    Second-hand offseason practice reports are bullshit.

    But there are 92 other reasons I'm optimistic about Coach Petersen.

    First hand reports are usually worfress.

    But your second sentence is what's important.

    In November Kim was still recalling how Sark the Valiant led his soldiers to victory against the powerful army of Illinois. HE BEAT A BCS CONFERENCE TEAM ON THE ROAD!!!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? With some of you its not worth it because you don't understand college football and we could beat Alabama and you would complain

    Kim Jong Vino would point out that he has 12 reasons to doubt Petersen ...

    12 >>> 92

    Kim is so pathetic and his agenda is so obvious. I mean beating a TUFF! Big10 team after going 0-12 five years ago is impressive right?

    That game proved the special year was bullshit. Played like shit on the road but Illinois was fucking garbage which we all said at the time.

    I'm sure when UW defeats Rutgers Kim won't be bragging about beating a BCS conference team on the road.

    The UW program was strong before Don James ... it was strong after Don James ... the program is the program before and after Chris Petersen.

    Great coaching + UW resources = Championships.

    The program is what makes it all possible.

    Re: Petersen and Sark, there is a reasonable chance these two will meet in a pac-12 title game at somepoint and Sark's job could be on the line. Think 2016.

    I would love it if this happens. USC should get better after the first year, but it's going to create strain on the program. I think they would have a tough time winning 10 this year with a good coach. With Sark, they win 8 max. I'm predicting 7-6.

    I don't see it. Sark isn't beating Mora and he'll drop some road games to teams less talented.

    You don't think USC will win the South at least once in the next 3-4 years? They average a conference title every 2.5 years.

    I don't think Mora is staying at UCLA that long. Over/under is 2 years. He's trying to win a title with Myles Jack, Hundley, and Vanderdoes. When a good NFL job becomes available, he's out. The Seahawks job and getting fired after one year eats at a competitor like him.

    I'm skeptical. I could see it happening, but I also have a hard time believing Sark will coach them to the road wins needed to get a title. Maybe he gets lucky one season after losing 2 or even 3 conference games and sneaks in.

    He's a bad coach and the south has became stronger. Plus after this year no more skipping Oregon or UW.

    You are what your record says you are. He went 34-29 at UW and 24-21 in conference play. I don't see him winning the south at all.

    Who in the south after UCLA has the talent that USC has? We all know Sark won't do much to develop it but there's less developing for him to do. I can see a 9-3 or 10-2 regular season within the next 3 years that wins the south for USC.

    Sark can then have that added under the championships tab on his website.

    They did.

    Not any more.

    I've had this argument over and over saying UW is a football school only to be told "James left over 20 years ago".

    You define a football school as one that has had success over time and different coaches. Alabama didn't stop being a football school when they had shitty coaching and were .500.

    This is literally the first hire I've liked since James.

    We'll be back though it could take a couple years to get his systems going.

    Talent has never been an issue for Sark though. At Washington he constantly lost to teams who Washington was out recruiting.

    Also the sanctions will start to hurt the program. UW had sanction recruiting classes in 1994 and 1995 those fifth year classes were 1998 and 1999 which went 6-6 and 7-5. Also very few guys were drafted which back then was unheard of for Washington.

    I also agree with Road Dawg that USC will have a rough year this year going 8-5 if not 7-6. Unlike up here the heat will be turned up on Sark after year one. He has shown in the past when facing adversity he becomes a whiny bitch and unlike up here the media won't let him get away with it down there.

    Also remember due to the LA's always having to play the northern Cal schools in 2015-2016 USC will be skipping WSU and Oregon State while playing UW and Oregon instead. In that same window conversely UCLA will be playing Oregon State and WSU instead of UW and Oregon.

    I really don't see Sark winning the South unless the South is a down year and he wins with a 6-3 conference record. I think Mora will crush him, I think Graham at ASU will have a better program and I think Rich Rod will be just like how Mike Leach is in the North where he won't ever win it(Sorry PGOS) but he'll be annoying. I can see Rich Rod upsetting Sark at home.

    Thing with the South is that 7-2 will win it most years. Arizona, Colorado, and Utah are never really that serious about football.

    Who did Sark "constantly" lose to who he out-recruited? We've established that he was a pretty ordinary recruiter. The games I can think of are OSU 2011 and Boise & WSU in 2012. Even saying sometimes is a stretch because Sark was good at beating the teams he should. His problem was he was a total front runner.

    At USC he's going to have top 10 talent, so reasonably we could assume he will have top 20 teams. Their defense is going to be very good under Wilcox. Before Wilcox UW's defense yards per play nationally was 108-68-102. Following that UW was 48th in 2012 and 20th in 2013.

    Now the sanctions and schedule especially are very good points. When will the sanctions hurt them most? Is it now? The next two years?

    I would think by years 3-4 USC under this staff will solidly be a top 15 team just based on talent and competent defensive coaching. However, maybe after struggles the first two seasons, they'll need to be top 10 or top 5 to keep their jobs.

    I still say that its a bit of a stretch to say USC won't win the South at least once while Sark is there. ASU will be rebuilding. Arizona is only a mild threat. UCLA is the only real competition and they'll need to replace Hundley after next year. As long as Mora is there I do think they will win the South most years.

    Chest agenda towards Wilcox is as bad as Kim towards Sark.

    UW consistently out recruits the AZ schools yet he's 3-5 against them and 0-4 on the road.

    This Wilcox myth continues to live on. His defense never did shit against a good offense. Same with Tennessee as they got worse under him than previous coach.

    There is a bit of a Ty effect going on. Sark replaces dogshit Ty, doesn't look extremely indept, and people overblow his accomplishments. Wilcox replaces dogshit Holt, LRR.
