    We are 0-4 in three ears vs that list and it hasn’t been close. We do have a knack for making the score look good in an ass kicking though. Woof

    I am obviously here to enthusiastically shit on how bad Jake Browning was.

    ENTHUSIASTICALLY.

    People forget that he also tried to throw an INT to a Utah DT right before our miraculous comeback against them in 2017. He's the only guy I've ever seen throw two picks trying to throw it out of bounds.

    STILL...

    ... and this is the kind of insight you can only get on bowdowntowashington.com the football board on HardcoreHusky...

    look at the DISTRIBUTION OF TALENT.

    What we've been saying the whole time is 'of course we are getting smashed by the teams with more talent'. We entered 'the ratio' (only fuckheads believe shit like this really means anything) this year.

    BECAUSE OF OUR 18 and 19 CLASSES!

    We will be a lot more talented this year, yes. And it's the reason why @WilburHooksHands says WASHINGTON 2.0 and I agree with that. That starts this year. And if we play Skinny and he doesn't play like a retard and defenses have to defend things beyond 20 yards, that will change a lot.

    But just be cause we have THE RATIO (insert eye roll) doesn't mean we are all of a sudden going to beat good teams.

    That talent is going to take at least another year to filter into the main people playing.

    As I've always said - if half the players on your team (EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGH ALL CLASSES DUH) are blue chips, then Brian Clay starting is (weird, but) fine. Because he beat out good players. But when you have those guys starting because Andre Baccelia is beating out Jordan Chin, well then... that's a different issue and that's why we can beat up on Oregon State and get fucking flattened by Ohio State.

    We are like the tupperware in Napoleon Dynamite. If some loser in a house (WSU in this analogy) tries to rip it apart he's not going to be able to do it, but when you put it under a van (Ohio State) it's going to explode.

    However, if we do what we should in the next two classes, combining those with 18 and 19 which were our first REAL classes, then we will be actually elite and start beating teams.

    I don't get why people don't understand this. It's not that complicated. We have a great coach. We have a bit of a beta problem, yes, but we also have beta players.

    Once we get a coach like Pete with talent like we have now at DB throughout the roster, all of a sudden, as if by magic, we will start being competitive with teams like Ohio State.

    This year is kind of interesting because like 1990, we have some real talent, but it's young. However, maybe Skinny lives up to what he should be and we get a Cam Newton-esque performance out of him and he makes the difference between 10 and 14 wins like Cam and Jameis did.

    HOW ARE WE GOING TO REPLACE FEENEY AND LITTLETON?!?!?
