    14-0 or 13-1

    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
    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.

    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.
    I'm not judging

    I've been concerned about a downward trend for almost 30 years now. I was right

    12-2

    13 and 0 is undefeated Pac-12 champ

    So either 13-1, 14-1, or 15-0

    14-0 would mean no playoff

    Playoffs?

    Lot of optimism here

    Excellent


    The fall will hurt that much more

    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.


    I believe the reasoning goes something like this













    WINNERS WIN
    In the long run, how you win matters. Bouncing one off a rock, then a tree, and onto the green for a tap in birdie doesn’t make you a good golfer. And it that will be evident later in the round.

    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
    Or the non Doog way of looking at it. Realistically and honestly.

    Are you shitting me? That’s as common as “the team worked harder than ever in the offseason”

    I honestly don't disagree.

    I do also think it's encouraging that Lake's teams showed an ability to pull one out late, something we? have struggled with mightily for years.

    If we? employ the same bullshit schemes that produced all those early deficits we?re fucked.

    If we adjust and actually play offense in the first half and combine that with the ability to win late we certainly have the players to have a great season.

    I still think the squad looks like they are having some fun out there flying around

    10-4 (rep the North)


    the only way I could see a favorable schedule would be missing Stanford and Oregon in the same year.

    But that would take realignment and I am not talking about vehicles

    8-5

    About 8-4. Feels like we could still have a game or two cancelled.

    I think Jimmy will lose at Stanford and Michigan, and blow a home game to an inferior team, perhaps two.
    At that point he should be fired, but won't be.
    The wheels won't come totally off until next year, at which point he should again be fired, but won't be.

    Appears Jimmy is ahead of schedule. Extension??

    Really didn’t think he’d go full Ty in the first year. That’s more of a second year thing
