This year reminds me a lot of 2015
I'm not really that pissed anymore. This was not a team capable of winning an NY6 so I dont really care about the bowl games below that.
Next year is a big turning point for the program. Can Petersen be honest with himself and get the program back to a conference title? Will we break in a Sirmon or Morris and have another mediocre year?
This year sucks but Petersen has overall done a good job. It will be interesting to see how he responds to adversity.
LIFPO for now. The expectation has to be a North title next year.

I’m at basically the same place mentally. I’m frustrated as fuck with Pete. But I felt the same way in 2015 and I LIPO.

I see it as the inverse of 2015, where in year 2 we* had some young guys popping and got better as the season went on. Won a couple we shouldn’t. I felt like I could see where the program was trying to go.
In year 6, I don’t. -
I agree with some points you made. I think many people on these boards have been way too hard on the younger players. Guys like Opera and Smellington have earned every bit of the shit talk.
I disagree with Pete doing a good job this year. He has done a piss poor job this year. This team, even breaking in all the new compents, should be no worse than 7-2 right now. 5-4 is not acceptable with this team in this conference.
This is a turning point for Pete. We will see what type of coach he is. If he trots out the same bullshit next year well there you go. I thought he was going to make some changes after the Rose Bowl and that sure as hell didn't happen -
nope, the players are regressing and it is supposedly a more talented roster

The only problem with this scenario is that Oregon is now BACK and expects to be vying for conference titles every year. Stanford isn't going to stay shitty for very long either. Forget about USC. They are way too woke to hire a dude like Urban.

Maybe finish this year then pop off
2014 was a while ago -
Oregon has dominated the conference enough this decade to pop off whenever and wherever. When these two north conference juggernauts win a playoff game, maybe they can popoff then.RaceBannon said:

UW 2 out of 3 defending champions
Better finish duck -
Serious question for you. How much talent does Oregon have returning next year?oregonblitzkrieg said:The only problem with this scenario is that Oregon is now BACK and expects to be vying for conference titles every year.

The returning OL starts can be misleading but Oregon has benefited from those guys getting experience + good coaching.
I look at that team and can see them dropping back to 7-5 or 8-4 next year but that’s coming from someone who doesn’t follow them. -
