
    I agree that we should beat Boise State, but it is far from a sure thing. We have played poorly in every opener under Sark except the LSU game in 2009. The real dilemma is that Sark is not in Chris Peterson's league as a coach. Boise State will be ready to play, it is debatable if UW will be. I think it will be a very close game.

    Boise has to win that game to maintain the illusion that they're a big time program. Would not at all shock me if they won big. Is www.firesark.com available?

    They will out coach us for sure, but the question is will Washington's superior athleticism and excitement over opening the stadium be enough to claim victory?

    @Derek I hope so, it's going to be depressing to see a 1/2 empty stadium in the 4th quarter if BSU is winning big.

    You guys are seriously over estimating Boise St. Remember 2007? San Diego St beat them last year. The bowl was one of the sloppiest mistake filled games of the season. Playing at home with more talent and experience then them, we'll win by 14-17 if we have a good game. Then people will overreact to it like we are some 10 win top 15 team.

    I totally get that they're overrated, just saying that they have a habit of winning games early in the year and as of late UW has looked like shit in the first game or two of the season. Remember barely beating EWU? Letting SDSU stay in the game last year? If that happens against BSU than theres a better than average chance that UW loses that game.

    They have a better coach. Simple fact

    We over estimate ourselves. Idaho St is the only one team on the schedule we can beat, even in one of our disinterested sleep walk performances. Colorado and Illinois should be gimme's too. But so were the cougs last year and the bark rats in 2011.

    I've seen so many bad teams take us to the mat I would worry if we played Florida's state high school championship team. Overlook no one, especially BSU.

    Way better coach, but that wasn't enough in 2007 when the disparity in coaching staffs was even greater. If the Huskies show up healthy and with a sense of urgency (two big ifs), they will win the game.
