Sunday Article: Would 8-5 record be cause for concern?

Been saying fans should prepare for 8-5 from the beginning, and everyone gets pms pain and says "no way". Guys from dawgman saying 10-11 wins. Sure could happen and likely will imho. But if it doesn't people better not blame Pete. He can't polish the turd Sark left him.

I've been bitching consistently over Sark's handling of the backup QB situation for 3 years (got me banned over there). Well, look at the qb situation now. Petersen ccan't wave his magic cockwand and create a 2 deep Oline. Sark was here 5 years and has one boner-fide LT on the roster, again not Pete's fault. Not Pete's fault we won't be able to stop the run when Shelton gets a breather or god forbid hurt. Not Pete's fault we have a walk on TE starting at DT (with no backup).

Pete gets 3-5 years to build a winner, Just like every head coach not in the SEC. I guarantee Pete will be in a rose bowl by or up to and through year 5. Cook that shit bitches. Oh, Sark would never have got us to a rose bowl.

8-5 would be 4-5 in conference. fuck that.
I don't give a shit who we're starting at qb either. 10 wins overall should be the minimum expectation, especially with the experience we have on both lines

10-win "Minimum expectation"? Let me guess you are under 25 years old? You realize we are talking football not Romarball? Since when has a new coach had a 10-win "minimum expectation"? Maybe Saban at Bammer when he 1st took over? That'd be about it dumbster, and he would have even gotten a pass.

Can't believe these demanding, uneducated and clueless fans of the new college football "win now" generation. Watch a decade or so of college football, understand the game then come pop off about realistic expectation.

You know who the qb is (with numbers to back it up)? The running back (with #'s to back it up)? Who is going to pick up #8 8 ' s production, most important in the redzone? What happens if Shelton goes down? Peters? Who's going to play safety? Who's going to clean up all of Nez Johnny ' s missed tackles, Feeney's boneheaded plays, Shaq ' s overpursuits? Think about shit before you spew expectations

The fuck is "understandable" about losing in Tucson? If we don't blow Vanilla Vick and co. utterly off the field, I will be there to personally punt Pete in the discipline hole.

Arizona was 26 and 22 the last two seasons according to SRS. Rich Rod didn't exactly inherit a lot (he didn't have nothing) but he's done a solid job so far. They lose 4 starters on offense and 5 on defense. They have some good incoming talent and guys who were injured or had to sit out last year. They do need to find a QB and someone to replace Carey. It may be a year before Rich Rod has a real breakout campaign. With a new QB and no Carey, our D should be able to control the game. But Rich Rod is a very good coach and Arizona will be tough at home.

I know what I saw last year. Fuck your metrics.

Arizona beat Oregon last year. Nothing else matters.

They also lost at home to Wazzu.

We weren't that far from losing to WSU at home.

The post-game relieved look on Sark's face said it all... I'm going to fucking USC!!

Its too bad we didn't know that the last two wins secured Sark's future and our significant upgrade at head coach. We would have been woofing it up big time.

The irony is that the delusional Duck fans that expect 12-1 every season call those who wouldn't freak out over an 8-5 season "Quooks." It's the Dawgman verson of a 'doog,' and I find it hilarious when these same clowns call the more realistic Duck fans "Quooks." It's idiotic.

With new digs, Nike backing, a Heisman contender at QB and the press sucking green and yellow schlong every year, you're a fucking Quook if you wouldn't freak out over an 8-5 season. That would be the end of Oregon football in this era. And ample reason to fire Helfrich. HTH.
