Dick Baird opines on the TUFF schedule

Arizona at home is considered "Murderer's row" ??? My god has our program falling to shit if that is the case.

This dates back to Ty but I've always hated the "TUFF! Schedule" excuse when Doogs list our conference opponents.

I hate to break it to you guys but we play these guys every year so instead of bitching how tough they are how about demanding our University up the ante and surpass these fucks.
 
He literally hit every stereotypical Doog talking point including whining about running up the score.

Instead of bitching about Arizona running up the score why not hold the fucktarded coaching staff responsible for getting plunger raped to a fucking 7-6 team?

The article really did have a "Beat Oregon! Nothing Else Matters!" feel to it.
 
"Although the pre-season has a balance of one really good “A” caliber team (Boise State), one Big Ten “B level” team (Illinois, a 2-10 team last season), and one lower division “C” opponent, (Idaho State), they will be played in that order. Ideally you would want to play in reverse order and progressively improve along with the level of your opponent."

I stopped reading there.
 
I like being Dick Bairdfuckingstupid calling a 2-10 team a "B level" team in the same article where I'm bitching about a TUFF schedule. I do that.

That was a friggin disappointing season. Beating Ohio State and Miami in OOC games in the same season back then meant you had enough talent to compete for a conference title. Losing to USC always sucks, but it was downright embarrassing to lose to Oregon, Stanford and the Cougs that year. That was a clear sign that a change at the top would be needed.
 
dick "coaches-should-never-get-fired" baird? The guy has absolutely Z-E-R-O credibility. An ex-coach? Sure, but he has ruined his good name with the constant excuses and pandering over the past decade plus. I want to urinate in his bourbon.

Not to mention he actually had the audacity to scrap with me on air. What gall.

Bairds been using this FS talking point for years. Oh having to play a good team your first game is so hard, except that your opponent is in the exact same position. There is no advantage gained by playing Boise in the third game if they also get to play two games before it. It only makes sense if you are incapable of thinking.

And calling Boise an A game and Illinois a B game. Christ. UW is playing a B-F-F ooc schedule.
 
I too laughed at referring to BSU, Illinois and Idaho State as an ABC schedule. The only saving grace is the road trip to Chicago.

To be fair, it's a B-C-F schedule. Illinois is a BCS conference team after all.

Lambright should have been fired on the 50 yard line at the end of the Apple Cup Oregon game.
