Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
One of the most disturbing things from yesterday

There's definitely something really wrong with the team when they perform like this with a supposedly veteran roster. "Unfinished Business" my ass.SFGbob said:
If you can't get up for your home opener after not playing in front of fans for two years and you need the coach to amp you up for the game then you have no business playing the game. Not just a Duck fan dumping on your guys but you have serious problems with your team if they couldn't get "up" and didn't want to play this game.haie said:
Sure, but the scholarship players had options. They don't want to play Montana and Eastern.PurpleBaze said:
If the players don't want to play in these games, then they should consider quitting football. Same for the coaches, who are making more money in one year than most of us will make in a lifetime. You sign a contract to coach/play football and you should go out there and give it your best shot regardless of the opponent. A competitive team would want to come out and absolutely destroy a team like Montana.haie said:This isn't an excuse to not bludgeon an FCS team at home, but players don't want to play in these games, coaches don't want to coach in them, and fans don't want to watch. Sucks for the Portland States of the world but this is just a bad product even when UW bulldozes them.
This game reminded me of 2014 when we were losing to Georgia State at half. I believe the coaches absolutely crushed them in the locker room. Wonder what was said at half last night. Too bad we don't have a Marcus Peters to come out and just beast the other team's receivers out of frustration.
We also nearly lost to Eastern. Twice.
I doubt Jimmy said much to the team at halftime, not that halftime speeches generally do any good.
There's nothing to be gained from playing games like this. But it's 100% Lake's job to get them up for it. And not treat it like a fucking practice.
But schools need to do us all a favor and stop scheduling these games. UCLA was pumped to play LSU, the entire Pac 12 North is playing boring ass mountain west schools for their opener except for Beavlet. This 'if you can't get up to play Arky State you need to quit football' stuff is.... probably not connected to reality for modern power 5 football players. -
You all are blind, the Griz are no fluke. You come to Missoula the Griz kick your ass by 30. That applies to any pac 12 team. The Griz are that good.

Is that why we beat you guys ny 50 when we had a real coach?billingsmafia said:You all are blind, the Griz are no fluke. You come to Missoula the Griz kick your ass by 30. That applies to any pac 12 team. The Griz are that good.
You suck, we just suck worse -
This thread should now move to the classics board.
For no other reason than we're being trolled by a Montana fan ... and our only legit comeback is that "we USED to beat you". -
You could always go with the academics smack talk. That worked for quite a few years when Oregon started routinely beating your ass.DHD said:This thread should now move to the classics board.

Good luck getting SEC teams to play away from home. Not much in it for them. They’ll gladly let you come and visit. Why would they travel to the west coast and risk a loss when they can sell out their stadium playing a FCS school?haie said:

In the last 20 years, the only SEC school that has played a home and away with Oregon was Mississippi State.
Oregon played LSU at the Kickoff Classic in Dallas, essentially a home game for LSU.
Oregon played at Tennessee.
Did LSU or Tennessee pay a return visit to Oregon? Hell no. They’re not stupid.
Oregon had a home and away game with Michigan and Wisconsin between 2000 and 2007.
Home and away games scheduled with Kansas State and Georgia were canceled as the date approached by both schools.
Oregon and tOSU scheduled a home and away game in 2020 and 2021.
Last season’s game at Autzen was canceled due to COVID. Oregon visits Columbus next weekend to get their comeuppance.
Ohio State has said they will reschedule to play at Autzen sometime after 2030. Sure.
Schedules are made out years in advance.
“But schools should do us all a favor and stop scheduling these games.”
It’s a business. You of all people should understand this. It’s not about the fans. If it was, why has the PAC-12 been scheduling so many night games? TV revenue.
Lesser programs go to the bigger programs for the payday and the loss . . . -
I actually feel like the only over reaction was against Dymo. He missed some passes but there seemed to be a bunch of drops and the 4th down throw was definitely pretty sick.
Coaching. Oline. Dline. Split problem between QB and WRs.
Montana dominating the lines is going to be the most bizarre husky moment of my life -

Haie:
Beavlet played at Purdue to open the season. It was scheduled many years ago as a home and away.
Purdue will visit Corvallis to play Beavlet in 2024, unless they cancel. They won’t.
LSU scheduled this game years ago and figured UCLA would be an easy win. UCLA has sucked, for the most part, the past 20 years. I don’t see a return visit scheduled at Baton Rouge.
Beavlet played at Baton Rouge (LSU) in 2004 for a payday and almost pulled the upset. LSU was defending national champion the year before with Nick Saban at the helm.
LSU had no return trip scheduled to LSU.
It’s all bout the $$$ and the leverage certain teams have.
If you can sell out a 90,000 seat stadium against anybody, why travel to a stadium that seats 45,000 max, lose money and take a chance of losing?
