    We are winning more than 4. Take the screenshots. Every game is more of a toss up than a loss. Every game besides Michigan has been close.

    I hope Lake does get fired, but let’s not confuse what we want to happen with what is likely to happen. He’s probably getting another year with new coordinators.

    I’d be shocked if they get more than 5 … 6 isn’t happening

    There’s zero evidence to support this team winning consistently
    I don’t think they will win consistently. They will win this weekend. Another 2 wins after that wouldn’t shock me. I think the O/U is probably 5.
    Arizona win
    Asu loss
    Colorado is a toss up.
    Wazzu toss up
    Stanford probably a loss
    Oregon loss

    I like to think the over under is 4.5. The team very well could quit.
    ASU in cold weather in November is a toss up. They lost to BYU and got smoked by Utah.

    Oregon is probably a loss but they aren’t good. I doubt we can score enough to beat them tho.
    This is a two TD a game offense against any team with a pulse. The defense gifted them one vs the beav. Oregon will destroy this team. We will invite them to run and they gladly will.

    Many of these other teams will have something to play for including asu.

    Don’t shoot the messenger but Hopkins finished dead last two years in a row. Jimmy finished “first” in the north year one and has a losing record year two. The school is in Seattle Washington. No one at the school or in the AD wants to deal with those optics. Is it warranted and is there precedent set to justify a termination? Absolutely. Just not in this day and age. Just not happening.

    UW hoops being shit as fuck, doesn't have that big of an impact on the overall bottom line.

    The Golden Goose is a different beast.
    thanks man, haven't had a good laugh in awhile ... I miss that guy .. "wrongonpurpose"

    We’ll see. I think we win an unexpected game like ASU or Oregon. Every game has been close. We suck. No argument there, but none of the teams remaining are actually good.
    But are they close?

    The UCLA game was a 1 score game …

    Did it ever feel like UW could or would win that game?

    Going to the game in AZ and hope AZ wins. It's the only way Lake gets more heat.

    Handicapping the games at this point doesn’t factor in whether the team quits on its coach.


    3-9.

    I heard this again on Derek's (otherwise good) pod. Explain to me why there's "no chance" Lake gets fired after year 2, even if we go 4-8 or 3-9? There's even precedent at UW with Gilby. Every level of the program and AD has been eviscerated and torn asunder. We're talking Hitler in the bunker with Soviet shells landing in the Reich Chancellery Garden levels of bad.

    And I know factually the buyout money is there if UW decided they needed to. So let's kill that argument in its tracks here.

    Because uw hates football and is a conglomeration of liberal pussies

    Subject: Long-time season ticket holder...

    Hi,

    I’m not some big-time donor, just a die hard fan, season ticket holder for around 20 consecutive years and ’92 alum.

    You have struck out with your hire of Jimmy. The team has the talent and should be 5-1 if not 6-0. The only thing holding the team back is a head coach who is lost, stubborn, and committed to a style of football that was played 30-40 years ago. He needs to go and you need to start over or this program will be set back a decade or more.

    If this change isn’t made, I won’t renew my tickets and there’s probably 1000s of others like me. Obviously that would have profound impact on the athletic department. You know that.

    It is so wrong to have these talented student athletes have to suffer through the season under the leadership of this clueless, stubborn set of coaches.

    I just sent a few emails from different DAWG address supporting Coach Lake. I let them know “I’m not the only one who feels this way. Don’t be swayed by a few impatient, angry voices from people who never attended the University of Washington nor understand the cultural standards the University sets for the state and the entire Northwest region.”

    Thank you

    That's a lot of effort to go to. Dawgs are in your head, man. Respect, though. Respect.
