Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Is UW vs Zona really a toss-up?

It sounds like half of you expect Rich Rod will take Sark to the woodshed again and the other half believe it will be a cakewalk for Sark's donut-hole sniffing Huskies. Is Saturday's game really that much of a brain-fart or could it turn out to be a barnburning toss-up?
Yes, the stomping we received in Tucson last year by Arizona under a new coach was shocking, even for Sarkball whose ineptitude on the road should by then have been approaching legendary disgust from any Dawgfan paying attention. However, my ticket says we catch the mildcats at our home on Saturday where Rich Rod has never been before and Sark's Huskies seem to possess some proficiency in saving their coach's bacon by beating these middling Pac-12 rivals when they come to town.
Sure, Arizona's undefeated record of 2.5 wins against the weak opposition of Northern Arizona(35-0), @ UNLV(58-13), and Texas-SA(38-13) is almost as impressive as UW's 2.5 wins against a similarly mediocre OOC schedule. Based on performances so far in 2013, neither team deserves to be favored except that our Huskies are at home where under Sark's management they are...... oh, never mind. Home field advantage is in this case worth at least a TD or two and perhaps more......... could I be more uncertain?
UW is likely favored and that's as it probably should be. IF Sark has solved his Ferrari's yip problems, the Husky offense will roll mostly behind Sankey's running setting up hurried bubbles on the wing and bombs down the middle and if UW's defense continues to improve, the final outcome won't be close. If nothing else and given what they suffered last year in Tucson, UW should be motivated to work hard all week and be prepared to blast the mildcats in the mouth.

The line is UW -8.5.
Washington should win this game. If the Huskies lose, TSIO to everyone with a pulse. -
So you're saying they should win?

Me and the REAL HHBs here are all hoping UW will lose, just so we can say we were right.

The season that is still over starts and finishes Saturday.

Huskies will win...Decker sucks.

WTF is Decker? And while we're at it, WTF is Denker - Ka'Deem CareyHuskyJW said:Huskies will win...Decker sucks.

Who is Decker, does he post here?

I'm not at all worried about this game. It's at home we'll be fine.
Next three games will define our season. -
Sloth could coach UW to a victory Saturday. Because of that, Sark will borderline cover.

I'm already right..win or lose this weekend.ThomasFremont said:Me and the REAL HHBs here are all hoping UW will lose, just so we can say we were right.

I think we win, but who knows with the slop Shark slaps on to the field.
If we were adequately prepared, and coached at a decent level, we win by 21 or more. I really don't believe AZ is very good. But.....this is Cream Puff, The Weak and Soft. Given that, this tends to be a toss up. In the end the home turf saves us. -

I gotta admit I couldn't stop laughing at that fucking sloth picture. Jesus.
