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

My mindset as of today (managing my expectations)

I'm treating the 2024 season like it's a major league baseball expansion franchise.

We will have our Rupert Jones.

We will view things through the prism of the '25 season

Any winning this year is gravy

Thank god for the Weak early schedule

    It'll be fun to see what people predict when we do the preseason poll at the start of fall camp

    I think we can all smoke the peace pipe on this point: playing tomorrow would suck ass

    2015 is one of the only comparable seasons I can think of in my lifetime watching the team. Almost everything from 2014 was gone. A lot of young guys were gonna have to play. Low expectations. I thought if Petersen could get to 6-6 it showed he was the real deal and he did. I would put that number at 7-10 for Fisch. Things are different in the portal era though I'd say we also didn't know how good some of the talent Sark left was.

    I was thinking about that last night. In hindsight that season didn't have to be a rebuilding year, had a bunch of winnable games against Cal, Utah, Oregon, Boise.

    The handful of "automatic loss" games to doogs really are just good programs that still lost key pieces on offense, and coaching staff continuity is their main advantage.
