Remind me his predictions the rest of the time. He's biased toward Cal and Stanford so it's not much different than reading fucking Jhop's predictions1to392831weretaken said: -
He has been pretty spot on for us for years if i recall. 2017 he predicted we would lose to Stanford and blow it which we did in the emphasis truck racer bowl. Year after that he said we would win the north and we did. He had Oregon in the north last year.
But still. -
i know you have a brand to uphold as the fob hemorrhoid of these forums but you shouldnt belittle mental health. hopefully he gets the help he needs.FireCohen said:
careful he might threaten to hurt himself again -
k well we'll see if Cal wins the north. He fluffs them and stanford like no other. I think picking Cal to beat UW and Oregon and/or win the North is an absolute shit bay area take. But that's just me.AtomicDawg said:He has been pretty spot on for us for years if i recall. 2017 he predicted we would lose to Stanford and blow it which we did in the emphasis truck racer bowl.

I think Wilner's been doing this long enough to understand a few truisms like "a team without a proven quarterback typically struggles" and "losing most of your offensive line is a bad thing." These things aren't true every time, but you'll catch more than you drop if you just go with the generalities. Last year, he said Washington would struggle with new quarterback and new offensive line. He said the bay area schools would both beat Washington, and he said Oregon would beat Washington and win the conference. That doesn't sound like Bay area homerism, it sounds like fucking insight, because all of that happened. Including traditional Bay area power Oregon winning the conference.haie said:

One year.
We have metrics losers screaming at me still for me calling Oregon to destroy Utah in the CCG. It's one year.
He's a bay area homer. UW lost to Cal and Stanford because they shit their pants while fielding superior talent.
Fuck Pete for proving that dumb shit right. -

It’s almost like uw has a track record of shitting the bed vs teams with inferior talent every year since 2016. Almost.haie said:

This actually doesn't hold any water. Can you remind me who the DC was last year? JL could have started Ulo last year if he wanted to (or he could have told his buddy to do it). Both Bynum and Puka began to get PT as the year wore on (before Puka was injured). That's not uncommon.DoogCourics said:
And that is with me being one of the biggest CP apologists in the site. I would say yes to this for the first half of his tenure, thus Browning and Pettis playing early, etc.
But last year for example: Nacua, Bynum, Ulofoshio. Guys who weren’t getting any run and then as soon as they do they are clearly the best player when compared to their veteran starters playing over them.
The only spot that wasn’t doing that was the DBs. Lake threw the freshman out there all the time.
And multiple times this offseason Lake has made comments about how the offense must be more simple and easier like the defense has been. Also that there is no reason young guys shouldn’t be able to grasp the playbook and play immediately, like the defense has done. And last but not least, that the best players will play no matter their experience or age.
Maybe it’s just confirmation bias because I’m looking for it (wanting a change from watching Baccelia and Manu), but to me these were veiled shots at the way Petersen ran his offense and personnel.
Let's look at the top recruits in Puka's class (and let's be honest, Puka is not in their class).
1. Nolan Smith: Never started but started to play more and more throughout the year.
2. Kayon Thibodeaux: Only started when they lost a senior starter. Really came on throughout the year and became a stud.
3. Derek Stingley: Best CB in the nation from Day 1
4. Jadon Haselwood: Never started. Played more as the year wore on
5. Antonio Alfano: Never started. Bust
6. Trey Sanders: Missed the year with injury. Still not starting.
7. Evan Neal: Started all games. Stud
8. Zacch Pickens: Didn't start but did play more throughout the year.
9. Bru McCoy: Didn't play
10. Darnell Wright: Started but mostly at a position that's not going to be his long-term future.
Look, I'm not saying that our WRs last year were great, but unless they are absolute studs (Stingley, they're likely not going to start Day 1). People here wanted to play SPiker and Ausborn and those dudes haven't done shit and probably suck.
