The 2000 Rose Bowl team beat a 3-8 Colorado team 17-14. But we should probably all shit our pants and give up.

Interesting comparison to the '90 season there
Those Purdue and SJS games were pretty brutal, but that Hawaii game last night was worse. Of course back then, it was basically go through one or both of the LA schools, win the games you were supposed to, and you make the Rose Bowl. There was no Phil Knight Nike U or Stanfraud to really worry about, or at least pose as a serious threat or obstacle. The Beavers were a joke in the Arizona schools were about the same. Now it's different and I don't quite see them getting over the hump. Yet. If they beat Tree, then we see what happens in Eugene. Who knows. -
Player development and talent levels are a glaring TBD.
From just in-game coaching, though, Petersen did a good job. He knew his offensive was complete shit and he played the field position game masterfully (execution left a lot to be desired), effectively waiting for Chow to inevitably fuck it up.
It's the preseason and it should play out, but I echo cornel's worries about Jonathan Smith. Very small-timey so far. -

Didn't listen to the KOMO broadcast. But did I hear Bill Schwartz is back? Also Gaard Swanson during the pre-game?
Chuck needs to come back, although I'm sure he's busy @ the WAC
I woke up fully clothed next to a half eaten Kalua pig/pork sandwich. Laptop on my chest, logged into Husky Hardcore. Totally out of touch with local media

Weird, I woke up half naked with Poi smeared all over my face and size 26 sticky panties on my pillow.unfrozencaveman said:Didn't listen to the KOMO broadcast. But did I hear Bill Schwartz is back? Also Gaard Swanson during the pre-game?

Using Colorado in 2000 and the '90 season is cherry picking. Colorado in 2000 was a team with talent in a hostile environment. They played in the Fiesta Bowl the next season. I don't see Hawaii doing that and they will be lucky to be .500 in the MWC. It's a good example to keep things in perspective that the season isn't over, but there are plenty of other examples where a shitty opener was a sign of things to come. The 2011 win over Eastern is a prime example.
The season isn't over and we will certainly play better this season. That opener was shit though and wasn't good. Blaming Sark for what he left also bothers me. The OL and front 7 are all returning starters (besides Coleman Shelton at RT) and they got outplayed for most of the game against a bad MWC team that didn't win a conference game last year. If Lindquist was the only thing holding us back I would feel much better. I guess we are called doogs for caring about the scrimmage. Personally, I think excusing that kind of performance by saying it was only a scrimmage is much worse than over analyzing a non conference game.
I've been very vocal about supporting Petersen before he was even hired. That was shit though and not having your team ready to play is somewhat concerning. It was the fucking opener. if anything, the players should be too amped up. The old saying goes, "I'd rather have to tell a guy to calm down than to get him fired up." I am curious to how the team comes out next week. I think it will be a tough week of practice and we see a different team next week.
TL, DR version: TSINO, but that was a fucking horrible performance that shouldn't be ignored.
