Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Vorel does it again

That the Mariners are now everything we're not is a hysterical role reversal. No pulled punches from Mike.

    Sounds like Jerry Pettibone
    Great call back

    Vorel really doesn't pull any punches. I know that virtually everyone liked Newnham, and he was a good beat writer, but I don't remember him being as willing to take aim the staff so quickly and directly when it was called for Maybe he was and I just don't remember.

    He was famously used by Ty to say that Ty was quietly shocked at how bad the talent was when he came

    Quietly as in the lead column of the Seattle Times

    Newnham was a Seattle sports enabler.

    Jimmy is delusional

    “That’s the goal. We’re trying to score points. So the last three weeks we scored more points than the first two weeks. So mission accomplished there"


    "You see the spurts of what our offense can do. If we just keep executing and doing what we know how to do, I don’t think anyone can stop us.”

    Not defending Jimmy but to be fair the "You see the spurts of what our offense can do. If we just keep executing and doing what we know how to do, I don’t think anyone can stop us.”
    Was Mcgrew. But Jimmy was bullshittting himself and us if he thinks things are "Mission Accomplished."

    Well I inexplicably fucked up and dropped the wrong name. I meant Condotta.

    That post was from before golf and evening weed. My head is clear now.

    "Through five games, the Diet Coke of UW Death Row defenses ranks 101st nationally in opponent yards per carry (4.56) and 102nd in rushing defense (182.2 yards per game)."

    Lake's supposed calling card is Defense yet he lost Pete Kwat to Texas (PK couldn't stand working for Lake) and now the Husky D is bad. Exactly what does this d-bag bring to the table now?

    He is 2-3 this season with losses to Oregon State and Montana! What a disaster.

    They could just use tackling dummies and get about the same results

    The defense is not great, at all. But it’s not the the difference in winning & loosing right now.

    The defense has the pieces to be very good if not great.

    They're being horribly misused though.

    The defense has even shown the ability to stuff the run. They were doing it for a while against Beav, dropping their YPC from 6+ early in the game to <4 early in Q4, then went back into soft patticake mode after UW took the lead.

    The linebackers, both inside and outside, are slow and shitty. I'd like to see them stick with the three, or better yet, 4 man front (Biwman with hand down alongside 3 DTs) but keep 5-6 DBs on the field. I'd rather have Dom Hampton, Bookie, and even Irvin or Cook in the box than Sirmon or Tafisi (those two are the same player).

    I was impressed with the D in the only game I have seen. I still like the goal line stand against Michigan jumbo

    Not watching the games has been very healthy for me. I've enjoyed a lot of good games and am not near as upset as those poor souls with the Pac 12 Network

    Looks like I do get to watch our annual loss to UCLA. Sad

    In case you are wondering how I became interested in small/mid college football

    The defense is a fucking problem. Losing two games with under 100 opponent passing yards is insane.

    If our corners are as good as you fucking think, then stack the box and have them PROOVE they can throw the fucking ball.

    Fuck this team. Im a better OC than Donovan, a better DC than Gregory, and a better coach than Lake.

    Dont @ me

    Probably not … but point taken

    The outcomes of Oregon state, Michigan, Montana, and soon to be UCLA are all the same if their offense never attempts a pass.

    But the defense isn’t a problem. Wtf are ppl watching? It’s more scheme than personnel but cmon.

    Thanks. We weren't.
    Well, nobody other me is fan of small/mid football. That's what happens in extreme cases of disillusionment. It all started in Coach Willingham's tenure............................................................
