Question for the bored

Going into the 2025 season, if someone asked, "how about an 8-4 regular season record and the best UW recruiting class in at least 7 years" would you have taken it?

(this means excluding taking issue with Fisch's offenses against above average defenses in the 4 losses sine you wouldn't have known about them)

    Yes, but I would do so begrudgingly. Likely I would've required winning the bowl, as well.

    Clearly he lost to a vastly inferior team. And, yes, it was only one this year on top of the two he lost to last year.

    I do wish the fuckstick would give up play calling but I don't think it will happen.

    I voted 8-5 in my preseason poll, so yes, I would've taken 8-4 with a strong recruiting class.

    OL did better than I expected, young WRs stepped up, run defense was much better, and LB play was improved over 2024.

    I said in the record prediction thread:

    I have regular season at 8-4. I want to believe we can get to 9-2 going in to Oregon, but I think we take a loss we shouldn't due to the opponent bye week issue.

    The team feels 2 wins better and schedule should be easier (less total miles traveled), two toughest games at home instead of road, should all flip the overall win probabilities in our favor on the whole. Plus Judd improved significantly from Year 1 to 2 at Zona. But can't really feel good until Judd wins a B1G road game or he can coach in a non-retarded fashion when trying to beat Cuog.

    That was a prediction thread, not an expectations thread, so I guess no.

    no, schedule called for 9 wins and a bowl game win. You can win and recruit well, at least that’s what top teams do each year.
