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

Q for those who went to the Spring Fling

I was looking over the Spring Game stats and noticed that Lindquist went 13-16 for 237 yards and 2 TDs and 1 INT.

How the hell did that happen?

Also, there've been people shitting on KJCS and saying he's struggling with accuracy and can't complete a pass over 5 yards, but he went 11-12 for 123 with an INT.

I know, I know, it's Spring Game stats, with a vanilla offense against a vanilla defense, but those numbers are still surprising considering how bad Lindquist was last year.

So for those who went to the Spring Game, how'd this happen / how'd they look?

    Lindy is from Mercer Island.

    the other boy can't decide on his own name.

    Case closed.

    What were Lockie's stats again?

    Lindy probably played against the 2s and 3s on defense.

    I'm not the biggest lindy fan, but we did all justifiably doog it up when we stole a QB from Harbaugh. Considering he didn't develop at all and just seemed happy to be a hometown kid on scholarship, we'll see how much progress he's made this fall.

    I liked Lindy a lot in HS. I can't figure out why he sucks so bad other than he just doesn't give two shits.

    He's pretty fast, he's built like a truck and he has a fucking cannon arm. Fucking Christ, there must just be a fucking empty bird's nest between his ears. Cerebral my ass.

    What part of he's a rich kid from Mercer Island don't you understand?
    I'm from Kent, so it's possible I over-corrected for my known bias against all Richie Rich white kids from MI or B-view.

    Just no fucking desire at all. F.

    I'm not letting you on the Lindy Bandwagon.

    I thought Lindy played a reasonable first half against Hawaii ... he was downright terrible during the second half but did make a couple plays on the last drive to solidify the victory.

    I'm not against the idea that he could be serviceable ... I doubt that he's going to be running a massively complex offense to start the year but could see a scenario where you run a simple enough offense where he has a couple of reads and then either takes off or throws it away where he could be successful.

    The problem for me with Lindy is that I have no true disconfirmatory evidence for my early eval, so I will always overrate him. Because unless he plays a whole season I won't update my belief about him.

    What is your Bayesian prior on Lindquist?

    To answer the original question, I wasn't there but I heard lindy had a 90 yard to pass that inflated his stats

    I've asked myself this same question about scores of players that have come thru UW in the last 15+ years.

    Does it all start @ the top with the UW Admin. (shit flows down hill, after all) ; is it coaching; recruiting philosophy; the program's culture; our PC, new age, dumbass, pussy fans; has the program lost its way?...

    Obvious answer is:

    ABUNDANCE

    So many wasted snaps on Miley. The single most damning thing about Lindy was the monsoon start by Troy Williams. Beyond that, he deserves the Boise game. He leads the team to win there, keep the shirt on Browning and LIPO.

    I'm 81% certain that Black Power was worthless, but I still wish he was on the roster.

    This is, I think, the essence of the point that @RaceBannon and I were trying to make all last fall. Miley sucked. We were wasting time. Play Black Power and let's see what we've got. Play Lindy. Who gives a shit?

    I think the reality is that Pete was/is/is/was installing a whole system last year with no vaseline and didn't GAF about BPTroy or anyone else. Which I respect. But, fuck. Miley was goddamn awful.

    Just that I saw him in high school and I thought he was really good. God damn it all to hell!

    I liked him more than I liked Browning (by a good amount) so, you can enjoy rubbing that one in my face (that's what she said, hardy har har) when Browning is All Pac-12 as a true freshman this year and Lindquist balloons to 337 lbs and starts work at a hedge fund.

    He probably would have been good, but I think Sark made a comment like "That is an NFL QB" when he was in high school, dooming him to be the James Atoe of QB's.

    I'll admit that I went to the Fling! I'd like to blame it on my two friends dads who drove up from Olympia to see Browning.

    But, quite honestly, I went because I live an incredibly miserable and exceedingly pathetic life.

    This is bullshit.

    A thread titled Spring Fling should have some orgy pics at a minimum.
