Losses to SDSU and Texas, with the team quitting on the coaching staff before conference play, TSIO in September, take a flamethrower to the staff offices and start over again, or just bulldoze the fucking stadium once and for all because the administration isn't committed to wiinning football FYFMFE

Chinned for calling it preseason.Gladstone said:What, if anything (hi boobs), would make you happy? Beyond three blowouts with little to no injury issues, I would like to see multiple wide receivers and running backs emerge as potential playmakers. I'd also like to see Psalm usurped prior to Pac-12 play.

I know you are being sarcastic but UW plays Rutgers and Idaho.BearsWiin said:Losses to SDSU and Texas, with the team quitting on the coaching staff before conference play, TSIO in September, take a flamethrower to the staff offices and start over again, or just bulldoze the fucking stadium once and for all because the administration isn't committed to wiinning football FYFMFE

I just hope they are all on the Pac 12 net work so I can't watch them

Good, hard fought games. Scores aren't necessarily reflective of progress so a loss wouldn't be damming for me. I never root against the kids.

Voted down for referencing WRs

Expanded reason why I flagged for the WR comment:
We're playing 3 shit teams in the preseason with Rutgers likely being the best competition. The playbook should be fairly vanilla in these games focusing on the run, getting out of the games healthy and with wins.
In 2 of the 3 games, we're playing schools where athletically we will have significant advantages. Even if we do throw the ball all over the place, we shouldn't be expecting to learn much from the passing game and certainly at that point we shouldn't be expecting any performance from any of those players to qualify as breakouts. The closest thing we'll be able to get to a breakout is if there's some sign of diversification of John Ross's route tree.
We won't begin to know what we have in the passing game until the first 3 conference games and even then what I expect is that you'll find the passing game spread out across multiple players. The biggest difference versus last year is that Ross will pull off 4-6 plays this season where he produces quick points just because of his abilities .. something that wasn't in play last year. In a game against an Oregon or Stanford, Ross having the ability to get an easy score may be the difference in the game. -

Disagree. Myles Gaskin broke out against Sac State last year. Yeah, he still had to prove it against real competition, which he did, but he broke out in the Sac State game. An Aaron Fuller or Andre Baccellia going off in the preseason wouldn't be meaningless. -

Blowouts checkGladstone said:What, if anything (hi boobs), would make you happy? Beyond three blowouts with little to no injury issues, I would like to see multiple wide receivers and running backs emerge as potential playmakers. I'd also like to see Psalm usurped prior to Pac-12 play.
No significant injuries check
WRs emerge big check
RBs emerge no
Psalm usurped not really? ugh -
Yeah. I was muttering to myself about this drunk one game. We can never get all of our shit together at the same time. Finally seeing decent WR play for the first time in forever, and now we can't run the ball. Shit.Gladstone said:
