Finishing behind Cal and OSU in the offseason = fire Jimmy Lake and burn it to the ground. Now it's settled and *we can all just go to work.

We aren’t finishing fourth and I do think Wilner hates the Huskies, but it’s not entirely insane.insinceredawg said: -
Cal will be a popular "surprise" choice all over the airwaves and internet 5g mind control

Wilner has been oddly dialed on UW football. Pretty fair assessment

I don’t know if picking Oregon State to finish above UW is fair, but Oregon and Cal is conceivable. I wouldn’t blame a media member for thinking we are going to be terrible on offense.FireCohen said:Wilner has been oddly dialed on UW football. Pretty fair assessment

It was right at about this point last year when I went off on Wilner's predictions of both bay area teams beating Washington and Oregon winning the conference. I typed up some long screed about how there was absolutely no data to support this. The logic behind it seemed to be:
1.) Herbert (who I pointed out hadn't done shit)
2.) Oregon's recruiting class (which I pointed out was neck and neck with Washington's, and it's a bad thing anyway when true freshmen are being counted on for a season's success)
3.) Washington losing the defense and Browning and Gaskin
On this last point, I saw it as Eason > Browning, which turned out to be incorrect (fight me), Wellington and a gaggle of young stud linebackers being better than BBK being the entire linebacking corps, the youngest two DL classes + Onwuzurike being at least as good as the outgoing DL, Tryon being a year improved, and the DBs continuing to be UW DBs. Losing a lot of starters is where the mature, stable Chris Petersen program would really shine through.
Fast forward, and that fucker Wilner was right about everything and the universe no longer made sense.
So, once again, I could point out that Oregon lost the equivalent of their Browning this year and have just as big of a question mark at QB, they lost all but one experienced offensive lineman (but that one is really good), etc., but that would just mean the Huskies would go 0-12, so I won't. -
