    The worse thing was Friday night when I was drunk in my chair watching high school football and my wife pokes her head in and asks who is playing. I try to sidestep the issue but she drills in - who is playing

    Uh its a high school game

    High school? Ok good night


    It would have been better to get caught watching porn

    I have that happen to me pretty much every weekend of the off-season.

    [Question from Mrs. Creep with a hint of skepticism: "Hey. Is this game happening right now?"

    Sure, that's a weird question, except she knows I watch old games all the tim.

    "Uh, yeah, it is."

    "Wait, the season started already?"

    "Uh, no, but, yeah, it did."

    She thinks I'm insane to re-watch games and seems to be pretty good at knowing when I'm doing it even though she doesn't know or care a fucking lick about football.

    He's 3-3 vs Cal, 48-22 overall.

    During his tenure @ UW, Petersen has proven that his game time decision making is mediocre at best, especially in close games: 2014 @ UA (@TheChart), 2015 @ Boise, 2018 vs Auburn, 2018 @ 0reg0n, and now 2019 vs Cal, all stand out as examples.

    The only win that could be considered an upset was 2015 @ SC.

    Not to mention his bowl games record.

    The man who coached one of the most memorable games in college football history (2007 Fiesta Bowl) is not the same coach we? see now, that's for damn sure.

    Don James was 37-22 and at this point in year 6 with 1 Pac 10 titles. Pete is 48-22 and with 2 titles. It's Hard.

    Don won his second title year 6 then #3 in year 7 then blew two more in a row by losing the Apple Cup twice

    Don beat Texas in the Sun Bowl and Michigan in the Rose Bowl

    There is plenty of room above the bar that James set. That's where I would prefer Pete aim.

    Wholeheartedly agree. Sunday morning sucked like a golf ball going through a garden hose. But I haven't seen any evidence to date to suggest that Pete's floor is any worse than what DJ achieve here. Jury is still out on the ceiling and I'm not going to panic based on one game or if we go 9- 3 (or even 8-4) and don't with the Pac.

    I think 7-5 or 8-4 is very much in play this year on over reaction Monday

    Some years are like that regardless if its year 6 or 2. Not every trajectory is straight up.

    You hope that by recruiting better players you can avoid major rebuilds like we hoped this year.

    Doesn't always work

    I could see a series of close frustrating losses because we are still mentally weak
    See? BIG MEDICINE

    That's my point, it's not just one game we've seen this happen. The games I mentioned above (I'd add 2015 vs 0reg0n to that list) and the bowl games shows he needs to be a better head coach, especially considering his salary. Petersen always talks about improving each and every day. Well, he needs to start backing up his words with action because issues that we? saw year 1 with him are still occurring.
