    In all fairness everyone saying "The season starts..." was due to ignorance. Couldn't blame us for thinking that of Stanford, and that Arizona game was actually the only true toe-to-toe game we've had so far--but we all know how we were in the Desert.

    So it's only been twice as far as I recall. The season really does start in Utah though. They are actually a team who has proven themself with atleast -some- pedigree, mid-season.

    And to make it worse after Ohio state losing I'm safe to say we are IN. That means we are a playoff team, which mean everyone will be hitting us harder, faster and more serious, knowing this.

    Have to be alot more clairvoyant now.

    PAC 12 refs to the rescue
    Sssssshhhh, don't speaketh it.

    Ohio State losing didn't matter to UW. It has always been win out and we are in. One loss and we probably are not in unless there is a lot more chaos.

    Clairvoyant?

    I remember thinking before the season that if we could just get the monkey off our backs and win in the desert, and somehow keep it together for the huge games against the two behemoths (Tree and Duck) that all we would have to trip us up at the end were USC and possibly Utah.

    I couldn't even imagine how much Stanford would regress in a year, and while I knew Duck was slipping, a never saw a complete implosion. Well, the only two "beat you any given Saturday" teams left are USC and Utah, so I got that part right. Cal, Coug and ASU all suck, but they will beat you if you play like we played the second half last night.

    Anyway, PAC12 sucks, PAC12 network sucks, our season is only 5 games long and it starts next week. Go 5-0 and see the CFP in person as total bad asses, blow one and see the Rose Bowl as sort of bad asses, blow two and sit at home fingering your butthole as the 10-2 team that nobody gives a shit about.

    Yes Utah but Cuogs could definitely trip us...

    USC good but at home.

    I still think WSU could trip UW up, being a rivalry game and all

    Peterman has never had to face a ranked Washington State in front of 28,000 screaming Cougar fans
    Except 2014

    As far as last night went, I stopped watching at halftime because I had other things to do and it was over. I think the players knew it was over too. I listened online to part of the third (good to hear Rondeau again, Damon Huard....wtf...you replaced Chuck Nelson with that idiot?) so I know at least part of the second half is on the first string. I'll take a comfortable lead and not covering over almost blowing a game, or struggling to put away an inferior opponent any day. Coach Petersen will address it.

    Utah is not a great team. USC probably would have beaten them with a good coach, which they don't hire anymore anymore. Kal did beat them. They're at best maybe a top 15 team. If the Huskies play their game, they win it. I'm still worried that some team will trip them up at some point. I can't buy in to 13-0 and playing Clumpson from being 4-6 last November yet. It's a big leap.
