    NOGAF what I think, but I'll throw it out here anyway. I'll be absolutely SHOCKED! if UW wins fewer than 10 games in 2016.

    Only way Washington goes 4-5 next year is if Browning gets hurt early in the year and the QB position development is total dreck. Even then the team should be able to mirror what Georgia did this year.

    So you have Petersen losing to Stanford, @ Oregon, and @ WSU. What are the other two losses?

    We all can speculate or create a variety of scenarios next year but it's difficult not to see the 2016 team going 6-3 in conference. The talent, experience, and depth are there while most Pac-12 teams need to rebuild / try to reload after a lot of good players have moved on.

    January 2016 - We closed the season strong. Looked great against WSU, OSU and So Miss. Recruiting is really going well. Lot's of young talent. We're getting rid of a bunch of losers. The culture is changing. It is fair to turn up the heat on Petersen next year if he doesn't win 10. I think he will.

    April 2016 - great spring workout. Obviously the guys worked out hard this winter and bought in to the conditioning program. Browning is very accurate. The new receivers are great. Gaskin! We could win 10 games this year.

    August 2016 - Can't wait for the season. 10 wins minimum. Highest SRS in history for our 7-6 team in 2015. Addition by subtraction with more Sark players gone. Petersen's guys are young but a big upgrade. Browning looks accurate at practice. Gaskin! 3rd year is the year to judge.

    October 2016 - sure the non conference schedule was easy but you can still be impressed with how good we looked. You can only play who is on the schedule. Feeling good about 7-2 or 6-3 at worse for the league.

    October 2016 - You can blame Petersen for fucking up the Stanford game or you can realize that Stanford is really good and we were right there with a chance to win. A close loss to a good team helps our SRS.

    October 2016 - It's hard to win in Eugene. Not sure Vince Lombardi would figure out how to get this team to play better there. We were close at halftime and put on a little rally there at the end. Lots of teams will lose by 30 to Oregon this year.

    November 2016 - Yes we are 2-4 in the league. I expected better but I also can look at why we are where we are and see the progress with this program. We are really close. We just need to get rid of the rest of the Sark players and get more recruiting classes in here. Petermen's first few classes are throw away classes because it takes time to get the word out that we are improving. We're in on a lot of big names this year. We need to close the season strong.

    December 2016 - We can't win the Apple Cup every year. At least it didn't cost us anything this time. Another 4-5 league record isn't what anyone wanted but I have been saying since April that it was possible. 7-5 is better than 6-6 last year. You don't fire a coach for improving. We get 15 practices for the Toilet Bowl which will help.

    January 2017 - 8 wins after a rousing bowl game win over N E South Louisiana Tech. 10 wins is a very reasonable goal for this year. What happened in the past is meaningless. Our 2016 SRS was very high for a 8-5 team. It is fair to turn up the heat on Petersen next year if he doesn't win 10. I think he will.
