If Peetahman loses Sat, he will not beat a team with a winning record during the regular season

Peter Piper is making Sark look like a genius. At least Sark got the Huskies an appearance on Game Day. Of course you ultimately owed your game day appearance to duck prestige, but that #16 ranking was good enough to get you on the big stage and draw the flag waving cougs to Seattle. It also gave Oregon the chance to add a key husky pelt to the collection, solidifying the duckade on a national platform, while firmly driving home the point that the ducks are the true kings of Pacific Northwest football.

Give Peter another year. If he doesn't have the team achieving a greater level of proficiency and trending upward, like Sonny Dykes has done with Cal, then I'd start worrying a bit. If he's as good as advertised, he should be able to put the chess pieces in order, and inspire whatever talent you've got at Washington to work together, buy in and play at a higher ability. I expect to see a more capable Husky team next year. Perhaps it will present a challenge to Oregon. Maybe. We'll see.

And that's a bad thing? Winter is the playoffs.

if at the start of the season someone told me Petersen wouldn't beat even one winning team during this season, I wouldn't have believed it for a minute.

Dykes looked shitty his first year too. He inherited a shitty team and seems to have improved it a great deal in his second year. They aren't good yet, but their current trajectory looks promising. Their offensive is truly impressive. Petersen needs to do what Saban did for Alabama, change the team and have it play to its strengths (like he did with their QB -- their team seems to have been custom fitted to Sims and his abilities; he's not even that great, but their team is clicking in their altered state) and fire, if necessary, inept assistants and coordinators. Clean house if that's what it takes. That may set you back yet another year, but I would think it would yield dividends in the longer term.

The PAC 12. You're Bayne.
