    Penn State neutral site was a nice but ultimately meaningless win. It also wasn't 90% PSU fans.

    Oregon had a charmin schedule for B1G standards in 2024 and was better in 2023

    I was there. It was a road game. Oregon maybe had 5,000 fans.

    Agreed on Oregon 2023>2024. Just look at the impact Bucky and Bo are having in the nfl.

    NTX, you have always been my favorite classy quook fan. Do you think an away game at Indiana or Penn State, something poor ole Warshington had to do, wouldve made the team more resilient?

    That first half collapse was inexcusable

    my takeaway from the rose bowl was that the only chance Oregon had was if Howard and smith both tore their ACLs celebrating the opening TD.

    their talent on the back end on defense puts Oregon’s to shame. Outside of Muhammad (who mightttt be their cb3) no one in Oregon’s secondary is sniffing playing time for Ohio state. Their two safeties made our two (Kobe and tysheem) look like MAC players. Definitely the biggest area to address if Oregon ever wants to win it all.

    the thing about cfb is that qb play at 80% of the teams is so poor you can get away with playing two bums at safety if the rest of the team is good. But when you run into wrs like UW had last year or Ohio state this year + a qb who can deliver them the ball deep, you’ll be screwed.

    I would disagree that our schedule was soft—but I would agree that outside of Ohio state in Eugene, we didn’t play a team who could exploit our biggest weakness all season, so it made us seem more dominant than we were. And I still have no idea why chip didn’t throw the ball deep more in the first meeting. They adapted, tosh didn’t. Or maybe chip was playing possum until the playoffs.

    And personally, I had a great time in Indy at the game (although the town sucks). But walking back with my friends after the game alarm bells were ringing in my head that we had allowed drew allar to look like qb1 in the next draft….because he actually stinks

    If UW had won 9 or 10 games this year, which was not a big ask with that schedule*, maybe the media wouldn't be so hesitant to fellate UW in the off-season?

    6-7 happened. We all saw it.

    Expecting 10 wins from a team that returned 2 starters isnt realistic.

    8? Sure.gif

    It should've been 8 with a chance at 9 in the bowl game

    well, at the point they didn't get past Ohio State, it wasn't exactly a nostradamus call, but still.

    this thing you have with the schedules, I mean, one of the foundational blocks of it was built on the tough loss to an 8-5 Iowa team on the road that Oregon miraculously escaped. It's not your best work. look, all you have to do is pretend Washington played Oregon's schedule and then reassess your "call". I am pretty sure if Washington beat Michigan on the road, Ohio State anywhere including at home, and Penn State anywhere, you'd be beating your chest pretty hard. Of that I have no doubt.

    Regardless of your keeping track of Race's cock, and while I do see a sliver of light to your point about Hebrew Sark's situation in his first season on the job, you do remind me of the other place these days. I don't recall that being the case with you before but maybe I forgot. There are some here who really do belong there, but in your case I think you've just strayed and need to come back into the fold.

    No one said expecting.

    The media didn't. Rational dwags didn't. I didn't.

    Therein lies the poont.

    UW delivered.
