Larry makes a great point about the schedule -- something I've noticed but haven't heard any comments about. In essence, the Husky schedule is unfriendly, in that most of the pivotal games are on the road. Here's what I mean: (looking at schedule in August)
Swing games (pivotal): BSU, Arizona, ASU, UCLA, OSU
Likely wins: Illinois, Idaho St., Cal, Colo, WSU
Likely losses: Stan, Ore
Ideally, you'd like to see the pivotal games at home and the likely wins on the road. Unfortunately, the Dawgs have 3/5 of their pivotal games on the road and 5/6 of their likely wins at home.
To win 9 games, they have to "hold serve" on all their "likely win" games and win 3 of the 5 pivotal games. All three of the remaining pivotal games are on the road. They beat BSU and Ariz at home, so they'll need to win 2/3 vs. ASU, UCLA and OSU all on the road to have a chance to reach 9 wins.
So, from a "home and away" standpoint, the remaining schedule is a tough one. The ASU game is huge.
Judging by the comments and every comment that is critical of Sark receiving a ton of thumb downs and doog 101 posts like this have 7 thumbs up and zero thumbs down our fan base has learned nothing.
Again with the blaming of the conference schedule?!! Jesus Christ when do these excuses ever fucking end?!
This is why Washington is dead. Fans like these fucks put zero pressure and in fact support this bullshit program. So there is no sudden rush to change anything. To upper campus everything is going just great.
