The circle of life.RoadDawg55 said:I think a lot of posters actually supported this hire and can't bring themselves to admit just how bad Petersen has done. Many that didn't seem like Doogs a few years ago when Sark was coaching actually are. So we are seeing a lot of the same doogish shit we have read for years... Needs more time. Too young. Highlight individual players as if mediocre programs never have some good players. Blame Sark/Ty/Gilby/Neu.

Considering who did the hiring and who was considered it was a great hire. We were excited. We?. I was. But facts are pesky things. And the facts so far say either Petersen sucks or the systemic rot at UW makes it impossible for anyone to succeed.
I said systemic. Big word. Look it up -

My guess is Pool Boy got stars in his eyes over the OKG stuff because he knew it would go down well on campus, told Potato Pete that he wasn't going to be on the hook for championships, and what has happened was just a direct outcome of those two factors. In other words, Pete needs to move into his office last Saturday.RaceBannon said:Considering who did the hiring and who was considered it was a great hire. We were excited. We?. I was.

It's easy after the fact to look at any call and say that this should have been done versus that ...
Had Pete gone for it, we got stuffed, then Oregon went down and immediately scored a TD in what turned into a plunger game, I would expect that at least half of you miserable fucks would have been whining that Pete went for it.
It's one of those calls where if it works it's a great call ... if it doesn't you should have done the other ... and if you punt you're immediately in the wrong.
UW didn't lose that game because of punting there. -
UW would have converted it and kicked a field goal a handful of plays later, and would have only lost by 3. 26-23.
Perhaps Smith was relying on the belief that the defense was going to score more TDs than his offense. -
