    Jimmy is one cocky SOB I will give him that. Usually these types of coaches get served humble pie. This is going to be an interesting coaching tenure.

    I miss the old shirt

    UW....We’re not snobs. We’re just better than you.

    Maybe Jimmy brings back that swagger

    That.....and one of my dads had an Absolut Huskies shirt. Still not sure how the Dawg House pulled that one off.

    I have this dream of Jimmy being in the position to run up the score in some fashion on Oregon or WSU and in the post-game presser saying something like "well, they like to talk. Maybe they should back it up."


    In reality, the shoe may be on the other foot

    Coaches talking shit on social media never ends well. And being overly cocky is a terrible trait for a head coach.

    Can we all just remember that there is a sub-zero percent chance that the Huskies face an SEC team this year? Jimmy can talk all the shit he wants this season, knowing he can get away with it.

    So what do our spies tell us... do we have a QB or not? Doe we have an offfensive line that can find their butts with either hand and block in tandem with each other or what? We know what we have for receivers and RB's, and we know the story on the defense except for the ILB's and we can guess what is happening there... somebody around here must know and be able to answer in code so that their yard pass isn't revoked...

    Unless he doesn't give a fuck like Trump. He's said some dumb shit and keep forging forward without a care in the world.

    Continuing my thought from a poast last week about the scrimmages:

    He wanted to have 4 game like scrimmages with coin tosses and halftimes and the rest which I thought was an encouraging step from the previous regime.

    He also mentioned he was going to mimic game scenarios, so last Saturday it was a 7:30pm kick (like the Cal game will be), and today’s was a 9:00am kick (like USC vs ASU).

    Essentially he is trying to prime the team for whatever scenario may come their way so they don’t play tight or freeze up (the way they have in the past).

    He also has mentioned he sees what the fans are saying and what other teams say. He trolled Leach publicly damn near every year. He publicly touted that UW had the #1 recruiting class right after Oregon finished touting their (composite vs 247). In his last interview he said the playbook and schemes should be so simple that young kids have a shot to play right away without confusion, and that the best talent will compete and win out. Then he boasts that offense is now like that just like the defense has always been, a direct shot at Pete.

    I think Jimmy wants to talk shit, rile people up, and have his players be confident, cocky, and loose. It’s the same attitude the DBs have had the last 6 years.

    It may completely implode and be all sizzle and no steak. But this team has a ton of talent and the biggest complaint during Pete’s tenure was that the team would play tight and not to lose. At least Jimmy is trying to break that shit up.

    Let the best players play, let them play fast because they know their assignments and the scheme in and out, and let them play loose and have fun kicking ass.

    EWIWBI.

    Edit: I know none of this rectifies this season’s recruiting failures or the uninspired Donovan hire. But I’m looking for every silver lining I can. I’m a Doog thru and thru. What is dead may never die.



    POTW. Case closed. End of discussion.

    So i'm hearing a lot of sardonic discussion of how "we always lose to Cal" and I'm a little flumoxxxed by that.

    We have OWNED Cal since the 1960's and have routinely not only taken their lunch money but also the north bay's best players for so many years that is comical.

    Now i know that everyone in here has a flair for the kabuki theatre style expression of the most dramitic death scenes in Dostoevsky's femme fetale, but do you gys really think that we will lose this game?

    I dont... I mean yah they have the return of most of their skill players on offense including a QB which i like and admire, and so is this why everyone seems to think they have a material advantage especially since we don't even "know" who our QB is or the exact details of what our offense will look like?

    But really, when you look at the depth and strength of the quality of the athletes on both teams do you really think that CAL will win? Go DOOGS, go Dawgs. the line is Washington is favored by 6.5 points and I'm not tempted to bet the game but I think it's the Dawgs by 10. What do you think?

    Yeah dude. Got our shit handed to us.

    It started as a joke and now it's just this embarrassing 12-like thing where talent doesn't matter and our players and coaches are really afraid of Cal's offense that necessitated running off their OC.

    When the reality is that our team for stretches in 18 and the entirety of 19 was so dysfunctional and Cal STILL needed a ton of shit to go their way to beat us by a few points.
