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

hey DAWG fans, first TIME in a while our DAWGS have any kind of expectations...

so NOW two scenarios are UPON us:

1) our DAWGS live up to expectations, win the North, make the playoffs, get beaten 42-10 by BAMA, and everyone is relatively happy.

2) our DAWGS fail hilariously to live up to expectations and play the way they have the past 15 years. This place gets highly entertaining.

    Rather easily, say an 81% chance?

    At the very least...

    It's going to be another shitshow season. Fuck this team. Just can't get excited about Husky football any more.

    Losing 12 in a row to Oregon can do that to you

    2. We should be relatively good, but this hype is insane. 7-6 last year, Pete has beaten very few, if any legitimately good teams, but this team has become a trendy pick.

    Fuck the losing streak to Oregon. It's all the other bullshit... being barely above .500 and blowing winnable games. On top of that, we? have an OC who is galactically stupid. Pete should have killed & buried him after the first season.
    I know you're being sarcastic, but killing and burying his offensive coordinator would have gotten Pete arrested and right now we would be going through a media circus trial that would probably captivate the nation and give Obama the needed ammo to call for the abolishing of football.
    Would have been more entertaining than the product on the field.
    so... Where'd you find the 13 year old Russian refugee to pose for your avatar?

    Some have picked "us" to get to the national championship gayme. This team was 4-6 at one point. Let's start with beating whOregon and ASU first. This team should be in the mix for a Rose Bowl in November at least though.

    I feel like the expectations are greater than 2000, quite honestly.

    IIRC we were projected top 15 and #1 in the PAC but no national title talk. And that was with a senior QB coming off a 2nd place Pac finish.

    I want to believe but most likely it plays out like ASUs hype last year. An exposing buttfucking to kick off the year and then mediocre the rest of the way (still good enough to beat UW).

    This. The hype around this team is completely unfounded and straight up fucktarded. I think this team is going to underperform and disappoint yet again. Either way, I'll win and it'll be interesting.

    For us to win the north/Pac-12 a few things have to go right:

    1. John Ross surpasses his prior self and is a legit weapon.
    2. Bush licks our WRs into shape and we get some decent play from them.
    3. Trey Adams' arms don't fall off and the entire OL improves.
    4. Browning stops choking.
    5. Our defense stops playing great then choking.
    6. We avoid major injuries.
    7. Babushka realizes the error of his pass-happy ways and play-actions to DD and Ross; but mostly just runs to Gaskin.

    Because none of these things will really happen, we are fucked. 8-4.

    1. Check
    2. Uh, no
    3. Only one arm falls off, OL more of the same
    4. See #2
    5. no choking by the defense
    6. major injuries are a given
    7. you must be kidding. See #2

    9-3, progress

    8. We somehow find decent edge pass rushers to replace Feeney and Middleton in a pass-happy conference.
    9. Jen Cohen never goes to a game.
