If we win out, we've turned a corner

Stanford is the game that got away because of poor special teams.ExtraChrisB said:

Nothing can be described as incremental progress until 7 stops getting blown out by Oregon, stops the damn 3-4 game losing streak, and knocks off at least one or 2 of the elite teams in the conference.
I'm not one to accept moral victories, not at all, but to say we got "absolutely destroyed" is a damn lie. We got blown out in one game (ASU), let another get away from us late (Oregon), and should have beaten the best team in the conference (Stanford).
I know the doom and gloom is your schtick but come on. Am I happy with the season so far? Hell no. Shit I was calling for Sark's head after ASU. But to argue that winning the final 6 to end the season 10-3 isn't improvement is ludicrous.
Now, if we come out and shit the bed next week, that changes everything.
Oregon beat us by 3 TDs. It was a blowout. Sort of keeping within 7-14 pts. for three quarters isn't good enough.
The ASU game was another humiliation. Sure 10-3 is better, but it's Karl Dorrell better. -
Did UCLA let the Oregon game "get away from them"?
No, the Bruins got whipped. But for Sark, it got away from him. Interesting. -
How can you turn a corner if you are in the same place as ever? We can still beat mediocre teams but not good ones...

UW "turned the corner" on a crisp December night, in San Diego, back in 2010.
Because THIS is Sark's ceiling. Sure...the occasional 9 or 10 win season will come along. And all the doogs will wet their panties. But even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
No program as soft, undisciplined and lacking in solid fundamental football will ever be a serious national contender.
And nothing in recent history has given me any reason to believe that Sark will win in either Corvallis or Pasadena
But hey...anytime you play in Pasadena it's "special" right? -
so Pac-12 records year to year if we finish out 3-0
4-5
5-4
5-4
5-4
6-3
6-3 should buy him one more year if UW still cared about football. It doesn't so that would buy him another extension.
I (like just about everyone on here) think we lose 1-2 more which would put us back at 5-4 or 4-5. Rinse repeat for the foreseeable future until we get a real winner to lead the charge. -
Yes, hopefully the bowl committee will realize we really only have like one loss, because we kind of beat Stanford if you watched the game and certainly the 21 point loss at home to Oregon was a win because it took them until after half time to finish the job.ExtraChrisB said:

Ty had a 10 win season at Notre Dame.

I don't deal in hypotheticals.ExtraChrisB said:10-3 (and a top 15-20 finish) would have to be considered a success, and I don't know how any of you could deny that.
Doogs gotta doog. -
This. It's progress, but who gives a shit? We are still a middle tier team and we be one again next year.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
6-3 in conference play is the bare minimum of incremental progress. I guess it's "success", but it's really shitty success.ExtraChrisB said:10-3 (and a top 15-20 finish) would have to be considered a success, and I don't know how any of you could deny that.
