Anything less than winning the North and the Conference is a massive disappointment
With the way recruiting is trending, Jimmy needs to win and win quickly to either turn the recruiting momentum around (likely won't happen regardless) or position himself to jump to the NFL (leading to someone being hired that gives a shit about recruiting)

Winning isn't going to be enough unless it continues for several years. Recruiting is obviously not something this staff is willing to emphasize.
If it were to happen and continue for 2-3 more years then I could see a pretty big effect in spite of it all.

I have little reason for recruiting optimism … it’s beyond depressing

Really interesting that this year's expectations are a bimodal distribution.
Only ever time that happened was between playoffs and NY6, so this is the first time there's been a split between high expectations and hopelessness among the bored.

The recruitnix are dangling from the Aurora bridge. Too much off season and not enough commitment endorphins

Hate to see it
It’s possible to expect a good season this year and still think the program is going to trend downward over the next few years. Kind of like usc when they had Darnold but all the local talent in SoCal was leaving in droves to uw/Oregon and out of conference.
For this year my biggest concern is our run defense while playing our safeties 20 yards deep in a nickel base and our insisting on running in to a loaded box on offense. The talent is there to have a big year.
Why does anyone think this is an above average team? They were a generous (erroneous) spot vs OSU and Whittingham going not full retard away from being 1-3.

As the founder of this campaign, what I've found is that people will still think the skwaad is "built to win" even after you present this argument 23 Tims. It turns out the existence of COVID and the absence from one game of a single receiver (who will be gone this coming season as well) and a former walk-on (albeit badass) OLB completely removes the predictive value of anything that happened in 2020. Similarly, my gaining of five pounds of beer gut in 2020 doesn't matter because COVID; 2021's a different year, so I might be totally shredded this fall. Can't wait to find out!

I'm not judging
I've been concerned about a downward trend for almost 30 years now. I was right

It’s definitely the glass half empty way of looking
Young QB rising to the occasion … that’s not super common for UW
Biggest concern is slow starts and the staff getting out planned to start games … that can’t continue if the goal is to be P12 champs this year

We did actually play 4 games last year, and we played well in 1 of those games. It's easy to write off the entire year but there were some legitimate signs that we should be concerned about Lake and his staff's abilities.
Last time we played a full season we went 8-5, as you like to remind us. You don't have to follow recruiting to be pessimistic about this team.

Who am I to disagree with Tim Otton? 2021 will be special
If I were going to, I'd probably pick a fight with Sean McGrew's dad, not a tight end or lineman's.

2-3 strong years and Lake’s in the NFL

Lose to Stanford.
Beat the rest of the Pac.
Lose in the NY6/playoffs cause WASHINGTON, dammit.
WINNERS WIN
