    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.

    I think we go 3-1 again.

    My wife turned to me and said - so are they going to play this year or what?

    What do I tell her?
    No

    Beat Michigan.

    Lose to Stanford.

    Beat the rest of the Pac.

    Lose in the NY6/playoffs cause WASHINGTON, dammit.

    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

    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
