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

Hype vs Time-Tempered Enthusiasm

Hype:

Hamdan return
DBs
RBs
OL run blocking
Interior DL

Fool-me-once:

Browning
Edge rushing
WRs
Unproven Tevis
Proven BBK

I feel I should be more excited than I am with a team this good, with an actual elite HC, and lots of returning talent. Can't shake the feeling Auburn is going to wack us.

    Im strangely optimistic. Pretty sure UW handles War Eagle rather easily. Say 34-17?

    We better hope solo. I'll jump off a bridge otherwise

    It’s the ghost of Strausser recruiting more than anything.

    If we had any 2 of Throckmorton, Sarrell, Eletise, or Vera-Tucker, I’d feel good about this game.

    Throck just shoulder pressed 365 yesterday. You know, faggy mustache weight program stuff.

    I have to hear about Auburn constantly and its annoying as fuck. Defensively they are fucking ace. They are going to stuff Gaskin, bully your O-line, and rape Brownsocks. If your offense doesn't give up points it will be a win for them.

    Their offense last year was the heroics of Johnson. That Bama game was some impressive shit. He was beat to death and just wouldn't quit and obviously he was useless for the SEC title game and they got smoked.

    Their O-line isn't great by SEC standards, which means it would be fantastic in the Pac-12. They weren't great at WR and Stidham makes really shitty choices when he is forced to move. It doesn't seem like they have an immediate replacement for Johnson so their running game could be fairly pedestrian. They graduated what was probably the best kicker in the country last year outside of the kid at Oregon (the one time we have a kicker and we blow).

    I could easily see the game being similar to the game Auburn played against Clemson last year where is was two QB's getting beaten to death and chased around while nothing happened. It will either be a nail biter or Auburn cruises. If they can run the ball it's over because UW won't.
