Stanford by 10. Prove me wrong, Pete.

Baird and Millen have already said that we shouldn't expect clutch performances from Browning as he's only a true sophomore. Real performances like that only come as an upperclassmen.
And it's that loser mentality that keeps us accepting of 7-5, 8-4 seasons.
But Petersen and the AD say we should fill the stadium -

Stanford. USC twice. Bowel game against classy team from Nebraska.
I am much more worried about Peterman's 3-6 record, at home, against conference opponents.
Seriously. 3-6 at home. FYFMFE.

It won't be different. I hope this helps.

They can only be assessed in hindsight, of course. Did those USC or Stanford wins propel the team into the upper tier of the Pac-12? No. Using my own logic we won't know for sure until seasons' end, but it damn well feels like it now. I like to fuck my cat.EwaDawg said:

A turning point can not be assessed until there is a body of work on either side. Maybe we had that turning point last game. Maybe this is the real turning point Friday. Maybe we don't have a turning point and we stay the same. Obviously the last few turning points were all duds. Realistically turning points are where you start to get incremental progress in the right direction and continue down that route. Not two steps forward, three steps to the side, then two back.Gladstone said:

I'll be bumping this thread after we lose 38-12!!!!!

If you go back to 1990, it's a very similar situation to what we have now. The 1989 team finished the season strong and went into the year with a lot of expectations. They started the 1990 season with a blah win over San Jose St and then an indifferent win at Purdue. Then we blew out #5 USC 31-0.Mad_Son said:

IF we see a similar situation Friday, then like the 1990 season, you knew you had the turning point at that time.
IF we see a narrow win, we still won't truly know because I think that there's a lot of question as to how good Stanford is. Like the Arizona win, finding a way to win on the road is a huge step for the program as would be beating Stanford in a game where eyeballs and expectations are there. But the win over Arizona only proves progress if we beat Stanford ... and if we beat Stanford the next hurdle of progress is beating Oregon.
I've said since before the season that this team has the talent to get to 3-0 going into the bye. I still think that that's very possible. IF that happens, to me the true turning point of where we are as a program would be how we handle the NEXT 3 game stretch against the Beavers, @Utah, and @Cal. -

Both have potential to be elite PAC defenses ... this defense is in a position where they are learning how to be elite. The big miss on this defense is having solid options on both rush ends. Only Mathis is an average or better edge rusher in the conference.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

People forget that the 1990 team was MENTALLY weak as well just like the entire Husky history up to that point.
First and goal at Colorado. I was sitting at the ten yard line at that end of the field and the mouthy fucking BUFF fan next to me finally shut up as he saw impending defeat.
We fucking blow it. And to make sure we blew it we lose at home to a soft faggoty UCLA 3-8 fucking true freshman QB of a team. We made that mother fucker a millionaire as he was smart enough to LEAVE before it became obvious how bad he sucked. Tommy F Maddox.
We SHOULD have had 5 Rose Bowls in a row and a natty or two a decade earlier but we fucking lost the APPLE CUP two years in a row and shit the bed AT Stanford as the #1 ranked team in the cuntry.
That's why the 91 Nebraska game is seared in my memory like Christmas in Cambodia because it was the only time in my LIFE that we were #HUSKYSTRONG and came back on the ROAD to beat a good team and completed the 12-0 natty.
In 1999 we lose to another horrible UCLA team to blow the conference. In 2000 we come out flat and soft on the ROAD at whOregon (lol) and lose that game keeping us from the BCS title game.
Then shit forever WE FUCKING SUCK.

So unbelievably doogish and stupid. Mariota, Manziel, Winston, Watson, Alabama's QB now... If you want to use guys similar to Browning, Colt McCoy, Kellen Moore.. If you're good you're good. It's just a stupid cliche that has become standard.MelloDawg said:Baird and Millen have already said that we shouldn't expect clutch performances from Browning as he's only a true sophomore.

UW will play some close games this year and Browning needs to come through. Fuck next year or the year after. This fucking year.
Browning could get hurt as an upperclassman, he could struggle, the team could be worse, USC could hire a great coach, etc.... Improvement and becoming clutch isn't always linear. He's started 15 games or so. He's not a green QB anymore. -
Brownig will be lucky to be able to walk after the game is over.

My wife and I had friends over to watch a few different games last saturday, I've got a bunch of SEC friends who wanted to watch A&M/Ark. So I pulled up the UW game on my ipad with headphones, to be a closed off introverted west coast fuck. My wife tried to ask me some bullshit question right when Arizona was busting loose that punt return in the 1st quarter. I'm not surprised that i'm not surprised that I dont remember being a huge asshole to her in response. needless to say we had a nice discussion once everyone left and I missed the 2nd quarter.
This week I'm boondoggling to the Stanford game with my brothers which falls on her birthday. There is no scenario this turns out well for me, I lead a miserable and pathetic life. -

I dooged it up hard one year and bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate our win that obviously never happened. Solemnly drank it all anyway after our inevitable plunger.
