Softy: "Sark just needs signature win!"

"Signature" wins come after a team has improved. It is something you identify retroactively. Once a team has elevated its play to a high level and begins to beat quality opponents then you can look back to the first quality win and say this is the "signature" win that marks when the program had turned a corner. To preemptively speculate something is a "signature" win is doogish. Results first. You need a crystal ball or "real" insider access to know a program has gotten good before you see it in the W column.
 
The signature win is a myth. Someone please show me the program than changed its direction with 1 win. It's the biggest doogism of all. The notion that all Sark or Ty or any shitty coach has to do is show up for 1 game and it will solve all their problems.

The truth is building a program is a shit ton of little tiny steps and only a few giant ones. And you can take all the big steps you want, you're never going anywhere without all the little ones.

That was only a signature win because it helped them free themselves of Rich Brooks. Coach stays, and that game is just a microcosm of the Lambright era, not the catalyst for the invention of football.

Why I hope somehow Sark pulls a 10 win season out of his ass this year so he can bolt then maybe UW can get a real coach and actually have REAL progress.
 
Ok so no signature win, how about a signature loss? A wheels off loss you just can't recover from? Lloyd Carr app st, neuheisal miami 2001, etc?

That seems pretty fucking real

 
Fuck a signature win. And since when is beating a team that you are more talented then a signature win. Winning programs don't have signature wins because they are busy winning almost every game. Other than BCS bowl wins, there is no such thing as a signature win.

Lambo and his "whammy in Miami" agree with you.

That "signature win" was totally overshadowed by a massive signature loss later in the season.

Fuck.
 
Signature win? What does that even mean? I heard this on the radio yesterday, and I almost dialed in to ask if usc in 2009 was a signature win, or nebraska in San Diego in 2011.

All I hear is ASJ's suspension; how will Keith Price play this year; our stable of RBs; and Shaq Thompson and the LBs. That's it. Nothing about Danny Shelton being the only decent interior DL in Sark's 5 years. Potoa'e, Banks, and Lagafuaina all suck shit.

The first Seattle sportswriter, sports DJ, or anyone else in the mainstream media that stresses Sark's poor record of recruiting and developing interior DLs and OLs will have my respect. Until then, they're all just part of the problem.

Set yourself on fire already for listening to KJR in the first place.

Sark and his triannual plungers say "huh"

The Stanford game in the rain, in front of about 12 of us, 3 years ago, where we finally got our 100th yard of offense in the fourth quarter, showed anyone who was paying attention what kind of coach we have. Especially when the opponent knows which quarterback to start.

That was the moment when I officially stopped sitting on the fence for Sark and jumped off.

I wanted him fired after Oregon State in 2011 though.

Why he's still here despite several other plunger rapings and bad losses since then further shows that Washington Football is dead.
