HuskyFanPodcast: Season Preview, Pac-12 Thoughts & Boise Preview

Winning on the road is different than winning at home ... we should expect to beat Boise at least 81% of the time at home.

This isn't a season defining game by any means. Conference record means far more at this point. I'd take a 5-4 or 6-3 conference record this year and a loss at Boise well ahead of a 3-4 win conference season and a 3-0 OOC record.

But if you are looking at a game that could signal that the corner has been turned and provide significant momentum to the team for this season, a win in this game would be HUGE for the confidence of the team as well as the number of blind doogs in the fanbase. After last year and the narrative that was fit by the fucktards to the fucktards, some positive buzz in the community would be nice.
 
I'm with Boobs. Beating Boise needs to be an afterthought, not an accomplishment.

Oregon on my the other hand...
 
Yeah... beating Oregon, Stanford, ASU and USC are the benchmarks. That what we should be doing...

Although when you are starting a true freshman at QB, a brand new O-line and cleaning up from your previous fucktarded coach, a road win at Boise is a nice step in the right direction.

Boobs is an asshole, a quality asshole at that, and I usually agree with his assholeishness....but in this particular case the game is worthy of a handicap. It would be a decent win and worthy of some moderate dooging.

I think it's fair to Doog it up for a win this week. It just won't be an indicator that the program is BACK.

A win or a loss *to Boise St* is not an indicator that we won't be ass raped by the top teams in our conference. Even @GrandpaSankey can see that.

I totally agree.
 
I will post some more on not only the game but the season later in the week, but one common theme that has been talked about out here lately has been the need to see a big upset (and preferably road upset) this year. Winning at Boise would qualify for this. I think many of us have circled Arizona St as being a very likely target later in the year. But if we can get Boise, there's a good chance that the progress may be accelerated this year.

If winning at Boise is a big upset, your fucking program sucks.

Winning at ASU, USC, or Stanford would obviously be bigger victories.

But at the same time, we're on the road, against a team that is ranked in the Top 25, with a decided home field advantage, in a game we're double digit underdogs.

Personally, I think the line is way too high and that Boise should be about a 6-7 point favorite heading into the game.

But if you think that this wouldn't be a big win for this, or really any program on its way up the ladder, you're either fucktarded or trolling ... and in your case, good chance abundance applies.

On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is beating Idaho in the Dog Food Dome and 10 is beating Ohio St or....Oregon (vomit), it's a 5.5.

Good confidence booster, decent win, but nothing more

I think your scale is not that far off ... I'd put it somewhere around a 6 or 7 ... very nice win but definitely not a win that would scream "we're back."

Scale superiority guy.
